Re: 2014A to 2018ES Rambling Drivel
I have one testimonial from a young fella who works at a bike dealer, he mentioned possible group buy thru his dealership at significant discount. However, I'm not in a rush, but could be if pushed........blind squirrel wrote: ↑Wed Nov 21, 2018 7:33 amThat is a great looking helmet!

I think it's a Federal Law that you have to buy a new helmet when you buy a new bike.
Looks like a perfect match.
My wife got that helmet to go with the Valkyrie. Not a perfect match, but probably much closer to the FJR.

Here you go, it's got the Sena SRL already installed. This is the ad I was talking about. I figure you could make a quick day ride out of picking it up.

Saw the Shoei in person on Tuesday at the motorcycle shop. It's definitely a looker and would go well with that bike I think. You need it.

Re: 2014A to 2018ES Rambling Drivel
I put one in the cart at Revzilla, but never ordered (still in the cart, I think). I don't find anything better about the Neotec 2 than with Nolan's N-104 or N100-5. And they're $295 apart. I may treat myself to a new Nolan. After following wheatie around in the mountains, the conspicuity of his white Shoei made me think about going white. Super visibility. No triggers pulled yet...

Re: 2014A to 2018ES Rambling Drivel
I like the solid white helmet for the same reason. The lime green or banana yellow is more visible I think, but to unappealing to me.

I do love my High Viz helmet, and it gets attention, but that blue one sure was good looking.

Re: 2014A to 2018ES Rambling Drivel
I had a banana yellow before I had the white. I followed aireboss on the Kali trip and that white helmet of his just stood out. The white pops out more in the natural world...because amidst all the greens, reds, browns, yellows even, there is this solid white light bulb that does not belong. I'm glad to hear Lumberg say that...and get confirmation. I know it's not cool looking...but that's not what I am looking for in protective gear.gixxerjasen wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 9:34 am I do love my High Viz helmet, and it gets attention, but that blue one sure was good looking.
Of course that Matte Blue looks pretty damn good as well.
