I have a TC-5. I think it was the blue circular area in the back that made that Helmet look so classy to me.

They all look good. I haven't been a fan of the Shoei X-11s that have the large areas of white w, just a shape .

I have an Axis Yellow X-11, a Norick Red, X-11 ( w, the Feathers and Hyrogliphics ) looks three dimentional.

I have 4 RF-1000s . 1 Monza Red, a TC-5 Diabolic, a Buckmaster, and a Nerve in mostly Red.    Dolph
'08 Ducati 1098 R    '09 BMW K 1300 GT   '10 BMW S 1000 RR

I think this is kind of windscreen/ no windscreen kind of opinion, but I've always seen helmets with all the graphics to be gaudy and overdone.  Like mmakay said, from a distance it just looks like a big smudge.  A friend of mine had a cheapo HJC that was straight black and he put a couple of vinyl pinstripes on it (to match his bike color obviously  :) ) and it looked great. 

I think stuff like this goes so much better with the simplicity of the Monster ( minus the half face design, color scheme, and HUGE Suomy on the side, but you get the idea)



Bottom line though, just buy something that's gonna protect your noodle from  [bang]

And one hell of a disposable income.

Gotta admit the Camino is  very classy. I currently sport a Diobolic TC-5, 3 years, good fit, no problems. Draws a lot of comments from the laycrowd. Sure do like the Camino though.( kids come here, let dad show you how to bowl)

Ohh my, what have I done....

I think I've sparked an interest into pottery and gardening...



Something DoubleEagle is capable of... [cheeky]

Ok, well it's no surprise as to which one I will go for. The audience have cast their votes and the Camino ("the way" in Spanish.. I think) takes the overwhelming lead. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the path I will take. Thanks for chipping in. [beer]

I am also tempted to get the Diabolic TC-5 as well now that it's on sale, $75 cheaper [bang]

Is that another helmet on the right inside the purple plant?
