helmets

i have a rare Ikea waste paper bin for sale ... some marks but otherwise good. Will anybody offer me $100 ?
 
I had a shark S900 and it was as noisy as feck, I now use an HJC carbon and it's a lot quieter.
I reckon it's down to the individual head, I've had all sorts over the years and I would rate this HJC
as the best fit for me so far, try before you buy, if you can.
 
Having spent a couple of weeks trying on all manner of lids I have settled on a Shoei XR1100 ... plus smoked visor ... plus iridium visor ...

Second choice would have been a Roof ...

Incredible how different lids "of the same size" can fit.

Too pinchy on cheeks / too tippy back and forwards / too close to bugle / too tight on lugs.

Try before you buy.
 
I got one of them in matt black, use it as me every day lid cos it's easy to get on & off & comfy too. Supposed to be really quiet but tbh can't say it's any quieter than me Arai's I did have to get custom cheek pieces cos to begin with it kept riding up me bonce & I very nearly sold it.

Anyway Paul have now totally moved from The Lion to the flats opposite the Wynnstay No32 so when you're in the area I'll see if I can knock you up a bowl of soup. Or if you want to go out and play I'm now free to as finished decorating, laying carpets, fitting curtains, setting up Hi Fi & Surround sound etc. just a few littl chores then Chez Mick is is sorted. Just waiting for me redundancy pay out then should be able to justify burning a bit of decadant petrol.
 
ye im up for a ride out when the weather gets a bit better mick, which wynnstay
 
Glad to hear that you managed to get somewhere local TM. What you done with the farmyard full of animals?

you were wearing that open faced pan when I first saw / inroduced myself to you in the petrol station in Llanfairfuknows ... and a stras and stripes face mask. And high heel leather thigh boots
 
crotchless panties & laderhosen to boot.

was indeed had it custom made by Davida colour scheme to go with the T. Thought it would be cool for lazy days tootling about the place which happens never as my right wrist seems to have only two positions.
 
Ok, here's my collection!!:

Pinched the images sorry but you get the idea.

Arai don't use - too old. Was quality though.

Caberg v handy but heavy and noisy as **** - great sun visor.


Use Shoei & AGV all the time.

Removed the peak on Shoei - great helmet, used to match my orange XT & built in Pinlock superb.

Love the AGV but not quite as comfy as Shoei, however built in sun visor handy but nowhere near as easy to use or good as Caberg one.


:thumbup
 
I had a clearout last year
Now I only have a shoei x-spirit and XR1000 ,a ROOF ,a Vehmar (daughters lid) a nolan flip front and a AGV

Only.....lol blood hell.....I've only got 2 and the 2nd one doesn't get used it's my old arai
 
A good selection. I had a clearout too & bought all new so should be good for another 10 years unless I have to sell some. Even replaced Arai astro j Parkes red & Blue with an identical old stock model. Think I sold the 2003 Old one for about £150 & got the new one for about £200
 
I only use the Shoei,s and the flip was my instructing lid ,the rest are kept for daughters,nephews etc to borrow
I gave away a Shoei xr900 and a raid ,a shark and a couple of box lids I got when my training school shut down
