Thanks! Always wanted a snell helmet, just need to finish bombing it with good stickers now that I’ve got it!

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I wish there was a penny souvenir equivalent of small stickers for this.

That would be awesome! I want to slap so many more (and I have lots) but they aren’t really hitting me as ones I want to put on. I need MORE lol

Went modular recently (scorpion exo 960) and can never go back. Ignore the uh.. tomato’s growing in the background, I’m in a state it’s legal to grow in and this was the only pic of my helmet I had lol

Sharing since mine is pretty cool out of the box :D Caberg Ghost, without the chin guard it comes with but with a tube scarf thing covering the exposed area so that I don't eat ze bugs.

[–] poleslav@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

That’s an awesome design!

Bought this a week ago, it's a HJC i91. Equipped it with a Cardo freecom 4x. Feels like a nice lid!

Older ones I have are Schuberth C3 and C4. some Older HJC and a Nolan. All are flip-up model because they work best with glasses.

Does the Cardo also let you listen to music?

[–] PhotatoMan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, you can play over Bluetooth or listen to FM radio.

I should look into one for my next helmet.

Just to put a soup bowl into the helmet thread.

This is mine: Bell Pit boss

I've been hit by enough rocks on the visor to not want the brain buckets

To each their own. When I was really young, one of my cousins died on a motorcycle when he hung the chin of the helmet on something and broke his neck.

I know it is completely illogical. But I have a terrible fear of those helmets since then.

And I'm guessing because I put my first 75,000 mi on underneath a bucket. The full helmets feel extremely stifling.

When I was over in Europe it was impossible to get a beanie that was also legal and even the 3/4 helmets made me feel like I was traveling in a bubble. Disconnected.

Have an older Shoei RF1200 in black that has a bunch of dead bugs on it atm.

It's comfy.

I need to get a new helmet soon though.
