I bet it took you 3 hours to clean your bike after that little trickle of water.

I have a GT air and I agree they are a very good helmet, the only issue I have found it is the worse helmet I have ever had in the wet! The tiniest lift of the visor the rain gets in underneath and it then becomes hell on earth trying to see, I have no idea why or how to stop it,,,, never has such issues with my Arai!

This is not a dig at the helmet, I love mine, but wet riding in this helmet for me is a no, no. (If I get the choice that it ! (facepalm)
I'd check the seal of your visor, Frankie, I had never had that issue with mine.

I've had the same problem. It's not when the visor is closed, but when you've cracked it to let a little but of air in.

That said, I'd buy another gt air in an instant, great lid.

I'm going to go size up a shoei tomorrow, if L is my size I'll take it spud. What would you want for it? Obviously £65 is only the start bid.

I know you have a lot on your plate but are you able to find out postage to NSW 2758, Aus? If it's to much inconvenience with all you're dealing with ATM I fully understand and I'll leave it.

I stuffed mine in the crash.

Hey Spudda, my local bike shop had no Shoei's and I'm out to work tomorrow so no opportunity to check out size for a couple of weeks. So I'll not stuff you around and wish you well for a good sale on eBay.

It's all good Spuds, it was all last minute as I was flying out to work. Just thought if I was ever to buy a second hand helmet you would be the one to buy it off!

I've found the exact same helmet (R-Jays, Aussie brand) I crashed in on clearance for AU$ 99 as it's about 3 years old now, (was $349) so I'll grab one of those when I get home. Just want to keep my Shark for the road and have a less fancy one to bounce down the track in (wasntme)
