Now my helmet is made in Japan too
if you’re considering a Shoei, they are 100% worth the money. Night and day compared to my last helmet. -
@Ross yeah man I love the glamster! But they’re not for sale in the US. All I’ve seen is overpriced ones on eBay
-
@Dmart absolutely, I really got it as a crap weather helmet (which is a lot of the time here in the UK haha). I've been looking at open face helmets for the summer but never owned one, any recommendations?
@Choko is it not? how odd
@Ross Do you need to comply with ECE regulations for helmets? Or do you care to comply? If yes, the Shoei JO is a really great helmet and compared to other open face helmets not too mushroom head like. The smallest ECE compliant helmet I know would be the DMD vintage https://www.dmd.eu/en/jet/ I have this as well and it’s low profile, thousands of different styles available and fits me well.
My holy grail however would be a Joe King helmet. Not ECE compliant but the best looking in my opinion. Kinda hard to get though. -
Hey all, newish member here.
Been riding many years, still riding most of the year despite the British weather not giving us much to enjoy.
Here's a few of my bikes over the years. That white Sporty got me round London hundreds of times before it got trashed (along with me) in a t-bone.
I regret selling the blue Evo FXDL, looks probably aren't to everyone's taste but man what a blast to ride.
I moved away from Harleys in recent years and ride the 1200 Scrambler.
Bonus shot of me wearing my trusty N1 on the aforementioned Sporty. And yeah that's a bin bag on the seat… British weather.

nice… I do like the FXDL... particularly the bars, and it does look like it will handle.
Here's a couple of pics of two of my stable of 7
, The first is the 900 cafe racer on the left of the photo I built in 2017, the second is an 83 Tenere 600 I rebuilt and restored in 2019 -
Really nice, love that XT600.
@Dmart - I hear you. I’m a Harley guy at heart but anything Evo or older has gotten so expensive and although I enjoyed the LRS while I had it, the new HD’s just don’t have the soul for me.
I’ll get another at some point, waiting to jump on an 84 FX if I see one come up for sale.

All good bike pics @1981FXe . Glad to hear you’ve settled for the Scrambler, looks top of the heap in my eyes!
I’ll wait for a pic of it being ridden by an IH-clad guy.

Fully get it. I prefer the old one as well, love to get a 83 shovel.

@1981FXe the T120 looks lovely! since there's a few triumphs, here's mine.
