Okay here's a bit of fun.

Utopia has kindly donated a lovely new open face helmet to the club. I also have some other bits and pieces to dispose of.
I thought it would be a fun idea to auction them off on here. I hope you get into the spirit.

The bidding starts at £7 which equates to the postage cost. Bidding ends at 2100 on Thursday 13th July. PayPal payment to ukmoc.merch. All but the postage will go into club funds.

As you can see it's new apart from being used for one ride when Jeff found it to be not to his taste. It's a limited edition design Bell open face with Gold trim.
Size L 59cm to 60cm bonce circumference.
Lining is all fresh and new.
All the original inclusions and instructions are there including some reflective stickers obligatory for France apparently.
Comes in a sturdy Bell holdall, which will be a handy Manbag when you take the helmet out.

Do I hear a tenner to kick it off?

OK not really my thing but who knows------ I'll open the bidding £50

Nice one Jeff

Mr Gazza · 07-07-2023, 06:54 AM

Wow! impressive opening bid there Kato. Thank you.

The paint job is by Roland Sands, who is also a custom bike builder apparently.. Aren't we all though?

Bitza · 07-07-2023, 07:39 AM

OK I'll go £60, Bitza

Dukedesmo · 07-07-2023, 09:05 AM

Nice one, unfortunately I won't be bidding as there is no way my big, fat head would fit in that helmet.

Like the idea though.

Mr Gazza · 07-07-2023, 09:20 AM

I'm the Big Giant Head.

Thank you Bitza.

Forgot to put all the pictures up.
It's a double D-ring fastener btw.

The helmet would be too small but the bag might fit...

Mr Gazza · 07-07-2023, 10:02 AM

Almost fits, but okay if I put the handles over my ears.
Not sure I could clench my ears long enough for a ride?

Mr Gazza · 12-07-2023, 06:51 PM

Bitza still holds the highest bid at £60 with only one day till the end of the auction.

Anyone going to pop a cheeky last minute bid in?

Its too small for you -but too big for me!

Mr Gazza · 13-07-2023, 07:02 PM

Getting close now!
The hammer goes down at precisely 2100.

Will we have a last minute rush?

Going....

Mr Gazza · 13-07-2023, 07:59 PM

Going.....

Mr Gazza · 13-07-2023, 08:01 PM

Gone.

Well done Bitza, you've got a bargain.

utopia · 13-07-2023, 08:56 PM

Bitza gets a bargain, the club gets some funds and I find a good home for a helmet which would otherwise have sat unused in a cupboard.
Everyone's a winner.

Thanks for your bids guys and I hope its a good fit for you, Bitza.

This has got me thinking ... I have a couple of pairs of leather jeans and maybe a jacket too which are all surplus to my needs.
Maybe they should go on the old MOC-Bay too.

Mr Gazza · 14-07-2023, 06:05 AM

Thank you for donating your helmet Jeff and getting the ball rolling. I'm chuffed to see it take off and very pleased with the result.

By all means continue with MOC-bay, the internet market place with a Monster grin factor..

I can't wait for lot 2. Watch this space.
