• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Something new in helmets!

I found it online


They have French, British, and Italian websites, but not an American site.

List price is 749 Euros, or about US $880.
 
I like it!

One thing though, in the article they speak of the ease of removing the helmet in the event of a crash. I can see how much easier it would be to remove the helmet and perhaps save the poor guy's neck. BUT, imagine you're a first responder and you've never seen a helmet like this before. You reach down to cut the helmet's strap so that you can get the helmet off. But wait, where's the strap? How do I get this off?

Troubles brewing.
 
I really like the idea. If the face shield flips up, that would solve the opening problem for me. Looks like carbon fiber, so should be light.
 
This helmet does not pique my interest. It looks like the face shield does not open and I like the security of a chin strap. Plus I prefer a modular helmet.
