[QUOTE="Speedtwin, post: 164358, member: 5012"] In the words of the late Barry Sheene from one of the old adds if you have a fifty pence head wear a fifty pence helmet. I wear full face Arai lids on and off the road I am on the record of the benefits having went through a large four wheel drive after hitting it head on. Full story on this is available online in an article on helmets published by the Belfast Telegraph motorcycling correspondent after my crash. In short I was wearing a week old Arai RX7, which undoubtedly saved my life. The hemet exploded dispearcing the impact. I hit the front pillar with my left shoulder went through the windscreen and came out the back window. The 89 year old registered blind gentleman driver had crested the hill on the wrong side of the road I had little time to brake. My speed 39 at impact his speed 40 at impact result an explosion like scene and my nose detached from my face, ribs shoulder,collar bone and shoulder blade in bits all in all pretty bad but alive. The maxillofacial surgeon who sewed my neb back on was nearly as amazed as me by the helmets performance. Bike was destroyed car was destroyed I was alive which was a result. I wear when touring my Rukka suit and a full face Arai helmet always. Yes the gear is expensive but I am always as safe as I can be, warm and dry. Have had several of these suits they last about six years 100 k miles, I change my lid every time it is timed out by scruitennering or if it gets dropped. Arai took my helmet for research and gave me a nice new TT centenary lid which some twat stole of my bike by cutting the strap.. Al [/QUOTE]
