New Helmet

Post by Kronus »

I needed a new helmet very bad. I had a Buell KBC Redline helmet that I had used for three years. It didn't take too well to year round use. It was quite literally falling apart, I had electrical tape keeping some of the trim on. I even crash tested the front of it at 35mph when I planted on my face due to having to e-stop and gravel magically appearing in the exact spot my front tire was at.

Thankfully I've upgraded. I'm now rockin' an Arai Astral-X. I didn't know it at the time of purchase, but the paint is a special design done by Aldo Drudi of Drudi Performance. I can't explain my joy. Its comfortable, vents extremely well, and has a great saftey rep.

It has a 5 year warranty too. I'm all smiles, just in time for the great weather. I broke it in the FOERST day i got it. My best friend of many years just bought himself a new bike. A Suzuki Katana 600. Its nice, but not exactly my cup of tea. We hit 300 miles on the FOERST day. Not too shabby.

Good choice. Arai makes a good lid and the color will help get you noticed.
