This one?


I got one of those with the mirrored face shield.  It exudes attitude.  I don't have to wave at anyone anymore and no one waves at me.  I scare kids in backseats.  I love it! 8)

Edit:  THE best $100 spent this year hands down. :D


brother jd, any problems with distortion with the visor? that was the only complaint i've heard about them and the reason i didnt buy one. i think i'll pick one up any way. bikebandit has them for 86 bucks, if i dont like it i'll give it to my daughter.

Yes there is a slight distortion in the center where the compound curve in the visor is.  It gets better up higher on the visor.
From parts unknown.

In the reviews of the FX-37 it appears that it's a crap shoot when it comes to the optical distortion in the visor. I apparently got lucky and mine is fine. The helmet is very drafty (a good thing in Southern UT) and I'm going to pick up a different helmet for winter riding. Upto this point all I've had were open faced helmets and the FX-37 is a huge move up from those in regards to noise and wind.

thanks,

I sold SIMPSON helmets for awhile.... they are rare in the motorcycle world.... BIG in the cage world.

The BANDIT was always a hit.  
Very Nice Helmet ..... That is a helmet isn't it?

Just got a Caberg Sintessi after having the Justissimo & Justy GT2, I like them obviously.

Nice fit once the the styrene at the forehead adjusted to my nut.

Homologated for Jet position riding in the EU, quieter, lighter, better ventillation and much more directionally stable than the others, now if they can just get the BT unit out to the dealers I'll be happy.

I bought a Symax II a few months back to replace my aging Nolan flip up.  I like it very much, a lot quieter than the Nolan.  I really like tha fact that the front part stays up (unlike the nolan which would flop down on me)
the little Jet fighter inner shield is handy but I usually ride with sun glasses...  Price was right too.  :D

Having just flipped through this thread I'm amazed no one has mentioned Schuberth. Maybe they dont appear on the west of the pond but I have had a C2 for a couple of years and rate it as the best I have had. A friend has just got the sucessor C3 and reckons its even better.
