Default What kind of helmet do you wear?

i've got i think 10 helmets, but the one i wear the most and probably like the best is My Shoei X-11, what about you?

Arai RX7 Corsair -- the Haga replica.

I love it. It's a fabulous helmet. But truth me told, if it hadn't been a gift, I probably might not have spent THAT much on it. I'm looking for another helmet now (just to be able to switch back and forth) and I'm looking at Scorpions, and Sharks.

I switch between my Shark and my Arai, but I also have an HJC that I use as a backup helmet

Track - HJC
Street - Suomy Vandal, Bayliss Replica

I like both of them. I have to say the Suomy is my favorite because of the paint scheme and that it's a replica. It fits nice too, another reason I got it. And the price was right.

So nice that my buddy with an HJC and Shoei said "Holy fuck this is nice, how mcuh did you pay" when he looked it over....

What looks like all grey in the pic is actually metallic silver. The silver really shines like crazy in the sun....

My first helmet was a GMAX. I paid like maybe 60 bucks for it. But it got the job done. Visor fogged like crazy.
