I was looking at this lid at CG and the salesman told me that visor clip breaks all the time on them.  Has it happend at all to you?

my kbc broke the visor attachment from a three foot drop. Replaced the mountd for free but still.

SparX Corsa, very light and has European safety rating.  I like this better than my Suomy.

Nothing special...But I think it looks really good with my dark 696, so much nicer than my old HJC.




Here's the old HJC.

Ok ok, I wasn't going to play but I'm bored since my ride got rained out

Anyway, I've owned A LOT of helmets, the ones I still have are my faves. I have a few more than the ones pictured but I was too lazy to unearth them.

Shark RSR2 & Shark RSI -



The RSI is my everyday beater/commuter helmet. Both helmets are super plush, have amazing fog free visors, my only complaint is that they DO NOT vent well at all, while that's great for off season cold rides, it's not so great for the summer heat.


Shoei X11 (with my own custom stickers  ) & Suomy Spec 1R






The Shoei is my FAVORITE helmet hands down. Super easy visor changes, great aerodynamics, ,and most importantly, it vents air very very well. So much so that I can feel the air moving across my face, up my forehead, and over my scalp. No other helmet I've owned did that for me.

The Suomy is also great. It doesn't move air as well as the Shoei, but it's lighter which helps out my neck on all day rides. I just wish the visor was easier to change... not that it's hard but it's a PITA to have to pull off the side pods.


The newest latest... OGK FF5. Not available in this country (it's from Japan). It's super light, a bit too power ranger looking but whatever. My thoughts after only 1 ride? It moves a lot of air like the Shoei, the visors are very easy to change and the aerodynamics? The BEST. The Shoei and Suomy are both great in this regard when you're facing forward but when you turn your head to check for cars or when I turn 180° on the bike to look for my sweeping rider, I get headshake from the turbulence. With this OGK? None on that at all. The build quality is right up there with the X11 and the Arai RX7 to boot.
The previous OGK models (FF3, FF4) used to carry a DOT and a SNELL certification but this doesn't because they are no longer sold here in the States. I spoke to their Japanese distributor before buying the helmet and he told me that they can easily get a DOT and SNELL certification if enough interest was shown (they basically have to pay for the right to bear the stickers). As it stands, they carry the Japanese SG safety standard which is the highest in the world (DOT included), and is approved by the FIM. My new Fave apart from the looks? Maybe...




Then somewhere lurking in the back of my closet I have an AGV Stealth and X2R that I haven't worn in forever, and I also have a solid black Suomy Spec 1R that serves as my other beater. Too many helmets? Probably.

This is my new helmet Arai Profile I love it. It replaced a Arai Signet GTR.

April,

How does the SHark fit compared to the AGV? I currently have 2 AGVs (older base modelRossi replica, X-Vent Rossi Mugello 2001) and a GP Tech Rossi Dreamtime on the way. Butafter spending over $700 on a helmet, I am looking for something I feel a bit more comfortable wearing day to day. Hehe.

This is my Shark...


This is the AGV
