That is a nice lid you have there Kees!

Mine is a little older. Shoei RF-1000, TC-5 Diabolic. Fits my head well and allows for glasses.

This is my replacement after getting hit a couple years ago. You can actually set it in my Avatar pick if you look closely.

Wow, lots of beautiful helmets! I love the classic colours and patterns! I'm not a fan of screaming colours.

When i was 18 i bought this Clay Regazzoni JEB's helmet....

I did it away (don't know how, but I might have just thrown it in the trashcan...) when I stopped riding a motorbike when I was 23..... Stupid fool that I was.... It's now a collectors item! ::010::

There is a auction where they ask US$ 2000-6000 for it..... ::009::

Im a big Formula 1 fan.. Have watched it for 20 years. Ive come across a few F1 helmets that are real and have been on drivers heads racing around the world and they where for sale.... Most of them go for $3000 - 15000 US..... To rich for me. :(

If you ever come to Europe and have time, let's go to Spa Francorchamps and The Isle of man. There is a very nice hotel very close to the Spa circuit (it's almots ON the circuit) where thet have various F1 helmets on display.

I stayed there last July to watch the Bikers Classics racing.



The hotel lobby:

I'm currently wearing a Scorpion exo-700. Comfortable and inexpensive. I'm thinking of going to the shark modular next, the scorpion modular was super uncomfortable. BTW that isle of man helmet is sweet.

The plain white Shoei Qwest that is in my avatar.
With the chin curtain it is easily the quietest and most comfortable helmet that I've ever used.

I present to you Mrs. Arai Rx-7 Corsair Nakano.



HJC IS Multi.This one is brand new. No comments so far, cou i only took it for a test around the block. It's a perfect match with my snowflake. This is to replace my jet helmet for commmuting in colder weather. Maybe even something more. Will see.




My daily commuting helmet. Nolan N31 Moto GP. Outstanding Jet helmet. Superb while commuting with temperatures reaching 38deg C.


One more on the way...Bell Revolver.
White,Black or Black Matt...dunno.

Recently purchased an Arai Signet-Q, Pearl Black. Seems to fit well though is noisier than I would have guessed.

Arai's customer service is top notch. The Arai techs will be looking at it at the Long Beach motorcycle show. This communication took only two days.
