New lid time

[geofferz]

Just scored one of these for £254 with the 15% off ebay code xmas15 - dark visor thrown in too https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 2365574442

I think these are 2017 design - with the newer paint jobs these are £600 lids. Should have it in a week - I'm excited. Let's hope it fits!

Nice looking lid.....but there again, Bell usually are......

How does new lid time work then? I don’t want to miss out based on the silly notion that just because I have a perfectly good helmet I don’t need another one?!

I really don’t right now though, am still revelling in the shoei but I want to be prepared when the time comes!

Fair question. I'll tell you what I tell my wife: helmets degrade and become unsafe over time - roughly 2 years or so. An unsafe helmet means if I crash I won't be able to earn money and she won't be able to spend it on vegan food and animal charities. So, roughly every 2 years, or whenever you change your bike/gear (as it must all coordinate) - whichever comes first.

You could run on that, not in America though it would be too complicated

May not be an issue for you but these are a tighter fit than makes like Shoei, for example. I bought the Bell Race Star last year. Originally i sent it back and got the next size up but found that much to too big so reverted back and just stuck with it for a month. Eventually the padding gave way.

Only annoying thing is that there is no cutouts for speakers.

Quality helmet though.

[Joe85]

By the way, that's an incredible deal. I paid closer to 500, i think.

Yeah I read about the lack of cutouts. I don't have a comms system at the moment but maybe one day. I'll keep my hjc which has those, plus a drop down visor! Like lingerie it seems the more you pay the less you get... At least this has eyeglass grooves (I wear them). My large hjc is a bit big so I'm hoping this large should be tighter - I read about the fit.

That's why I bought it!

Right so I'm obviously now thinking of the next new lid... Anyone know what model this is? I like the paint job.

Are you getting an airbag jacket to go with it?

That seems superfluous
