    My AC 10 is good for 270kph, is it too big, maybe look at a smaller size?

    My main road race helmet is a Suomy Spec 1 R. Top model for the Suomy range I think. Costs quite a bit but money well spent due to high comfert level, light weight and being very quiet.

    My spare road race helmet or wet race helmet is a HJC CL10 (I think). Just a cheapie but very practical and has saved my head more times than I can remember.

    My Supermoto/Offroad helmet is a Fly FL-303. Not the flashes of it's kind but it does the job very well. Good ventilation and reasonable weight.

    My road riding helmets are also HJC ones, some CL10s and some the next model up. Agian, I'd say that HJC are probably the best value for money helmets out there!

    Bought a Zeus flipfront for $240. It;s okay but I wear earplugs with it and it's a wee bit heavy compared with more expensive brands, but much better than my (very) old previous full face. Hope to get a better one soon, but the Zeus is not bad.

    Arai Astro-R, comfy and really quiet. Best vent system I've ever had on a helmet aswell

    I have a Purple Helmet. It is really comfortable.

    Would you like to sit on it?

    Winter is coming, you'd better get that sorted quick smart! I've also got a CL-14 in black, man i wore it the other day and by the end of the ride i was crying for my Shoei back!

    Are you coming to the stunt day in April dude, found a place to stay?

    I have a Nitro N510V. The mechanism to change visors isn't too good. Doesn't work too well so I tend to try not change them very often, although I do have a clear and a tinted visor.

    A bit noisy but fits my small head well.

    Are there any legal problems in NZ with black/tint/mirror/Iridium visors?

    Not so far , only issue has been with cars with tinted windows , your allowed 35 % max.

    I ran a dark visor 6-9 months of the year , saves the need for sunglasses.

    Shark RSX Oxidium - Blue

    Here's the helmet I wrote off last weekend at Manfield.

    This Helmet did a fantastic job, for those that don't know..... I highsided somewhere between 90-110kph and landed head first on the track.
    1 week later, I have no sign of any injury or even bruise, thanks to a compilation of good riding gear. I highly rate these helmets.
