Your Lid

**cynyc** · 07-16-2008 04:26 AM

HJC CL15. Came with the bike, so, it'll do until I find another one that I like.

**drewl** · 07-16-2008 09:27 AM

Great response guys, keep it up.
Love the pics, too. There are some sweet lids out there.

**Nungboy** · 07-16-2008 10:08 AM

An old Mets cap.

But seriously, an ICON Domain. I am very happy with it...or, as Drewl would say: "...yeah!"

**ILVFR75** · 07-16-2008 10:13 AM

I've got an Arai Profile (Spiral Red). Love it!!! Comfortable as hell and absolutely rock solid at speed, and it does it without a bunch of funky looking spoilers all over the place.

**Nungboy** · 07-16-2008 11:15 AM

HEY! I resemble that remark!
I kinda like the spacey spoiler look of my Domain.
It is cool that there are so many choices of looks and functionality out there so that we can all have what makes us happy.

**Nungboy** · 07-16-2008 11:20 AM

Ok, I think I got the picture now...

**Carnage** · 07-16-2008 11:28 AM

I have a black Shoei 1000 and a HJC cl-15 Draco.

Hey Nungboy,
I certainly wasn't trying to call you out and I wasn't referring specifically to your Icon. I'm just a more subdued kind of a guy and want a more subdued looking helmet. You're right, there are a lot of choices out there and it's nice that we can all find something that first of all, fits our head and secondly fits our personality.

**Sye** · 07-16-2008 11:36 AM

This one for me.

**yoda6669** · 07-16-2008 12:15 PM

yodasmile Say hello to my little friend! ICON Manic. Love the mean look!

MOVE OVER! Red Dragon comming trough!

**Bubba Zanetti** · 07-16-2008 12:20 PM

Shoei RF1000 in Axis Yellow.

**Longerfellow** · 07-16-2008 01:07 PM

Shoei RF1000 in RED. I like other helmets, but I have a Shoei shaped head...

**zx5go** · 07-16-2008 02:27 PM

Shoei RF-1000 in black. Should have bought an X-Eleven in the first place but now I have an excuse to buy another.

**drewl** · 07-16-2008 02:29 PM

any more pics?

Thanks ILVFR75. I sensed you didn't even have a mental picture of my Domain but were just generically mentioning the various spoilers and geegaws that some helmets have. I like being goofy here in the Forum (and on the bike too I guess!) so had to jump in and be silly. Thanks for letting me have some fun!
GOOD KARMA!

**Swoop** · 07-16-2008 02:54 PM

HJC CL-14 in basic black... with black visor.

Have had this for a few years now, so I'm looking at getting a Shoei Raid2. These have a good reputation from other riders and are quite reasonably priced.

Got a lot of different leathers and other riding gear, too. (Textile, 2 pc leathers, 1 piece kangaroo. Bomber coat and chaps. Full pressure suit and gear for off road.)

Since this post was worthless without pictures...

Shoei RF-1000 in Anthracite. Previous helmet was the RF-900, which did its job well in a high side...

I have a "Shoei" shaped head.

**SLOav8r** · 07-16-2008 04:23 PM

Shoe RF1000 -- love it. Although I may have went Scorpion 1000, but they weren't out yet.

**KC-10 FE** · 07-16-2008 04:36 PM

Arai RX7 The Wraith

3rd Arai in a row for me.

KC-10 FE out...

**drewl** · 07-18-2008 12:01 PM

Anyone else?

**whitesmokeyzf** · 07-18-2008 12:08 PM

Icon Main Frame Hooligan. Tested it face first @ 55mph worked great, bought another one just like it.

Just a reminder....... Helmets have experation dates and may not work when you need them to.

**EJS4029** · 07-18-2008 12:51 PM

Vemar VSR....And A Suomy Vandal

**Zachary6** · 07-18-2008 01:02 PM

Shoei Rf1000 but I was sooo close to buying a Shark RSR2, my glasses would not fit in it.

**cynyc** · 07-18-2008 01:11 PM

I love some of these helmets guys. Where do you buy them? Online?

I've been looking for an Arai or Shoei. Anyplace with descent prices?

**arch4ngel** · 07-18-2008 02:01 PM

AGV TiTech here.
BSI certified instead of the usual snell, very light weight and great venting helmet.

**DANIMAL** · 07-18-2008 02:35 PM

both my Shoei's came from Ridegear.com. Went to a local Bike shop to try it on, originally
Got a real good price for the X-11's. "if you have a ten dollar head then buy a ten dollar helmet." It was an old honda ad slogan. this helmet is very light and super quiet. I don't even notice and wind effects(buffeting) at any speed.
Helmet MSRP $692.00
Bikeshop $770.00 plus Tax
Ride Gear
White- $504 free shipping
Red Kagayama $534 free shipping

**w0oter** · 07-18-2008 02:37 PM

brand new =)

**Greenviffer** · 07-18-2008 02:49 PM

I purchased an Arai Vector (new model for '08) right before my 3 day 800 mile trip. I absolutely loved it!! I bought a lot of new gear for the trip and this was definitely the best purchase.

The only drawback is the whole liner is not removable for washing, just the cheekpads. In retrospect I would have bought the Corsaur Rx-7 for the removable pads. I still love the helmet though and I will only buy Arai for now on.
