• 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.

SURVEY...WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED...

count my head...

as one. I definitely want to see it closer. I've been looking at the new Shoei Multitec. My SO just got a new multitec and loves it. Says it is more definitely comfortable than the HJC and Scorpion full face she has been using. And she also has the new Russel touring seat. I never get anything. She always gets everything... I'm going to take my ball and go home.:roflblack::ohyea:

Sorry to hear that as singular . . .
 
interesting, BUT . . . . . .

. . . . . . while the idea is interesting, the way the site talks about helmets, it plays like "a one trick pony". There is tons of info on this one feature - and it is just a helmet feature. But, hardly anything about the helmet itself. Liner? Shield? Internal visor? ventilation? and on and on.

I think I would like a helmet with this feature, but not if it was noisy, uncomfortable, a pain to put on and take off, difficult to operate, and so on. No way to tell. I also could not tell how it would "look" with the Sun to your back at Sunrise or Sunset - or with lights from a car behind you at night.

Interested? Mildly.

I am really loosing all faith in helmet manufacturers, just too many bad experiences with helmets, so please take that into account if the points I mentioned above sound biases or negative. While a helmet saved my life once, I am ready to give up on the expensive trendy junk that is out there today.

add me to the list.
i also do not like the full face helmet but when i emailed them they did reply they are working on a half helmet.
 
Are they legal in the US yet? I saw these online over a year ago and they were not DOT approved then. Maybe they'll be at the motorcycle shows this year to see first hand. It does seem to be a nice idea.
 
Not the first

This is just an interesting little aside. I don't know anything about the helmet but in the Webbikeworld link it said it was the first rearview mirror built into a helmet. Strictly speaking, that may be true but it's not the first rearview mirror as a part of a helmet. If you've ever seen the classic motorcycle movie, "On Any Sunday", you may have noticed Malcolm smith, one of the stars of the movie, wearing a helmet visor which had small rearview mirrors built into each forward corner of the visor.

In those days, most everyone wore what is usually referred to now as 3/4 helmets and, in fact, I wore the same helmet riding dirt that I wore on the street. Don't remember who made the visor with mirrors but I tried one for a while. The mirrors were too small to help much on the street and, in the dirt, I was just too busy watching what was in front of me to look at what was behind me. Malcolm, being one of the best off-road riders ever, probably had a lot more time to look behind him than I did.

Not trying to hijack the thread. I'm sure the optics in this helmet work a lot better than the small mirrors from times gone by.
 
Interesting concept...but I won't be convinced about considering one, until I have a chance to fit one on my own head.:ani29:
 
Helmet

I'd have to see one and I ride with a passenger alot, how does that figure into the equation? Can you still see a big part of the road? What is the cost.
 
I've been watching these since they were first introducted (even contacted the UK rep about them).... a definate YES, I would be interested !
