we see threads on show us your wheels and show us your engines but we dont see any helmet threads
with the things about helmets needing to be car aproved (yea i know nobodys ever seen checks take place) and the fact i kart semi regular i thought today id treat myself

tear offs are great! but its a big no no for bikers on the road.

its mental, soo reflective! its unreal. i dont ride round much with my visor down as i have an internal visor which flips down from inside which is smoked and meets road legal requirements.
but this thing, like i said if the sun as much goes behind a cloud of i end up in even shadows i cant see fuck all! other downside is, you cant see oil / fuel spills on the floor!
but the contrast is makes are amazing! a real must for good, distinct vision! iridium ftw!

Arai RX-7 Corsair's. Get them for free and they're a decent helmet.
Got an Arai 'Aprilia racing' edition aswell from when I used to ride Aprilia's.
Couple of Caberg V2R's aswell which I use on the road, as they have the double visor..One that flips down inside to act as a tinted visor. Uber comfy.
