Shark Review!!!

Shark Review!!!

I went for a 100 miles today wearing a great white shark strapped to my back today and I must say that it is very mean,heavy and viscious. I've owned all of the major species of sharks and the teeth mechanism is the sharpest hands down! Even a mako's can't compete! Because it has two sets of teeth when it bites you your arm pops off on it's own. The load also causes the flesh to "suck in" when the jaws are closed for an almost perfect seal, ripping your arm directly out of socket. Hydrodynamics are outstanding! At 150 mph,I could turn my head any direction I chose and it would attempt to decapitate me and swallow my skull. The coolest aero-trait was it didn't matter what angle it's fins were at,the shark still felt "heavy as fuck."

The negatives are as follows; smell could be better (but intimidating effect would suffer) and there are NO provisions for being out of water which made having to stop to pour bottled water on it every 10 miles or so a fucking pain! A weird complaint I have is the placement of the eyes . They're always looking right at my Adam's apple and they haunt my dreams.

Exterior color and interior flesh is what you would expect from a king of the ocean. Excellent! I anticipate the arrival of my blood transfusions and prosthetic limbs on thursday!

hahaha. I've picked up a baby horse before and I can easily pick up fatass friends in the 300 pound neighborhood but a shark might take some serious roidage.

I may buy this lid...$200 shipped.

That actually looks pretty baller. I can't find shark helmets at my local Honda/kawasaki/suzuki dealer or the vulcan/yamaha/ktm dealer. All I need to do is try a couple on to see if they fit my head and find the right size but no dice.

[Mr Lefty]

I think I may try to contact my friends at Alaska Leather... if they can order the helmet.. the can have it shipped to me... if I don't like the fit... I ship it back to them and I'm only out the cost of shipping...

might be worth it.... then again... Tigger's prices are pretty bad ass...


Piz what do you wear now... brand and style?

I tried on a Scorpion EXO1000 recently...nice lid...but not even in the same league as my Suomy. Not nearly comfortable enough.

Crappy base model HJC XL. Don't even know the model name it's like 4 years old, I seriously need to upgrade.
I've always wanted this simpson outlaw helmet but it's too damned expensive and no way to try it on before buying.

I've also wanted this convertible Givi lid for a while but it's hard to get in the states. Probably the most innovative helmet on the market today.
