Very nice helmet... I've seen the helmet I want... just out of my price range right now!

Have fun wearing your new helmet :)

Taking that sticker off the visor before riding should improve things immeasurably!

Shame it's not a Shoei. Nice graphics but...

alarumba: The pennies were ugly and I had to, HAD TO you understand, get rid of them.

Jabez: Neither. Thrown out more like.

John: There's a Honda poster just above the HD one. Please wait 'til I get the helmet off before you stab.

R1AaronKDX: Nice to see you posting again and talking sense as well.

Zed: Thank you sir!

placidfemme: so many ways to take the last sentence, but I REALLY shouldn't go there. Bad Jim, bad.

Hitcher: Hah. Ha ha. Bah.

Biff: It's a Condor and it fits perfectly.

Niiiice. Also got a new helmet in Melbourne last week - AGV GP-Pro. $549 and got the OZ GST back too. Tried on Shoei, Arai, Shark but the AGV seemed to fit best.

Choice in OZ was almost overwhelming. Picked the brightest colour scheme too, for safety purposes. BugSplats bright helmet prompted me to go that way. You can see him for ages.

Nice helmet Jim2.

Some of you have seen my threads pointing to my new found desire to get an all purpose bike instead of a sportsbike for my next one.

Been worrying about finding a suitable helmet, fullface would look silly on a trail/adventure bike, dirt helmet would be cold noisey and I'd be worried about it on the open roads.

Then I came across this...

I chose a replica pattern from a rider from my yoof what I identify with, so some of the wee fellas on here will be thinking the same thing :) But different if you know what I mean.

I'd like to complain about the fact that it's bloody cold here.

Inlinefour - your prolific use of the 'Alert' icon appears to be influencing weather patterns. Cut it out. Everyone knows the thumbs up icon brings sunshine and scantily clad wimmin flocking to our streets.

I've been up Northland of the last several days and not logged onto KB what so ever. The weather still has been crap, although for one of those days it was 20 degrees. Now if I thought there was a chance of the thumbs up icon doind that, then I would. I just used the alert icon the first time here and have done it ever since. If someone feels the need to complain about it then that individual(s) must live a pretty boring life...
