just got a new one, the wife hates it, so I am wanting to see pics of what you all wear(when and if you wear em).

GregR1 · 05-07-2007, 09:06 AM

i just picked up my chrome-dome. it's a KBC VR-2 in that mirror-type paint. it's kind of like chrome, but not as bright. i've retired my all-black HJC CL-12 now.

you looking for yourself or for your wife?

mdc · 05-07-2007, 11:01 AM

I have two:

Shoei RF1000 Badge

KBC Stealth

I don't enjoy riding with a half helmet ... I feel filthy afterwards

kilthro · 05-08-2007, 11:42 AM

Mine is an HJC - cl-sp phoenix.
THey had one that was a dark grey with a tribal design that I really wanted but not in my size and I didn't want to have to wait a week to get it. So I settle for this one.

To OutLaw: If I would had been wearing that half helmet when I had my low sider at 15 MPH last month I would have had a fractured skull in stead of a slight concussion and black eye, as a result of that I have discarded my HJC CL 12 Full face that fit "comfortably" and got a Nolan N102 full face modular that fits the way a helmet should, snugly. I don't mean to preach to you but we kind of like to have you around to kick around

raycogxxx · 05-08-2007, 12:43 PM

JP & Outlaw- are those helmets DOT certified? If not why wear them-not flaming, just curious.

d_m50 · 05-08-2007, 01:36 PM

currently have the kbc airborne agv dragon and hjc cs12

i'm lookin at either a scorpion 400/700 with photochromic lens or akuma dragon w/ the sunshift lens.

Yes mine is DOT approved, its the smallest DOT approved helmet available... Got it at Daytonahelmets.com in case u were wondering

BlaznBlu · 05-08-2007, 05:46 PM

My helmet: Nolan N-102 modular

my girlfriends helmet: Scorpion Exo-400

outlaw · 05-08-2007, 07:08 PM

no mines not DOT approved. i know better than to wear it, but i accept the risk the same as someone accepting the risk of smoking or eating that fried food. i know it may not be the wisest of decisions and i know i have had many examples of why i should use a full face on this forum.

Model HJC CL-SP Barbwire Motorcycle Helmet MC-5F

profane · 05-08-2007, 10:26 PM

I don't use a dot either. I would rather nothing, but I would rather to not pay tickets also.

And yes I have slide across asphalt (for like 30-40 ft) and no it didnt change my mind.

Waltamighty · 05-10-2007, 06:47 PM
