The next best thing to a new bike....a new helmet!

[Max Wedge]

A birthday present from my wife, my color too (although I know some people on this board won't ride with people who wear this color).  I don't just wear hi-vis 'cause I look sexy in it, but what can I say?  



BTW, on clearance at Revzilla, really good price.

Just got a new helmet myself.  Vemar?--never heard of 'em, but it turns out they're one of the largest helmet makers in Europe.  MotorcycleGear.com had a deal on the Eclipse, I read this review, and now I own one, in solid white.  Seems like a very well-made, solid helmet, the fit is great, we'll see this summer how well it is on the road.  (Sorry, no pics of the new lid yet...)

Ahhhh -- that new helmet smell!

I saw that on closeout a number of places.  Love the yellow and black.

There are so many different helmet name brands for so many different markets, I wonder how many are actually just made by the same company and rebranded for different regions? Or even just rebranded with different names to create a different perception about a brand. I know that I had an "Xpeed" branded helmet, made by a company called J-Tech, which also made helmets for Icon.

Yes, true.  More of a problem with the lower priced segment of the market, though--I doubt Arai and Shoei outsource their helmets, and apparently my Vemar was made in their facility in Italy.  However, with brand names like "Xpeed," or "J-Tech," who knows?

Nice.  Loud helmets save lives.

Jumping on the new helmet bandwagon.  I just picked up my new Shoei Hornett DS.  I think I tried on every other dual sport helmet made, but thi$ was the only one that fit.


Cheapest colour.  Gloss Black.  I'm not into hi-vis

Depending where your riding you wouldn't want the hunters to see you.

I don't see anything wrong with the color.    Maybe because I have two like it.
