Mind if i ask where, im in the market for some new gears?

On the helmet front i just upgraded from an older model nitro to a Shoei XR-1000. I love it, lighter, quieter, better venting, nicer fit and most of all it looks sick. I got a plain white one to stand out a bit more and will make my own stickers with my vinyl cutter

I just got it from some European guy that had bought it along with a new SV and all the other gear and isn't riding now so he's selling it all. Not sure how much stores sell them for but the same looking suit only a one piece with the neck hump was something like 950 in stores...

My mates and I all use FFM flip-ups. Wearing glasses having a flip-up is marvellous, and it needs to be a little bit loose to be comfortable around the ears. I suspect my own helmet is too large now as it's quite loose. However you don't want to be uncomfortable.

The FFM is relatively noisy so I wear earplugs - but do that with any helmet anyway. The other trick is to use something like a whisper kit which fills in the space at the bottom of your helmet which is where a lot of noise is generated. Wrapping a scarf which fits up under the edge of the helmet does the job.

I have a Nolan flip-up helmet, Hate it, The noise it generates is not comfortable, and my head cooks, great combination.

Glad it didn't cost as I only "borrowed" it.

Tried on a few helmets but got a KBC. Felt like it fitted my whole head more firmly than the others that were either too loose or were only tight in very uncomfortable places. Got it for 350 i think. Wish I could go for a ride in it, but im too scared I'll wear out my tires too much for motott in jan
