Motorcycle Helmets..what's protecting your pretty head?

HunterICX · 06-29-11, 04:19 AM

Well yah...this thread is just an excuse to show of my new helmet

but...might as well have others showcase their helmets as well, so what's protecting that pretty head of yours?

anyway after my Bye Tenere helmet (seen here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/album.php?albumid=143) decided to have that plastic flap that's on the front of the helmet to break lose from one of the joints (I was quite suprised myself when I lifted the helmet as I was cleaning it and suddently had half the flap in my hand) it was time to get a new one with 1. a better fit as this bye was way to lose around the sides of my head and 2. better protection.

so got myself a SHOEI Hornet DS

what a beauty!!!

I don't have a pretty head to protect

I used to own a moped (looks like a harley's embrio) and I had an old US army helmet

. Bought it just for the ride.

A moped

When I read the headline, I was going to say:

"Well, if you want a really good one, buy a SHOEI."

Back in the early noughties I had an Arai RX7(can't remember the ending), it was nice, but I always aspired towards Shoei.

Nice one on the Shoei

Me, BMW System 5 flip up. Fantastic helmet, only downfall is the road noise.

Can't show mine, it's in storage along with pretty much everything else I own. It's just plain-jane black anyway, nothing special. It'll come out again, when I have a bike to wear it on.

I have several helmets, some for street and some for dirt.

My Shoei RF1100. I rarely use it except in the winter, when it's cold. It's a great helmet, has a wonderful fit.

This is my main helmet, an HJC FS-3. Nice fit, good ventilation, great field of vision.

Great time for a motorcyle thread, I just turned 30,000 miles on the V-Strom.... and 20,000 on the 1975 Suzuki GT380

Neal, you really have to come to Slovenia, it's a motorcycle heaven. If you like twists and turns and a lot of hills. If you prefer long straight roads then you're better of home

HunterICX · 07-01-11, 04:37 AM

Same can be said about Southern Spain, lots of variety driving in the mountains, plains, forests and nature parks

a Biker's Paradise.

We need more of them!

Same can be said about Switzerland, Scotland, Norway...
