Need A Spare Helmet?
« on: June 11, 2009, 08:31:13 PM »
I wear my Shoei RF-1000 for pretty much everything, and that's everyday.  But in the summer heat I wanted an open face helmet just running errands around town.  Something that I can put on quickly, without fiddling with my glasses.  (My expensive designer glasses have very thin, flexible arms which are harder to push back in my RF-1000.)

BUT, I don't want to spend much money on this item that I don't seriously need.

How about a DOT/Snell Scorpion helmet for $50?  That'll do it, even if a little ugly.  I've seen worse, and at this price it's worth it for those quick errands.

Oh, yeah; it even comes with the face shield.   ;D
