Started with some HJC that did not fit well at all. Took it back to the store after finding a JMax GM68 that is okay. I have some serious fogging problems, but I have not really done anything to try and stop it. Fits well, and most importantly the price was right :icon_mrgreen:.

This is an arai, don't remember what kind but it's at least 7 years old now. It's in line to be replaced this spring. Spray painted after seeing the KBC with the star on the side I really liked.





Looking to pick up a new street helmet with the built in drop down sun visor, and also looking to get one of those dual sport/MX helmets with the flip up visor as well.

ICON ALLIANCE TYRANNY with a aftermarket light-smoke visor

Photo a took a while ago; not up close so probably best using the images from the ICON website I posted above.

Shark RSX

Got one from old stock, 2004, for $175
One of the fews helmets to have a green impact result on all areas in the sharp tests. Awesome ventilation, THICK shield with anti-fog treament that works really well and is infinitely adjustable.

My Helmet with weekend visor on it. Clear visor for week day riding. Cannot find my other helmet it has vanished.

I rock a Shoei RF-1000 did a write up in the wiki about it. Not a good pic. Almost time for replacement. Would like to get a modular but don't know if my arthritic neck could handle the extra weight.

Plain white (cheaper) Shoei Tz-1 or Qwest; I like the Tz-1 better, but it's 10 years old.  White reflective stickers (the gray dots on the helmet in the avatar).
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Solid white HCJ IS-16. Very comfortable, well vented.

I got ripped-off by the stealership for this one but it is great.  Great venting and a breath guard to go with the flip down shades (fighter pilot anyone? :thumb:)





My passenger helmet is a G-max GM58
I have had nothing but compliments about the fit and features.  It passes DOT and Snell.  $50 on sale from Bikebandit.com!!!

Now all you need is this visor lol -

Shoei RF-1000 for normal use.


Bell custom 500 for around campus rides.  Goes well enough with my blue/silver gs500e.

A little road noise, but I can't complain for the price. Flat black with a removable liner and good ventilation for 75 bucks.   
Bikes don't leak oil, they mark their territory.

Same here, except it's silver.
I like it so far - ventilation should be better though IMO.
Only real downside is I can only use it closed - mine is only homologated as a full-face and I could be fined if caught with chin piece up by LEOs. Recent examples have dual homologation. :dunno_black:

Scorpion Exo-400


ICON Airframe Death or Glory


Pretty much wear the Scorpion anywhere, I don't mind strapping it under the seat since it was only $65. I only really wear the Icon on group rides or when I don't plan on stopping for more than a smoke. Kind of a pain in the ass carrying a helmet with you everywhere.

This is my first helmet (only been riding for a week).  Ventilation's not the greatest, but it was a good price for a modular.

My ride:
2009 GS500F stock....for now.
