I'm not sure if it will like rice, it is British after all.
I'm surprised they aren't dead. Trying to steal somebody's motorcycle is just about the worst thing you can try to do to any group of motorcyclists.
Shopping for insurance, I realize exactly why helmet laws are a good thing. Payin' for squids is essentially what I'm doing.
Hey, better you buy that than me.
...the medium was waaay too loose around my cheeks.
...and they will replace the cheeck pads and that for me
The Arai didn't have replaceable cheek pads of different thicknesses?
When you're in the UK, you MUST get yourself a Triumph. You just have to. No way around it.
Heh, true!
To be brutally honest, i would absolutely adore an XR-1100, but I'm conflicted on them. For starters, they do feel different to the TZ-Rs (but not in a good way, if anything it is a bit tighter around my head than is comfortable for me), I'm worried about wind noise (my dad's 1000 is noisy to the point of him waering earplugs with it all the time now) and I just can't justify the cost when the TZ-R's are basically the same helmet sans some vents!
Which brings me to the big question- how is the venting with the TZ-R's? I am a bit worried now I think about it with the venting, as it is a pretty hot climate over here, and I don't want to be getting off the bike with my head (and hair) all gross and sweaty. My Nitro is good (too good actually, the damn vents don't close anymore!) with venting, so I'm used to decent ventilation. Worried that the lack of a rear vent may be an issue (if it is, I'll look into an 1100/an X-lite, as htey were the next best fitting brand for me)
And in my search read that people are thinking that they may be getting phased out- given that the Shoei website is only selling XS's in my style and hasn't re-stocked for ages, I'd say that there is a new version/type coming out soon. But that doesn't worry me
It's just funny how different brands fit everyone differently.
Or even the same brand! I had a Shoei that fit well and I bought a new one the same size without trying it on and they must have changed the shape because it cuts across my forehead.
