Went to the WOW show yesterday and my buddy introduced me to his friend who is the artist for Paradise Paint. They had some awesome bikes there with fantastic custom artwork on them. Pricey...but really sweet!

[Inkdcountryboy]

Not too long to spring time now. Hopefully it will be nice weather this year. Little cold last year.

I"m really pumped as well... bought new gloves yesterday, and this came in the mail last week:



Bell Star Cerwinske Carbon helmet... full carbon fibre, feels awesome, and absoltuely bada$$ looking... got it with the photo-chromatic visor, which has "transitions lenses" technology so it goes from light to dark as conditions allow....

Nice helmet. I can't get away from my agv's though.

My current helmet, agv Rossi Donkey.....




My girlfriend rocks an agv Rossi Dreamtime....

I've had a KBC for years, and was always a big fan of the AGV's for some reason, but I didn't feel they fit my head as well as some other brands ... when i first started looking, i was nearly hell-bent on a AGV, since you can find the exact helmets you and your girl have on close-out all over the internet for under $200 - but like i said, it just didnt fit me very well (plus i really didn't want "46" on my helmet, as most of the Rossi replicas do)... each brand fits to a certain head style... The Bell feels spectacular - the Arai was a bit thin... i didn't like the AGV, and the HJC's feel too oval-like... my KBC was a good fit, but i've had it since '05 and felt it was time for a new one...

I tried all the brand on and figured i'd wait for the right deal to come along... fortunately, it came long sooner than i expected... my Bell was $650+ in 2011... i got the last one on close-out for $300, since i wear a XXL helmet.

My original intention was to find one with the flip down internal sun-visor... There aren't a lot of helmets out there that i like which had this, which had me OH SO CLOSE to pulling the trigger on a Scorpion EXO-1100, but with the photo-chromatic visor, the Bell solved that problem for me.

If i were to buy a second helmet just as something on the side, i'd definitely pick up a GMAX... some great looking helmets, and can be had for $100 or less... that price point scares me, but they get nothing but rave reviews for their price point

[SonofaBish]

i've read great things about Schuberth helmets as well, but never found one to try on....

I rock the Icon Carbon Lifeform helmet. Had it for about 2 seasons now and love it. Air flow is nice, stays cool, it's super comfortable for my head and extremely light compared to my Scorpion EXO-300. The only complaint I have is about the shield. I bought the mirror finished shield, and within 3 months the finish had began to fade and become "splotchy." When I contacted Icon they said I must have cleaned it with an abrasive material. I only use a shield polish designed for helmets and a microfiber towel so that's not the case. Regardless, they refused to refund me or replace it. I now have the dark smoke, and hope to have a better experience. I wish they made a red chrome one, it would look pretty cool with the white, carbon, and red.

I like my icon helmet and if i dont sell it im gna end up going to just buy another bike. Im thinking a used ducati 1098 or new r1 or a buell 1125cr.. With price o the 1125cr i may get one just to have

[NateSVT]

I have an Icon Alliance and bought a Joe Rocket RKT201 off Scott. The Icon was alright, gonna go test out this new one in a little.


Icon is for sale if anyone is interested in a cheap, excellent condition helmet. - $90, pm me.

What gear do you need to run at PRP?

What gear do you need to run at PRP?

When I raced my 6R there years ago, all I needed was a helmet, jacket (nothing specific), gloves, pants, and boots that covered the ankles.

[NateSVT]

Ok cool, I already wear all that when I go riding normally. Definitely gonna try and go up to the track a couple times this year on the R1.

[Inkdcountryboy]
