Re: helment

I got a Shoei X-11 last year. It has the best venting of any helmet I've ever had. I like it a lot.

Re: helment

I have a Scorpion EXO-700 cost $199 last year, replaced my Arai Signet which was my second Arai helmet. I really like it, very comfortable and the no fog shield works very well.

Re: helment

HJC makes a good helmet. I would not be alive right now if I didn't have mine on last September. It has the gouges in it to prove it. That being said, I now am wearing a Shoei.

Re: helment

I think you'll like the EXO700 especially after you break in the liner ( takes a few weeks of riding every day). My head got fatter so now i need an XXL instead of XL lol. haha.

Scorpion also has different tinted face shields and liners available. If you have a L,XL, or XXL the shell ( I believe) is the same size and you can install a L,XL, XXL liner into it. Double check that info with Scorpion first before buying any replacement liner.

Why do i feel so compelled to post in every thread? LOL. I'll have to watch that from now on.

Oh no you don't want the Helmet they're no good it's definitely the Helment you want. (I would never have noticed if you hadn't asked)
