Goggle clip, dude, where's the goggle clip. That's all important. N those peaks would need to be removable, otherwise how d' y' LIFT the goggles?

I'm going to go to Motomail on Thursday evening and test-ride an HJC HQ-1 and the XR-1000 back to back. They're about the same price, so I'll buy whatever's nicest.

Do they let you test-ride them?? It's been a semi-regular concern of mine that one that fits nicely in the shop may be a right bastage on the road. I know Shoei advertise dealers that will let you have a road test, didn't know if anyone else did.....

In the meantime, Mully's spare helmet (a 'THH') is proving surprisingly pleasant.

Apart from the cooties (sp?)

Saw you leaving my building this morning (CPO) - you cycled away before I clicked (I'm legally retarded before my first coffee)

I've got a big chin. Haven't tried on a Shoei, but I know that my HJC FS-MAX (flip face) only just had enough room for my chin.

Nolan N103 - too small
Nolan N102 - too small
Schuberth C2 - too small

Shark Evoline - just right. Loving it so far.

Go HJC. Easy on the pocket and nothing wrong with them.

...however was too much for my modest pocket.

Too much for a Scotsman's pocket? The mind boggles!

Who sells Schuberths in Auckland?

Cycletreads.

...and it doesn't do the chime walk...

I think you mean chine walk?
Like a powerboat at speed?
