The eight-time World Champion wore this adaptation of his famous Face helmet from the 2008 Mugello GP, replacing his own face with that of a Donkey.

The idea came about after Rossi crashed out of the Indianapolis GP whilst in second place and surrendering 25 points to closest title rival Jorge Lorenzo as a result.

And you can do something similar.  

The AGV design-your-own-face-helmet site is still up and running and you can put anything on the top, including a donkey if you so wish.
