i've got i think 10 helmets, but the one i wear the most and probably like the best is My Shoei X-11, what about you?

MikeSP1 01-07-2009 01:25 PM

Shark RSR2

neebelung 01-07-2009 01:40 PM

Arai RX7 Corsair -- the Haga replica.

I love it. It's a fabulous helmet. But truth me told, if it hadn't been a gift, I probably might not have spent THAT much on it. I'm looking for another helmet now (just to be able to switch back and forth) and I'm looking at Scorpions, and Sharks.

Ninjakel 01-07-2009 01:40 PM

I switch between my Shark and my Arai, but I also have an HJC that I use as a backup helmet

CrazyKell 01-07-2009 01:42 PM

Hjc

lauralynne 01-07-2009 01:44 PM

Arai only here. Price is right ;)

Rider 01-07-2009 01:49 PM

Shoei.

I have 2 of them. 1 is damaged from a wreck and the other is for sale.

smileyman 01-07-2009 01:53 PM

Shoei, KBC. I have worn alot of helmets and Shoei fits me best.

Fulmer - 1
Bell - 2
Arai - 2
Shoei - 2

One shoei RF1000
One Arai rx7rr

I like the Arai better

Corey 01-07-2009 02:09 PM

I haven't been able to ride in a while, but I still have my ancient Shoei RF800 that I use on very rare occassions that I can steal a ride. One of these days I'll upgrade to something far more current.

And as mostly useless as it is, I would totally rock a Davida Classic (union jack graphics or black with a checkered racing stripe) with some aviator goggles on occasion if I had the money to piss away.

my primary is an HJC CL-Max

I use it all year since I picked up a breath box and winter shield and use it for snowmobiling as well as for the bike in the summer.

Shoei RF1000 Diabolic 3 "Heaven N Hell"

Love it.

For those with 3 (or 10, Yammer :lol:) helmets, why so many? Are you counting old retired ones?

marko138 01-07-2009 04:46 PM

I will only wear Suomy. This is my 2nd. Their graphics are second to none and they are super comfortable.

i just seem to hang onto em, here's a pic, the 2 arai's arent mine, the other 8 are mine and i have 2 retired*crashed* ones hanging in the garage

Phenix_Rider 01-07-2009 08:15 PM

RF-1000.

Probably pick up another, since I'm seeing such good deals. I've been looking at other lids, but nothing else is as right.

GMAX GM58S

A relatively unknown helmet brand. The padding and protection is excellent... a little on the heavy side compared to my buddies HJC. But for a $99 helmet, the padding design and technology are better than that of an HJC of twice the price. So nice that my buddy with an HJC and Shoei said "Holy fuck this is nice, how mcuh did you pay" when he looked it over....

What looks like all grey in the pic is actually metallic silver. The silver really shines like crazy in the sun....

Street i wear a Z1R helmet and i HATE IT! ! ! it fits fucking WEIRD! ! !

Dirt i wear a Vega*i know Crappy* but i LOVE it, and i kept my head from getting cracked open, so im happy



Once i get a job my street helmet will be a Shoei. . . .All dad used to wear when he raced dirt track:whistle:

racedoll 01-07-2009 09:45 PM

Track - HJC
Street - Suomy Vandal, Bayliss Replica

I like both of them. I have to say the Suomy is my favorite because of the paint scheme and that it's a replica. It fits nice too, another reason I got it. And the price was right.

My first helmet was a GMAX. I paid like maybe 60 bucks for it. But it got the job done. Visor fogged like crazy.

That makes more sense, since they seem to cover a few model years. When someone says they have 10 helmets, I picture a rack full of current $350+ Shoei/Arai helmets. :lol:

I have an old crashed Shoei RF800, but don't count that in the list of helmets I wear because... well, I don't wear it any more.

Tools always seem to multiply, be they functional items forged from steel and other metals, or useless bags of flesh.

Icon Decay here. Most people wouldn't like it but I enjoy it.

It is my first helmet so I know I will try other helmets with time. Both of the helmets I had gotten before were hand me downs and so my experience with this one has been great. It is a bit big and bulky, but I enjoy the rubatone finish and graphics.

How did you like the Arai? What do you intend to get next just curious?

Mr Lefty 01-10-2009 12:26 AM

I love it... I had a large helmet... and it felt a little loose.... so I got a set of medium cheek pads and it fit perfect...

I do wanna go with a shark though next.

tached1000rr 01-10-2009 12:35 AM

I'm favoring Shark as my next helmet as well....

I need to find a place to try one on.

How did they fit, and what changed? I've always read pretty good reviews of their helmets and have always been interested, but I've never seen them at any of the dealerships. Do they fit like a Shoei or an Arai?

Homeslice 01-14-2009 09:35 PM

The new FF5 has like an Arai Quantum fit.

I had an OGK a long time ago,I bought a FF3 and a FM helmet from DEX products outside of London,England. Price was good but the shipping! Anyway,I ran across this site a few months ago,I don't know if it's still good but here ya go.
