Clear Shoei (UK spec) visors - any recommendations on where to buy?

Blimey, that's more recently than I expected.

I'd left my Shoei at a mates and didn't have anything else to wear. I
must have looked pretty daft on my Firestorm wearing it. The Simpson
RX-1 Bandit is fucking useless as a road helmet.

Lozzo · May 9, 2005

Bear says...

I've heard so many users say that ... is the implication that it's good
as a race helmet, then?

I don't race, so I couldn't tell you.

Well what *is* it good for, apart from looking gay in?

All the pose if you had an tricked up LC or RD back in the mid 80s.
They looked pretty cool if you had an early Gixer 750 too.

Futher anecdotal evicence:
I bought bought two CX1 visors, one black, one clear, from
them along with a pinlock reactive insert, fot the clear visor.
What arrived was two CX1 visors and a pinlock insert for an Arai.

Couldn't be arsed to go through the rigmarole of getting it
replaced so I simply sent them a message saying I wouldn't
be using them again (unanswered).

The insert does fit the CX1 visor, it just has a couple
of cut-outs where the vents on an Arai visor are. I fitted
it anyway.

I was 17, and knew no better ... remind us again how old you were in
1998?
Click to expand...

You spoiling for a fight again?

I was 23 when I bought the lid and 36 when I used it in an emergency in
1998

Lozzo · May 9, 2005

Bear says...

23 is way too old to not know better ... or were you experimenting with
your sexuality?

Bear in mind that at the time I was recovering from a severe accident
that gave me head damage.

Now you see? You could simply have said that to start with and I'd have

But I still like it, despite your nonsensical claims that it looks gay.

Well that's all that matters, then. If you like it, who cares if others
mock and deride you.

ITYM attempt to mock and deride.

Bear says...

No, really, put the thing on and look at yourself. Post a pic if you
feel like it.

Talking about sticking with very gay looking 80s things, haven't you
only recently had a certain thing snipped from your bonce.

People in glasshouses etc etc.

<tentatively raises hand>
I wouldn't. I had one I bought secondhand from a rally driving
mate back in the mid eighties. I still like them and would still
wear one, 'specially if I had an elsie or an original gixer 750.
Jeans, Doc martins and a bomber jacket too. )

Fair play! Hardly in the same league as a Simpson Bandit.
Click to expand...

No, I rate it as far far worse. You wore it every day for all that
time. I only used the Simpson occasionally.

Go on, take a pic and post it on the pixie site ... you never know,
people might, as one, say "look at Lozzo! He's our style guru!"
Click to expand...

I may well do this, we can invite the rest of ukrm to vote on what's
gayest, me in a Simpson Bandit, or you with a ponytail?

Lozzo · May 10, 2005

Bear says...

heh. The Full Monty retro look, in all its glory.

ISTR a lot of Streetfighter pilots going for them too, more recently.
Click to expand...

They must all be gay then. Want a lift to a Streetfighters gig so you
can tell them all in person?

I was being serious. It was you took comedy to new levels by keeping it
for so long.

Well that's a no-brainer, everyone will back you because you're loved as
a National Treasure, but post the pic anyway, it'll be fun.

So you concede defeat already? I guessed that might happen. I hardly
count as a National Treasure, being as I'm not entirely of this great
nation of yours.

I certainly agree with Alex that they're definitely part of that
"uniform" the LC and gixer boys had. I'd actually forgotten about the
Doc Martens too.
Click to expand...

I still have a complete LC-boy 'uniform'. Black MA1 jacket, knackered
Levis and Docs, with a football scarf to be used tied to others to make
a frequently needed tow-rope.

Lozzo · May 10, 2005

Bear says...

heh. Have you been drinking?
Click to expand...

You should know me better, It's a school night.

The thing is I just *know* you'd stitch me up. You're a fine individual,
but I don't trust you an inch in these circumstances ... I'd want the
pics approved as a reasonable likeness by an independent party like Pip.
Mined ewe he'd probably tuck me up even more
Click to expand...

I'm sure that as a well respected member of the ukrm community, Pip
would be a very fair independent party
