Hahahahahaha

Ppl dnt seem to have much time for clothing

Anybody rate Carberg helmets?? I need a new 1 & was thinking Arai/Shoei...Dnt mind the cost at all cos u gotta have a proper helmet but i jus like the look of a certain Carberg helmet & it's got a sun-visor inside.

Any opinions??

I'd go for the Shoei their light, top quality and very good value for money ive got an Arai aswel its a nicer lookin lid and its great 4summer because of all the vents(which causes alot of wind noise) but in winter it gets very cold! I use my Shoei 99.9% of the time great lid's they are...... And Carberg

to ugly and heavy! The lighter the helmet the better you'd be suprised the difference it'l make on your neck

With the time of year i got an Arai (RX-7 GP) cos to be honest it looks like it's gonna be a warm one

When it gets cold i'm gonna see how the Arai holds up an look in2 the Shoei. Thanks 4 the info Yamahammer

Ive the Caberg Juttissimo GT, and the dropdown inner smoked visor is a lifesaver :D Yes its a little on the heavy side, but sure ive a thick neck anyway

Other than that i have to say im very happy with it, cost £180 up north in crossans

Don't think it will....oh btw any1 reading this bear in mind, i had an XL helmet cos i thought it was comfy but the guy measured me nut & it turns out i'm bang on a 58 Medium!!!! My helmet was way too big even tho it felt alrite tho after wearing the Arai proper fit the differance is huge!!

God yeah Bob always get your mallet measured, if its the wrong size it's nearly as bad not wearing a lid

......... Where did you buy the lid n was it expensive? oh never asked you which helmet you had b4?

I had a Nitro helmet & a G-Mac helmet....kinda middle of the road helmets. Got it in Redzone in Dublin for 600 euro.....in fairness i think it's a good place 2 go for gear as the chap in there seems to know his stuff.
