Here's the one TB got me for Christmas. My theory, albeit most likely flawed, is that if someone gets behind me on the road and thinks there's a girl riding the bike in front of him, he'll think "Girls can't ride motorcycles" and will keep his distance.
What make is that thing, Sunbert?
My wifey needs a new helmet!

I'm thinking that they will keep their distance due to thinking, "that chick will stomp on us if we get too close".
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government.
Sunbert, I am thinking that if you had a hemet painted to look like that mug in your avatar ANYBODY would stay away!
I know it's not you, btw! Someone told me it was a pic of BDA before he lost his looks!?!

RX-7 Arai Nicky Hayden "wired" addition. I used to run HJC because of the price. But after running the Arai, it's the only way to go. I knew it was the best helmet ever on my head within a half mile on the road. Well worth the price.
BK, how do you like the KBC stuff? I don't think I've ever seen any in person around these parts.
I wasn't a big KBC fan either, but this is their top of the line helmet (of its time) and it's actually pretty nice. Its quieter than the Arai and Suumy, and feels lighter on the head. The only thing that bugs me about this helmet, is that I've been waiting for months for a dark smoke visor, seems they are still on back order.
If I HAD to buy another one right now, it would be a Scorpian. The Vemar and original alliance are discontinued, and the Scorpian beats the Icon out by far.
I'd get the high-vis yellow Raider.

Vemar here. Had a Shoei before that and really like the Vemar better. Ventilation is better and fits my noggin well. The nofog clear lens works like magic.
The one I now use is a Scorpion EXO-700. The silver Geronimo.
I also have a collection of Arais that have hit the pavement and one that was retired in favor of the Scorpion.
Only pic I can find of it at the moment.

My Arais have all been XLs, but my Scorpion is an L. It is tighter, but more comfortable.
I LOVE the fit and feel of the Scorpion. The Arai doesn't even come close in comfort in my book. It is also lighter and less prone to wind buffetting than the Arai.

Wow, I like the Arai, f1!
Anyone wear a shark helmet?

on the EXO-700 Scorpion. About the most comfortable helmet I have ever worn (and I've worn about 40 over the years).
