Refinerydog@ MUSTREMOVETHISANDSPACES sbcglobal.net (RefineryDog) Shoei Multitec - expensive - but the best helmet I have ever owned - I love mine. Good fit, solid construction, venting for hot Texas summer is just OK but the whole front of th helmet locks up and let's you get a 3/4 hlmet breeze any time you want and at any speed without vibrating like opening the vior will do. It will be a lot cooler than the one you have now - I have one of them also. (David) Nice comments. David, we wish you would talk a little more on here. Let us know a little bit about your self, atleast what region of Texas you reside. and....what cha' ride. over? bjay. B. Jay Kana-- NETexas 02 Valkyrie Cruiser-- ( happy trails to you all)

Currently, I have a Shoei RF800, that looks a lot like this one, only solid white: http://www.motorcyclestop.com/shoei_scepter_tc4.jpg So, I was interested in any casual helmet comments that anyone cared to offer, regarding what they're wearing, how well it's liked, etc.... I plan to stay with a full face design, but would like to hear any experiences with the new flip up chin piece models. TIA, for your opinions.

But, I will certainly include it in my review.- Hide quoted text - Heres what Redshad said: Did you buy the Nolan yet? Thats the one you want. Redshad WTF...who you responding to. (joshing) B.

Heres what Redshad said: WTF...Whos in the market for a new helmet? Thats probably who since I asked if he bought a Nolan yet...lol. Redshad
No.... I haven't bought anything yet, but whatever I do decide to buy, it must be in a local inventory(i.e. no int- ernet sales, because of fitting). But when I find one I want(including your Nolan recom- mendation) I'll let you know. Thanks.
I do think the recommendation is to replace a helmet that's been bumped, significantly. I guess the major issue is in determining what constitutes "significant". Years ago(probably near 30), I had stopped at a Jack-in- the-Box for something to eat. I was riding one of those Kawasaki two stroke triples. I removed my 3/4 helmet, and hung it on a mirror. For whatever reason, the helmet toppled off the mirror and onto the asphalt, about 3 feet below. When it hit the ground it made a very hollow sound. I picked up the helmet, and it had split right down the middle, longitudinally. I'd say - pretty skimpy protection.
No.... I haven't bought anything yet, but whatever I do Be sure also to get the color to match your future Goldwing...you know you want one..lol. Redshad
Redshad tries to help Bj: ''Bj..Dont be letting Honey J tell you what your going to ride or buy. You tell her what you are going to buy and ride..WTF. Kick her ass man..your a biker. Next you will be telling us she lays out your clothes on the bed for you and runs your bath water...WTF....Lmaoooo. Redshad-- You are so funny. LMAO B.

Gary tells this story: ''When it hit the ground it made a very hollow sound. I picked up the helmet, and it had split right down the middle, longitudinally. I'd say - pretty skimpy protection. W' hail yes, I'd say sure 'nuff, 30 years ago. Crap, those old helmets were about as good as a FB helmet, in fact they sorta reminded me of a FB Helmet, didnt they to you??? <g> B. Jay Kana-- NETexas 02 Valkyrie Cruiser-- ( happy trails to you all)
I only want a white helmet, and I don't think they make white GoldWings. But, let me go check, wait a minute... OK, I'm back.... No, I was wrong. Honda has a Pearl White GoldWing. Well hell, I guess it's gonna' have to be a package deal then. <g> Wait a minute, let me clarify that.... For some reason, Honda has the site reflecting '08 model GW's, as well as '07. It's the '08 model that offers white. Specifically, the '07 colors were: Black, Silver, Orange, Red, and Blue. The '08 colors are: Black, Titanium(aka Silver), White, Red, and Red. Beyond the colors, I wonder what the difference(es) are between the '07 and '08? Maybe Honda's been reading tx.moto, and caught on to all my whining about the head wiggle. Maybe, they rushed out the '08 with the wiggle removed!

AH.................................... he wasn't talking about you was he BJ? -- Ed Hart The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive. --Brian, the Bird Biker says: Gary--''Oh, and getting excited and dropping your motorcycle is just a sideline issue....just ask the =other resident= 'motorcycle dropper' of this group! But, by the way he tells it, he "kicked his motorcycle over". I guess in some haste to whoop up on some 70+ year old man with a mean $20,000 "bitch slap".....even though after he "kicked his motorcycle over", he took off trying to run in the opposite direction. He wouldn't even ride that banged up shithead motorcycle back up the road until a bunch of others got in front....mostly the preacher dude. This was so the preacher dude could pray some more to keep the pussies behind him safe, I guess. ----Ol Bowie county (with an observation, says --Well, Brian you're =trying= to get something interesting going here with your reminiscence of the old Breckenridge summer saga, of 2003. <g> Even though it is, actually on topic, to an extent, and casually fits right in on Gary's Thread topic about Helmets. I do these same thangs all the time. (you know I do do) Someone, needs to stur up, this group, while the main two renegade, highjacking trouble makers, are out west. However; I'm not sure who the other ''Bike Dropper'' is on our great gallent group of gabblers, here, other than gary???? (teasing ya', Gary) You said ''resident motorcycle dropper''? Brian, the resident reference, caused me to ruminate, or, let me say, it somewhat threw me. (chuckle) B. Jay Kana-- NETexas 02 Valkyrie Cruiser-- ( happy trails to you all)

Big Ol Ed says: ''AH.................................... he wasn't talking about you was he BJ? about the topic of dropping motorcycles, I answer this way...''hail' no''. that's why I lowered the mighty Valk, so I could keep that big dude straight up.
