What is favorite helmet and why?

I wear a Bell Revolver in Hi-Vis yellow. It's a modular and it's been awesome.

 

I have a scorpion now, but after my MSF class, the guy kept slamming home that you need to spend 600 on a helmet. Arai to be exact. Almost like the dude worked for Arai. Anyways, with that said, I'm gonna stick with my scorpion for the rest of the season, (bike is always down for 'new owner' maintenance. This upcoming season, maybe in the winter actually when stuff is on sale, I think I'm gonna grab a Shoei Qwest. Great review and the guy at the yamaha shop said they have similar protection as the Arai... Those arai's are nice, but the cheapest I could find is 599!!

 

I wear a gmax gm67s. The 3/4 visor style is nice when your face gets hot, has sunglasses that pop down behind the visor. Fairly lightweight and good at high speeds with wind noise. Also has a couple cool features like a beak you can switch for the visor, as well as a wireless kit you can get which syncs a red light on the back with your brakes. It was 100$ with tax.

 

After receiving two catalogs from cycle gear telling me about the new store open in Harrisburg, I rode up there today with a buddy.
Nice store...smaller than I imagined, but packed with merchandise! Very friendly and helpful staff and it was nice being able to sample all the gear.

Anyway...I was in the market for a helmet since mine was 4 yrs old and flat black. Being that my bike is black, both my mesh jacket and my leather jacket are black (both have reflective piping), and my riding pants are black...I realized I wasn't doing myself any favors to being visible.

Anyway... I got this Bilt Apollo modular helmet in Day-glo yellow

I like it so far...has all the options I wanted at a price I can afford. Plus it has a five year warranty on it so if something breaks I can take it to any cycle gear and get it replaced!!
If it gets me noticed by just one more idiot driver...it could save my life!

 

Almost everyone in my area I ride with got a Gmax GM54 modular Helmet.

They are $179 at the shop. They go in and try them on and order them from Competition Accessories on the internet. There $128 shipped.

It's a full face that flips into a open face. When you stop and talk, you just flip up the front. Get a drink, just flip up the front. You can even ride with it up.

The cool thing is it has a sun visor that you push a lever on top and it comes down. It goes back inside the helmet.

I was surprised at how cool it was. After more and more got these, I realized how awesome a Helmet it is.
Here is a link with a video.

Gmax Modluar Helmet

 

I have one with the flip down sunshade. I forget the brand. It fits nice, is quiet and looks good. Flat black of course.

I have very limited selection in helmets as I wear a size 8 hat. Most manufacturers don't go that big.

 

I was in there saturday. nice place HUGE selection for a fairly small store. I tried on the Bilt Kevlar Jeans.... I think i might pick a pair up sometime. I have been looking at others, and I definitely can't swing the price on the others. Some of the reviews are kinda harsh, but IMO some extra padding is better than none...

Scorpion EXO 400 here, skull bucket. Had to have it.

 

This is my helmet. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My helmet is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My helmet, without me, it's useless. Without my helmet, I am useless. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, I will keep my helmet clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will... Before God, I swear this creed. My helmet and I are the defenders of my head. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.

 

HooRa.
