Did anyone just watch Matrix on channel 5? Doesn't Morpheus look like The Beast?

I notice most riders who turned up has ff/ ff with flip up. I.e. It wun be wrong to get one! but i self sufficient student eh, got more "manageable" price range ones to intro?

 

No need dashy/ branded, just safe and cheap! with flip up lagi best!

 

I heard from other forummers some cheap ones crack when drop on floor - cannot imagine if kenna tarmac.. Hmmz..

[lutein]

What's your budget? I think HJC should be quite affordable? Mine is AGV, bought for $350 but price has come down to $200+ already I heard.

 

I am actually eyeing this one! http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motorcycle-helmet/nexx-x30/ But probably will cost a bomb.

 

Once your helmet drop from height or hit tarmac, time to retire it and get a new one. My head is worth more than a helmet...

[anodise57]

hey.... wanna do MO????

 

me eyeing this one too... Nexx-x30

 

but the review says the ear section is not comfortable... .and when this happens... Headaches occur very easily...That is a trade off and risk cos you DO CANNOT TRY before buying.... -_-....

[Pplater]

JackOhJack, cheaper full face helmets go for around 100 odd bucks to 200. U can find some of them at Regina and i think this "Shark" brand at motoworld. The thing about full face is u need one that fits comfortably.

 

Get a comfortable one, and its a good investment for a few years

waaaahhh!!!

it looks pretty darn fierce!

would be gret on the road, coz you dun have to look out for hazards

will scare away idiots with the fierce look! haha

No need dashy/ branded, just safe and cheap! with flip up lagi best!

 

I heard from other forummers some cheap ones crack when drop on floor - cannot imagine if kenna tarmac.. Hmmz..

 

Umm... I'm very sure you can find very good ones at Regina and MotoWorld. I don't think they cost that much as compared to a Shoei, Arai or AGV.

 

And yes, most importantly, the helmet must fit comfortably. You wouldn't wanna end up with ear infections and stuff like that...

i tried KBC (Yamaha) full face helmet at motoworld. it fits my head perfectly. the price only $99. definitely comfortable. and it's made in japan.

[huairen]

I duno which one to recommend but i noe which one not to recommend.

 

I am using the HJC CL-Max. It gets uncomfortable after sometimes as it is squashing my face. Went touring once with it and regretted it. Until now, the helmet has not "broken-in" to my head yet.

[xXxRatedxXx]

Yes yes, i agree... :lol:

 

See this...

[superdaddyshun]

just discovered this thread.. what a pity to have missed the recent..

very heartwarming to know that this event is going on as the road really needs more people with safe driving attitude! also kudos to the people who committed in making this successful!

Hope to join in the next HOV

[anodise57]

Maybe can read up from here as reference...

Ultimately Flipup will not replace the safety of a FF helmet.

 

Then again.. .In local context.. A Flip up beats OPEN FACE hands down.....

Tried Nolan b4.... MHR b4.. now is MultiTec... .No regrets. .Good investment!!!!

 

Well at least a decent riding boots + mesh jacket for local riding

(to and fro work 70+++km per day.... scary man!!)

Other then tat.... at least covered shoes, jeans + Open face helmet....

for helmet most important is Comfortable!

Sure, do join us for the next HOV!

[s4dreamer]

Ah... there's one more thing I would want to add on...

 

In my personal opinion, I do think that a pair of knee guards are very important!

 

More often than not, when a rider falls, the knees get the 1st impact. Therefore, it's very important to wear knee guards...

 

They are very convenient to wear... just strap over your pants or jeans, and you are ready to go!

we're actually spamming the HOV thread with all these but i guess safety gear is also a part of safe riding so i got a Q for you Anodise...

 

how is the noise buffer for the multitec? been thinking of getting it but so pricey

 

i'm presently using the MHR 346 and can go deaf with wind noise after long ride haha...

[anodise57]

U gotta go try yourself.....

U will appreciate SHOEI as SHOEI .....

Does your head worth 150? 500? 1000?

 

There endless brand of Flip ups... Ultimately find one u think suits both ya pocket and comfort level....

Not Branded stuff always good,

Even HJC, MHR can be good if wearing it feels fine ( try earplugs to reduce the wind noise)

Good helmet should stay on ur head when situation calls for.. break as it should when force is absorbed and not Eject from your head as u seen in the clips...

 

I rem reading 1 posting saying multitec no good ... .after the person got into accident and the chin cover broke...... .he so furious why it broke and wrote to Shoei asking for explanation.... Shoei came back asking.. .It served its purpose absorbed impact and broke... (but of course)....

This is so true. The helmet has done its job. I guess that person was thinking he could reuse the helmet!!! Absolutely no way - time to junk it and get a new one!!!

 

My partner just threw out one of his very old half-cap helmets, one that he wore for "decorative purposes" (for riding the bike up one level in the MSCP) scratches all over. We purposely dirty it with soil and dirt so that no one will want to pick it up. Guess what, it was gone within 3 hours. Good luck to whoever who took it.
