Why are you looking at Shoeis?   

Thought you would only wear those high-falutin' Arais...

I like my Shoei, but I'm seriously thinking this is going to be my next helmet.

I warned Arai in writing (via multiple internet motorcycle board postings )  - if they did not figure out a better shield swap-out system I was done with them!    ..and they wouldn't listen.

RF1100 has similar Arai style internal oval shape AND a normal sheild system that does not involve flexing plastic AND on sale.

So I'm going to have to slum it with a Shoei.  oh the shame.

Holy crap - that's cool!  I'm afraid it will cost 2x my bike though. 

Probably need extra insurance just for the helmet.  Can you imagine if it ever fell off the shelf onto your concrete garage floor!

Do they have a shell big enough?   

IIRC, you complained about that crap shield system and bought another one anyway!

You remember INcorrectly.  At your age it's not unexpected.    Nope, this is my first and only Arai, Kenny Roberts Jr double eagle.  I've been milking it for a loooong time. I'm embarassed to say how long.. way past it's time.
