The $1,200 Spongebob Squarepants motorcycle helmet

Think “motorcycle helmet” and you probably thing of some combination of flames, eagles, stars or star eagles fighting Indians with flames. What you don’t likely think of is an asexual sea sponge cartoon character. This special edition Ruby Pavillon marks the 10th anniversary of Nickelodeon’s wildly popular series Spongebob Squarepants.

Based on the already high-end Pavillon helmet — carbonfiber shell, nappa lambskin lining – the Spongebob edition is available in both Europe and the USA, but only 200 will ever be produced. It’s that exclusivity which likely explains the $1,200 price tag (regular Pavillon’s sticker for around $700), but don’t worry, if that’s too rich for you, there’s also a $180 silk Spongebob scarf.

Just in case any of our cave-dwelling readers haven’t had the pleasure of watching a Spongebob Squarepants episode, we’ve embedded one below.  >
