Shoei X12 ftw

The problem with the world today is that there is no one to eat the stupid people!

I love my Arai RX-7 Corsair, but it's a little knackered from my last get-off. I think I'm gonna try a Shoei Quest, which is reportedly the quietest helmet on the market. I have a Shoei RF-1000 that is a pretty good lid, but the Arai fits better.

For those of you who are interested, Competition Accessories is blowing out their stock of Scorpion helmets for way cheap.

I bought a Bell RS-1 and it fits excellent, nice & quiet, only weighs 3.8 oz and the optional transition shield is the best.....my 2 cents!

Get the ultralight Nexx x1r1 from competion accessories. Lightest lid. get it i smallest size that you can squeeze on your head. $600 you'll never want another lid. + you will get ~$30 toward next purchase from CompAcc.
