Your Lid

drewl · 07-15-2008, 07:00 PM

I'd like to know what you keep your mellon in on the bike. I don't care which is best, I just want to know which one you wear.

Throw up some pics if you got 'em.

porcupine73 · 07-15-2008, 07:02 PM

Scorpion Exo 700, wearing it in my pic to left. Oh Drewl you forgot to mention what is your lid?

drewl · 07-15-2008, 07:43 PM

Seriously thought about the drool, still might do it. Maybe if I ever get a real helmet I'll trash the old drewl even more.

Hotbrakes · 07-15-2008, 07:54 PM

Arai. This is my 4th one. The others went with the bikes, that gives me a good excuse to get another. I've gotten all except one on Ebay for good prices, in excellent condition. The first came with my first bike.

sidlives · 07-15-2008, 07:57 PM

I have a Shoei RF-1000 diabolic 2 and my wife's is a Scorpion exo 700 Black Dhalia. The matte black and red on her helmet makes it look awesome if only Scorpion made a mens helmet to match.

R.W. · 07-15-2008, 08:01 PM

Shoei X-11 Vermeulen

VsVFR · 07-15-2008, 08:07 PM

HJC CL-SP Phoenix for me and the wife. She's not real happy with hers, says there is too much wind noise. But mine is great and I got a great deal on them too!

Gatekeeper · 07-15-2008, 08:14 PM

2 KBC TK-8 (Street on sportbikes.)
1 KBC Force RR (Racetrack)
1 Bieffe Half helmet (putzing around on my vintage CT-90.)
1 Z1R 3/4 helmet with headphones and mic. (For my Bagger)
1 Fox Moto (for dirt)

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.)

PAR518 · 07-15-2008, 08:21 PM

Scorpion EXO-700 Burst. I've had Shoei 900 & 700s in the past. I was never happy with the venting though (yes, I'm a hot-head). However, I've been very impressed with the Scorpion venting/construction/quality/fit - all at a great price (rated very well also)!

Drewl, I'm looking forward to seeing that "custom lid" in August...

Mephit Blue · 07-15-2008, 08:29 PM

Another Scorpion EXO-700 guy here. The new Shoei's didn't fit my head as well as my old one and the Scorpion was a perfect fit. Nice helmet and amazingly, there anti-fog shield actually does not fog up.

Only complaint is that it's a little noisier than my old Shoel, but not by much.

34468 Randy · 07-15-2008, 08:34 PM

Shark....identical right down to the dark tinted screen as Actions. But use the clear screen during the morning commute (02:30)

Shoei XR1000 (RF) since 2004, what makes it a great helmet for me is zero buffeting at any speed and very neutral when looking around.

Lgn001 · 07-15-2008, 10:53 PM

KBC VR-1 that replaced a KBC TK200-S. KBC is the only helmet that fits my head right. I've tried Arai, Shoei, Bell, HJC, and almost every full face that I have seen, and there is always something that never feels right. The KBC's just fit.

I remember reading somewhere that helmet manufacturers design their helmets for particular head shapes. It made me feel better, because I was starting to think that my head was deformed. Not that it isn't...
