omfg, I peed myself a little

Let the court records indicate that @mimico_polak has given immunity to GG for all and future comments. I don't care what @GreyGhost says about you, you're an alright guy!

Ok, then. All charges dropped.

I regret to inform you that your post has been flagged for offensive content. However, I'll leave it up to @mimico_polak whether to press charges...

Lol. Like most GTAM threads the content has veered wildly off topic. F-n moderators on here not doing their jobs. Somebody up high needs to dock their pay!!!

Yes that would be an example of an egregious comfort issue causing safety concern. Venting that directs airflow to the eyeball would be another, in my own experience. Cheap plastic visors that scratch easily and put up distractions or aberrations directly in line with your vision as well. All...

Fair point. However it would have to be the most egregious of comfort issues to actually cause a true concern for safety. Like a visor that you have to struggle with to remain latched. Not a liner that is made of cloth and not fine Corinthian leather...

I haven't done any serious research on these, but if I ever do get back into track, the new Alpinestars Supertech R10 looks the absolute shiznit:

Full Stig or Go Home! Alpinestars, too... noice.

It's totally the weight distribution. Those Multis are relatively top-heavy and tippy, you can feel it just taking it off the sidestand. Or maybe it's because I am just a wimpy girly-mahn... "Vee ah going to pahmp your tires ahp!"

Here's one that's right up your alley, then: https://www.blackfootonline.ca/bmw-m-pro-race-carbon-helmet-triple-black disclaimer: I feel like I need to point out that I am being sarcastic and it's made in jest. I am totally poking the bear with this post to get a reaction, lest it becomes...

For sure. Who came up with that whole "change your lid every 5 years" suggestion? The helmet manufacturers... Ask a barber if you need a haircut, what's he gonna say?

I'm totally a sucker for good graphics too! Also, I'm a recent Arai convert. Wife used to own an RX-7 back in the day, but after I got my Corsair X and XD-5, I find the fit and finish is top notch. Very much an Arai-fanboy right now. The Schuberth is getting quite neglected in the display...

Haha, I feel your pain. I'm a short guy on a tall, heavy bike too. I'm all of 160 lbs with all my gear on and I look like a little kid when I'm pushing my bike around the garage and in parking lots. But I'm sure you'll agree that all that is worth it once your butt is on the seat and you're...

All your features are non-safety related: quiet, easy to control, comfortable, warmer, heated shield. So when you say your head is worth more than $200, it's more of a pamperin-your-noggin thing vs actual safety. A point was made a few posts above that if two helmets are both Snell or ECE...

I'm a bit of a helmet collector, so have owned many from different brands like Schuberth, Dainese, Shoei, Arai, Nexx, LS2, Klim, Shark, Zox Some of my personal observations: - Most of the money you spend on the helmet goes into non-safety related features, like quality of materials that touch...

We had a good discussion about this a while back: https://www.gtamotorcycle.com/xf/threads/helmet-life.225282/page-4#post-2911542

That's the rub. The marketing dollars to get a brand name recognized quickly push the retail price past $200 for a quality product that also passes all the Sharp and ECE tests so savvy-enough buyers would want to buy one.

Canadian Tire sells a whole bunch of helmets all around the $150-$200 price range: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/search-results.html?q=motorcycle+helmet
