    SKULLY Helmet

    I'm wonder if any of you guys have tried the Skully Helmet. Sounds really high tech but $1,899.00 plus tax and shipping is a lot to spend for something not tried and true. Now comes carbon fiber so the weight might be manageable. What are your thoughts?

    SKULLY Ceases Operations
    It is with great regret we must announce that SKULLY will formally cease operations, effective immediately. Over the past several weeks our management team has worked feverishly to raise additional capital but unforeseen challenges and circumstances, beyond our control, made this effort impossible. What this means now is that SKULLY will no longer be able to ship AR-1 Units or process refunds directly.

    Substantially all of the assets of SKULLY are now subject to liens held by a secured creditor. The management team does not know if there will be any value above the amount of the secured debt. In addition, at this time, we are not aware whether there will be any distribution amounts available to unsecured creditors. SKULLY now plans to file a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy case within the next several weeks. You will receive notice from the Bankruptcy Court and instructions on how to file a claim.
    Our team is devastated and deeply saddened that our valued partners, vendors, employees and customers have been negatively affected by what has transpired. We realize there are many unanswered questions and that this is a very upsetting situation. We are truly sorry.

    Found an update. Back in business with new owner

    If you are not part of the solution, YOU are the problem.

    Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty.

    At $1900 bucks, I would say their price point isn't aimed at you average biker.

    They can keep it. Especially after their management screwed up the first manufactured attempt.

    Don't worry the Chinese are probably working on a copy and it'll be a third of the price with a built in hard drive to record, Walmart will have it by summer '19.

    They'll probably call it "SKUL LEE" so they won't screw with the copyright. In the meanwhile you can get A Simpson Stilo Carbon Fiber for a cool $5000, I wonder if that includes shipping.

    Simpson is a racing helmet, might not pass SNELL or DOT...... LOL.. Wonder what the NASCAR drivers have to pay for their custom made to fit their head helmets w/ all the ads on them. Then a driver gets pissed and throws it at another driver. Dale Jr. is worth the most @ $300 million, most of the top name drivers range from that to around 30-40 million.
