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.

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

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.
