Ya... Just found a few reviews. Made in Taiwan. The reviews say that its a killer lid though. I gotta have a full face (plates and screws holding my jaw together already) and $75 is within my price range. Found about 6 seperate reviews, and they scored 9 or 10 out of 10 in all of them. A few of them even compare it to a Shoei or Arai. Shit, it cant be worse than my helmet now...

HA! As stated earlier, have to have something coverin' up the old glass jaw, or Id rock my o.g. 70s Bell 3/4 thats sitting in the garage. I DO NOT want to go through having my jaw wired shut again so full face it is, and although it may get me banned from here for life, I really dislike Simpson Bandit helmets...

Nothing wrong with THH helmets, seen a few nice ones (I like their Tomcat model very much) and some have whats called a 'Twin Shield System' - a second tinted visor inside the outer clear one! Very trick, makes you feel like a fighter pilot and beats wearing sunnies inside the thing. It flips up out of the way via a switch on the side of the helmet when you don't need it.
I have a simple THH half-lid and think it feels well made, and have tried on a few other models and reckon they feel alright. Not up to spec with those fancy-pants $700 helmets you barley notice you're wearing...but good all the same.

Well I said fuck it and went ahead and bought a really cool "pilot style" helmet. Its cheap, its a little ugly, but I think it has a certain class. The kind of class thats oozes from say, a gutter punk, or crack whore. Flat black, with a flip down visor, blah, blah, blah... Broken jaw be damned... Actually I already have a full face, its just god-awful looking but will work fine for longer rides. This helmet will be cool for around town and what-not. Thanks for the info guys, and Leon, can I stay a member now? I know its not vintage, but its not a full face, flames, tribal design, hot pink and green monstrosity either...

Good to hear you got yourself another lid man. BTW, my info on the TTH's was less than correct...I think I may have been referring to RJays when I was talking about the flip down sunshade thing.
So wheres the pictures of this gutter-punk crack-whore helmet of yours? Bet you I can trump it
