Half Shell Helmets

[dogbot]

I saw it over Xmas. I just find Sheen cringeworthy nowadays. Shame, but I can't separate the character from the prick underneath, oddly.

So, he's a bullshitter and I'm a sweary twit, but we sound the same in text on a forum??

Only, not in content, I hope!

Fwiw D41 is a really top bloke IMHO, despite what some may suggest.
However his life has come off the rails completely, poor lad, and he is offline big time at the moment.

I still consider him a good friend (but don't hold that against him.)

Glad to hear you say that, brother from another mother. But I do like to pull his pisser!

I had a lot of time for D41 but he just got very hard to handle, and got really random. I'm sure you've seen another side to him St Marks.

Dogbot, you're posting isn't similar at all imo, you have some consistency for a start!

As for the cruiser and half lid, not my thing, but your bike stable seems to have all the bases covered so full credit to you! The OP helmet, I always wonder with those if the flared lip would act as a pivot point and cause more neck hypo extension than an convential helmet? Plus in Oz you'd have a diet of forced feed bugs wearing an open face!

It really must be very difficult for anyone joining this forum to jet a handle on anything we say. The only thing I'll add is I'm 99.99% certain that 99.99% is said with 99.99% integrity! The rest is total bull excrement!

[Kwacky]

Well I think Dogbot seems to have made himself right at home.

I have to put this forum in Google translator just to try and figure out what type of washing machine we are talking about.

P.S i Think those helmets look cool for that type of bike. You would look wired with a full lid in race colours. However in this climate would your face not freeze off. Surely you would end up wearing a balaclava / neckerchief so the shark looks in-between and offers some protection. Although I'm sure I've seen a review of one of those lids and said it was quite windy and fogged up guess it depends how much style you want over comfort or protection.

Well, here too, I think. But I usually ride with a buff up over my nose even in a full face helmet anyway, so that and sunglasses would be the plan.

Don't worry, though... I won't be getting leather chaps, no matter what.

I know what I am.

[dogbot]

How about this one?

[Kwacky]

erm, yeah, sure, why not? They're almost as impressive as they fooking idiotic Predator helmets you see

[dogbot]

Yeah, I'm guessing that one might not have a kite mark, eh?

A couple of people have suggested those Predator or Iron Man looking ones. Obviously, they are no longer my friends.

[Kwacky]

I don't know what surprises me more; that you've got friends or that you can afford to lose any

One of the best TV series ever

[dogbot]

Aye. I love that video, it just goes on and on and on for... ever...

[Kwacky]

or 3 minutes 26 seconds

I would of posted one of Rodney Dangerfield saying "hey, you're alright" but I couldn't find one.

So, ho!

:p

LOL not quite sure what I meant by that, was a little bit p!ssed on vodka.

My mate bought a Shark lid a few years back and it was honestly one of the most poorly constructed helmets I have ever encountered. From a reputable dealer, too, who then had all sorts of problems getting a replacement.

They ended up just giving him a refund and he bought an Arai (for £50 more, which is what he should have done in the first place). Hard not to be put off by that. Also, I looked at that specific lid a while back with a young mate of mine who thought it was cool, and... well, I didn't. I want something simple.

I'll probably just end up with something dull as, like this...
