Your Lid - Page 2

cynyc · 07-16-2008, 05:26 AM

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

drewl · 07-16-2008, 10:27 AM

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

Nungboy · 07-16-2008, 11:08 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, 11:13 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, 12:15 PM

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, 12:20 PM

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

Carnage · 07-16-2008, 12:28 PM

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, 12:36 PM

This one for me.

yoda6669 · 07-16-2008, 01:15 PM

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

MOVE OVER! Red Dragon comming trough!

Bubba Zanetti · 07-16-2008, 01:20 PM

Shoei RF1000 in Axis Yellow.

Longerfellow · 07-16-2008, 02:07 PM

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

zx5go · 07-16-2008, 03:27 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, 03:29 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, 03:54 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.

Since this post was worthless without pictures...

Britt · 07-16-2008, 04:17 PM

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, 05:23 PM

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

KC-10 FE · 07-16-2008, 05:36 PM

Arai RX7 The Wraith

3rd Arai in a row for me.

KC-10 FE out...

drewl · 07-18-2008, 01:01 PM

Anyone else?

whitesmokeyzf · 07-18-2008, 01:08 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, 01:51 PM

Vemar VSR....And A Suomy Vandal

Zachary6 · 07-18-2008, 02:02 PM

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

cynyc · 07-18-2008, 02:11 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, 03:01 PM

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

DANIMAL · 07-18-2008, 03:35 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, 03:37 PM

brand new =)

Greenviffer · 07-18-2008, 03:49 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.
