Im actually looking for a good motorbike helmet atm. Any suggests on good makes, I obviously don't want a crap one!
Arai are supposed to be the best? They go to ridiculous money! What should I be spending for a decent helmet?
Oh and sorry for the threadjack, seems better than posting a new thread!  :laugh: :happy2:

This is the only helmet I own, but mine is matt black.  A must have accessory for snowboarding!  Didn't help when I broke my leg in March though.............. :laugh:;

C'mon Oli, we know that helmet is only for when you play with your kids on the beach or in the sandpit - It's written all over it  :grin:

Shark do some really nice lids and have a very good rep too, esp cos they tend to be very light. im gonna try some on again today, i seem to have an odd shaped head when it comes to helmet fitment. So far the Shoei XR1100 is the best fit for me but their designs suck balls, so im gonna play with some others and the pads inside to find a good fit in another brand

I was always told to buy the best you can afford with helmets, different makes are different shapes so you need to try as many as you can to find one that suits the shape of your head :happy2:      TC is gonna struggle :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
