cool2.gif Helmets ,how do you know you have chosen the right one?
I have just got myself a Nolan N61 (olive) after trying on about 15 different others. My reason for chosing it were:-

1. It just felt right.
2. Its a full face rather than a flip-up.
3. Quick release visor and lock
4. The vents actually work plus its got the nolan anti-fogging system.
5. Its blue so it keeps the boss happy.
6. Graphics are my star sign.
7. It was reasonably priced.

bowdown.gif devil1.gif advice "Nolans are sh!te" and I might find his words of wisdom are true but after trying on AGV, HJC, Takai, and various others around the 80 - 150 quid mark this one was most comfortable. Will let you know how it fairs.

Mally-i was only winding you up m8.
its down to choice really, do you want a plastic or fibreglass/carbon lid?
how much can you spend?
the important thing is the fit, a £50 lid that fits properly will be much better than a £400 lid that doesnt.
bear in mind most vents are only for show & make the helmet noisier.
you made your choice wisely & if you're happy with it in 2 weeks time then you made the right choice.
its a bit of a lottery cos you can hardly take a lid for a test ride(i dont think you can up the Hill)

you going to the NAM xmas bash?

It was this very reason that Arai stopped all sales of their lids online. They didn't want ot be responsible for anyone getting hurt due to an incorrect fitting lid. I am not 100% sure but I think Shoei have or are going the same way.

I could have been me. blush21.gif

I was changing the avatar settings earlier to allow bigger images. Might have been something to do with the changes.

Will it work on my wife ??? lbhh.gif

I do have something you could try.

The wife asked me, if there was any way to make her paps bigger.

I said to her, 'Rub a bit of toilet roll between your breast every day'.

She said, 'How will that make any difference'.



















I said, 'Well it worked on your arris'. :tounge:
