So I need to get a new helmet for next summer, just curious what you all are rockin these days...
Im kinda diggin this and for $200, its not bad actually. The only thing that bothers me is the chrome "DIESEL" written on the back but I could probably get that off. I just cant tell if it cool or cheesy...

Anyways, shoot me some ideas if yall dont mind. Later!!
Thats the one i use now. Its super comfy and fairly lightweight. I personally dont like 3/4 helmets. Ive seen a bad wreck where if the rider was wearing a full face they might have survived the crash...
I kinda feel the same way about the 3/4 helmets. Some love em some hate em. Me, after seeing a huge rock get flung at my buddy and if he was wearing a 1/2 or 3/4 helmet would currently be in the hospital getting his face reconstructed, will always wear a full face helmet. Bell helmets are great just picked up the Bell RS-1 and I LOVE IT! Really quiet compared to my old helmet and has a visor lock. If you ride in the winter months like I do it also has a breath box you can get to keep the visor from fogging plus a photochomatic visor so you dont have to carry those pesky sunglasses or an extra visor
I have a bell rs-1 also. Awesome helmet. I don't even have to wear headphones if the bikes quiet. Almost zero wind noise. Plus I can change out my visor in about 10 seconds. True story. My brother timed me.
I've been ridding for 35 years, been down more times on the dirt, street, and track than I can count, and one busted a shoei in half, I haven't worn a open face since the '70's and won't. I like my ugly mug and only trust it to a full face arai.
Sux, as it doesn't really go with the case racer theme. If you have to go old school maybe a full face bell?
I wear a 3/4 Bell around town, but my main helmet that I use is a Shoei RF1100. It is one badass lid. You can find good deals on them, I think I paid $150 for mine.
I like my Scorpion EXO-700 more every time I put it on. ;D
My next may be an Arai XD-4 and RX-Q, but if money is tight I'll get an EXO-1100 instead of the RX-Q. Hell......I may rather have the EXO even if money isn't tight.
Damn, im gonna have to hit the Google up today and check these all out. Ya, im not totally sold on goin 3/4, but I already have a full face and just kinda want something a little different. Thanks for all the ideas.
I almost purchased the same helmet because I was interested in a modular although no one around me had it that I knew of and could not try it on. Snagged a killer deal on my RS-1 so I figured why the hell not.
I think im sold on this Nolan. It gives me the option to go full face, or open face, plus integrated sun visor. Basically gives me both helmets in one. I like the style as well and the price is still doable. Only question is, black or that wine cherry color?
gsdapollo: do you have a link other than youtube (blocked at work)?
dane: I couldn't find it or any other Bell local either. Got it from leatherup.com and they have a great return policy so I figured if it didn't fit then no problem. It fits great. Just wish I had a bike to try it on. I get a little claustrophobic in full face helmets when there is no air moving through them, like when I'm starting my bike, so I thought the modular would be great. I don't feel comfortable riding in anything but a full face.
I wanted a vision R because your field of view is HUGE!!! but I couldn't afford it at the time. I got Mine in the UK and it comes with a 4 star SHARP rating which blows the dick off of DOT and SNELL's minimum requirements. I've ruined a few helmets in my time and my advise is buy a good damn helmet. Who cares if you look cool if you've got brain damage or a broken jaw.
Arai profile in basic white. I've worn other brands, but Arai actually makes their helmets to fit different shaped heads- each model is different, from round to oval so you can find one that actually fits you properly. That's also why you should try on several helmets/brands to find what fits you the best. My noggin is more oval, my old Bell Star was an XL, my Arai is a Med. It's also a lot easier to wear if it feels good!
