Introducing the Limited Edition Drewl Special 2008 Reggie's RoadHouse BBQ Lid


Rare edition for a limited time only. Offer good while supplies last, first come first served. Subject to availability and dealer participation. Expires 8/26/08.

 

I wear prescription glasses. I've found that manufacturers on some of the more expensive lids will make the shields in an actual curved mold, rather than a straight piece which is subsequently bent and shaped to fit the helmet.

The difference, for me at least, is that the optics are much better, especially if wearing polarized sunglasses. There's something about some of the face shields where I would get what looked like prisms out of the corner of my eye. Annoying to say the least, but possibly a danger as well.

All other things being equal, I gladly will pay $500 for a helmet that gave me excellent visual properties versus $200 for a helmet with poor visual qualities.

 

I had an older Arai that I replaced with an HJC AC-12 Carbon last year. Mmmm...carbon fiber.

 

I'm a noob so my first helmet I bought 3 months ago was a discontinued KBC tk-7 and was decent but heavy and hot. I just picked up the same shoei rf-1000 diabolic as you earlier today. The difference is incredible with the wind having no effect even if I lift my chin up at 80 compared to getting pushed around at anything over 45 before even with head tilted down. I must also have a shoei head as it fits like a glove and although I'm always open to try other brands this one will be hard to top.

Drewl, Ya killing me

I like the helmet remind me of Walmart happy face.:thumb::thumb:

 

Present helmet is a Schuberth C2 flip-up which replaced a Schuberth flip-up, which replaced a Shoei Synchrotech, which replaced a Shoei Duotech, which replaced a Shoei, which replaced another Shoei, which replaced a Bell, which replaced another Bell, and several more before that.

 

Shoei TZ-R. A very quiet helmet that's ideal when combined with Autocom's in-helmet ear speakers and microphone. (The Autocom system is designed to allow the rider to wear 15-25 Db earplugs. The TZ-R works quite well with the Autocom headset and earplugs. Highly recommended.)

 

Here it is Drewl

I don,t have time sit around and get paid like you, So it take me a little longer:bootyshake2:

Where did you get that picture of my sister? Dammit!

 

Wow. I have to ask. It must be one of three things. Are you really old? Is you riding style quite adventurous? Or do you just plain have too much money?
No offense Bud but with at least 10 helmets in the past, one wonders. Maybe you collect things.

 

Shoei. X-sp2.

 

Nice picture

Where is the location?

 

Shoei RF1000 with no complaints.

 

LOL Pretty old: 59. I've been riding since about 1963 and have always worn a helmet. I usually replaced them when they started fitting too loosely IMO. I wore open face helmets until I bought my first Shoei which was a full face, in around '84 I suppose. I wear glasses so the flip-up helmets are a boon to me, and I've gotten very used to the integrated movable sun shield on the Schuberth's. And I've bought a few for girl friends and wives and such.

I've never had to replace a helmet, or any riding gear, because of an accident on my road bikes, just never had an accident on a road bike. Dirt bikes don't count. LOL If you don't crash on a dirt bike you're just not having enough fun.

 

Scorpion EXO 700 for around town and the 1000 for longer trips. The 1000 fits tighter and has less wind noise. I put the Pro Line windjammer II on both of them to quite them even more. I think it worked well but now am more likely to fog the 700 in the cool mornings.
