Shoei X-spirit 3 (or X-14 over the pond)

Fits really nicely, vey snug all around the cheeks and jaw.
Will eventually get a photochromatic visor as i sometimes work very late on weekends and i cant be bothered bringing two visors with me.

I like it Owl!

Mine is more low key but I love it. Scorpion Exo 1000. Fits like a glove and feels great.

You fellas have some nice helmets. I used to buy Arai's, and keep them a long time.

The last 10 years or so, I've been buying Scorpions, (mostly R710 varieties, inexpensive, functional, and I put them on the scarecrow in my veggie garden after 2 years of service, and just buy another)..

I currently use a white Shoei Neotec, yes very plain, very functional, but a great lid. I will get another one again for my next in few years.https://www.790dukeforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=1040&stc=1&d=1557660596

I have a Shoei GT Air with a drop down internal visor which is a godsend. Also has a Pinlock insert on the main visor. Very comfortable and has large cutouts for the speakers on my comms unit. I don't use the removable breath guard because I wear specs for riding and driving and the breath guard causes a bit of misting, mainly on cooler days when I'm stationary. Otherwise, very pleased with it over the 18-odd months I've owned it.

Surprised no ADV helmets yet, I know it’s not an adventure bike, but the styling certainly matches imo.

love this Shoei Hornet in KTM colours

My GT AIR, great helmet.
It looks like you got your money's worth out of it!
My GT AIR, great helmet.
Nothing quite like sliding down the tarmac on the back of your head. :smile_big: Been there.
I must not chase Hyabusa's over MT Messenger whilst running in my bike............Broken wrist Broken ankle, safe mellon (head) helmet did the trick.

Oh wow! Bad enough but could have been a lot worse. A recent event or historical?

A week before me and the wife were to fly out to Philip Island Moto GP 2016 Geoff, still went but a lot of the things to do with my son were cancelled:sad: But i got to hobble around PI and still had a great time. Dumb lesson learnt, pushing an unfamiliar bike hard up hill on a corner that had a sunken dip in the road, suspension loaded up then unloaded causing the tire to let go at around 120kph, rear came around , and down i went sliding on my back up the centre of the road following the bike. :crying:

Crikey! I'm reluctant to say that you were lucky but considering the circumstances, I think it's a fair statement! I haven't been over Mt Messenger for about 5 years but I do remember a pretty uneven surface approaching the summit on the southern side, Bet your wife was wasn't best pleased :grin: .

I've only had one high speed off (at over 200 km/hr) and it was surprisingly uneventful apart from a bad scare. In the late 60's, the throttle of my drag bike jammed open crossing the finish line and I put it into a ploughed field at the side of the dragstrip. Quite a soft landing all considered and just bruises!
I really want to get this one, however, it isn't available in Australia yet and is currently on back order. I think it would suit the Duke.
