With Black Col we know where we stand, none of this colour matching nonsense. Just buy everything Black

Blue and white helmet clearly very special and rare unlike common black ones !  :)


Notty dont you have a wedding to get ready for instead of upsetting those that prefer black....... Harry obviously likes a splash of black  :onya:
I cry at weddings - at least I did at my own (may have been the father in law's shotgun in my ribs) as a celebration of todays royal wedding I am going out on the 14 until its over so won't get too upset !! :)

I'm with you on that one. 350kms with the new lid instead of a wedding.

Wasn't sure about these "pilot visors" but what a revalation! No more sunglasses in the helmet. :)
If you are going to run out of fuel, do it in your garage.

It's only a short walk to the kettle.

i wear glasses and have a Shuberth C3 pro and so internal sun visor is brilliant as photochromic don't work with the helmet on - sunglasses mean if it goes dark your f**ked - happy days :)

I know the problem with lids. I am currently breaking in a new Nolan N87. It's taken me about 2 months to find a good fit, as I am a 3XL in some makes (maybe 2XL in others). This means there aren't many shops that I can go to because they tend not to keep the biggest ones in stock. No demand for them sir.

So eventually I did a 3 hour drive to Sportsbikeshop near Lincoln. I can't recommend those guys highly enough, they have an absolutely huge warehouse with everything in stock. I've never beat their prices and they are a pleasure to deal with.

In an ideal world I'd like an Arai, but nobody in the UK has them in anything above XL. Perhaps next time I'm in America I will pick one up.

My missus is a fan of the royals so she went off to watch it on telly with some mates while I got the 14 ready for my road trip next week. Once again this site comes up trumps, I did the brake disc bobbin clean thing (among other little jobs).

3XL!!!  I think we'll need to start calling you 'Big Bonce'.   :rofl2:

Bought mine (Hjc) from Sports bike shop, highly recommend them.  5* rated,  comfy, built in sun visor,  Colour match was a consideration!
Started out with nothing, still got most of it left.

I bought an Hjc cinatti 5* rated with built in sun visor & yes the colour was a consideration!
