What kind off price are you thinking? I am curious as to how much a bike like that would cost in Germany since I just discovered importing a bike to the Netherlands is pretty easy!black_2004_suzuki_sv650s.jpg
didn't ride her at all in 2012. shit.
considering selling.
I would go with what fits your head properly. Go out and try them on before buying anything.Picked up my Ruckus finally, gonna need a real helmet come spring time.
Any recommendations on lower end helmets, not crazy cheap, but not stupid expensive. So far I've been looking at Scorpion Exo-750's Dot/Snell rated, Kevlar/Fiberglass, I guess scorpion along with HJC is well regarded as a Tier 2 helmet maker.
Where I work they just installed electric pumps we can use for free and I have been eye balling these. In the end my current bike gets 50+ to the gallon so sorta gave up on the idea.
Yes and no. You can't see the damage that you may have caused to the inside of the helmet and have no way of knowing if it is up to par in doing its job. Certain helmet makers like Shoei will allow you to send the helmet in to have it checked and they can then determine if you need to replace it or not. Most manufactures recommend replacing a helmet after a certain time frame, generally 2-4 years, or if you have dropped it. This is most likely for liability reasons.Never rode a bike, but I've heard and want to know if it's just urban legend. If you drop your helmet and it hits a hard surface, like concrete, throw it away and buy a new one, even if you cannot see ANY damage, because your next wreck it could shatter like an egg shell.
Any truth to this?
I did the math on a motorcycle forum and you're not really "saving" anything since the cost is still so high. They are starting to get a lot better but I'm staying away for at least another 10 years until we figure out true battery life and better power ratios.Where I work they just installed electric pumps we can use for free and I have been eye balling these.

At a rally seminar awhile ago someone was saying that keeping your helmet out of the sunlight when storing it helps it last longer, evidently the sun will break down the styrofoam or whatever inside the helmet faster.Yes and no.

The helmets are designed like cars in order to give the most protection when in an accident. Just like a car absorbs and deflects the impact, the helmet does this by delaminating or cracking. Its a one and done type of deal.
Yes, but only in the fucking a guy in the ass kind of way.
I do not know who this person is, but the photo is of Eomer's bike from memory.Oh, I wasnt trying to sell it here, just wanted to mention that Im selling it.
