well...now i want it...

it's gonna cost and arm and a leg but i'm just not caring at the moment.  someone has it on ebay in the uk...like 500-550 US including shipping...

anyone think this is a bad idea...other than the whole DOT thing??

I've never fallen that much in love with a helmet.

Hey - I'll vinyl up a Scorpion, and you can send me the $550.   :mrgreen:

i know it's expensive but i LOVE it...good idea though...thanks RG

Well.......  As long as you KNOW it fits well...  It's your money. :dunno:  My sister went all out on some cool looking helmet.

I got a Scorpion...  In fact...  Roadstergal got the same damn one I have...  Same color and everything! :x

I hope it's not a large blue exo-400.  Or elae we'll have to start a club.

yah the shoei small seems to fit in all of the models round here....hmm...i so dam stubborn, i can't seem to get this one out of my mind..

has anyone here (from the states) bought anything in the UK online or w/e?  Is it a pretty painless or is there lots of hidden stuff?

it's birthday money...burning...oh yes it's burning a hole in my pocket...

The yellow Warhawk.  But you're right on the size - I think I have the only XS in the area.

you'd think all the net-seks you get on this forum would make your head bigger  :mrgreen:

Oh, it has.  You should have seen it beforehand.

Gratuitous pic.  My labmate calls me the Power Ranger.  The Burger isn't helping.

:thumb: Congrats on the Burgman.  You get your money's worth when you buy one of those things.  User friendly, more technology under the plastic than the Gixxer, and it's legitimate transportation not just a toy.  Pretty smart for an xs helmet wearer.  :P

:lol: :lol:

You look so goofy!

I'm gone for a week and you get rid of that beautiful bike for a scooter?

Did I come back to the right place? :dunno:

Have you thought about taking it on the road course?

Quote from: BlazinjrHave you thought about taking it on the road course?

I SO want to.

I dunno if they'll let me.

If you do I want to see pictures.

Nope...  Large Yellow exo-400 Warhawk:

Quote from: RoadstergalThe Burger isn't helping.

OMG that thing is UGLY!

I think I should get this:



For my wife...
:lol:

And wear your yellow Warhawk on it.   :thumb:

I was thinking about getting a full racing suit...  Race gloves...

Then trying to drag a knee on that...  49cc of RAW POWER!

THAT would rule!

No wait...   THIS is the setup for that thing...

That's cool.

Roadstergal looks like the future. I wanna see race pics of the 400, too.

Whenever I see anyone riding in assless chaps, I think about what their ass will look like after a spill.  Eeek.

well that killed the mental pic of your ass in those chaps.

Quote from: RoadstergalWhenever I see anyone riding in assless chaps

When I see a hot chick in assless chaps I think... DAMN I LOVE CHAPS!!!

When I see a dude in assless chaps I think...  Damn I HATE chaps!

From a male perspective that is not what we think about ;)

For whatever reason, before my eyes took in the entire picture, it sorta looked like you were doing a burnout.  On a scooter.  Who else votes for more coffee?

Semi-on topic total newb question: is there a "What helmet/gear do you wear?" thread?  I did some cursory searches, but I've not yet found such a thread...

Finally on-topic: that helmet is right freaky lookin'.  I think I'd rather have the face lookin at the person behind me, though, instead of the side; you know, the whole 'eyes in the back of the head' thing.

There is no single thread.  Do a search on each type of gear - a search on "jacket" will get you a million opinions on jackets, a search on "pants" will give you a million opinions on pants, etc.  But for everything, especially helmets, fit is the #1 concern. Find a local place and try stuff on.
