what does tight rolling pants mean?

02-25-2009, 10:06 AM
I'm pretty sure its where you fold your pant leg longways to make it more narrow, then you roll it up.

Come on erkblack no need to get upset with people having fun bragging up what they have! We all brag about our bikes cause we are proud of them and there is no reason to no be proud of nice gear as well.

Btw Thaloc that helmet is straight up bad ass! Never seen one before so I'm definitely appreciating the fighter pilot design.

I actually don't know what shoes those are. I believe they are jordans or la gear. I just found it on the internet and decided that it was fitting since my helmet is only as cool as tight jeans with the pinch roll. lol. heck i was rocking them jeans too. cant hate the 80's. I bet that erik buell was rocking them jeans when he first came out with the buell back in 83!

Nah its not DOT approved. Steve was right it is Euro union approved and also Snell approved tho. Also if you wear contacts or your eyes are sensitive to the wind I would not advise that helmet. You get ALOT of wind around your face, def not a winter helmet.

Also the other is for the long trips, little more protection and quieter. Plus it matches the ink on my are, just a reason for why I liked the helmet.

tf1182, how much does the mask move around at higher speeds with the rufus?

As noted above I have the tornado and I feel the only down fall is the mask movement. But once I get my other mask in the mail I am going to try something that will hopefully eliminate the problem.

tf1182
04-24-2009, 04:50 AM
It catches the wind pretty good. The first time I took it on the highway, it pushed my head back haha. I'm used to it now. You'd think a helmet that looks like a fighter helmet should be aerodynamic haha. What are you getting that will eliminate it?

xtremelow
04-24-2009, 08:48 AM
I have an extra mask coming in the mail and my plans are to simple use gorilla glue or zip grip to glue the face mask(also have an extra shield) to the bottom of the sheild inside the little lip of the mask which should allow for no moveminet at higher speeds.

Looks like your helmet would have enough lift to pull you off the bike

How does that do on the highway?

TechMagic
05-14-2009, 02:38 AM
well that was my only concern but I shopped around the "adventure touring/supermotard" style crossover helmet is newer and wicked looking, unique like a Buell. So anyway naturally Shoei had the one with the best review on everything including lowest airfoil effect from the visor. I don't have any problems unless its a blustry day, and on those days the whole bike is getting blown around so no big deal. It's worth the "what the?" looks it gets ;)

only1reds,

How long have you had that X11? What are your opinions on it?

I just got one, and so far I'm lovin it. I can already tell the air flow is going to help so much this summer.

I started with a medium and it had a LOUD whistle and also felt a little loose. The small is a little tight, but no whistle and I know it will break in and get more comfortable.

I've had the X11 for about 6 months. I love it. Had a SUOMY Gambler Extreme prior to this one, too big. I felt like I was a spaceman.

With my X11 I hit the highway, and IMMEDIATELY cool down, love it. I have a medium, but I wear a fleece ski mask to hold down my Ipod earbuds, so it fits extremely snug.

Overall, I rate it a 10

To be honest with you, I have no idea what kind of helment it is. All I do know is that it has AFX on the front right above the visor. It came with the bike when I baught it.

It was all white with the skulls and in a flat sheen, but when I added the translucent red it loks wicked in the sun with the flat and the gloss sheens on it.

Here's my new helmet. It's a 2009 Arai Corsair V. Thanks to the wonderful economic condition of our country, I just bought it for almost 50% off. Just like my villian black 2009 Lightning Scg. How could I say no? Besides...my head is worth it!!! :)

Can't wait for my new brain bucket to get here ...

Even though I've read some not-so-awesome reviews, I'm getting a Scorpion EXO-1000 in the matte black Sublim design. Get a mirrored visor and tint the inner eye shield a little more and I'm set!!

I've heard good things from my friends so I hope it works out.

I have the EXO-1000 in Matte Black, its a little heavy compared to my HJC AC12 and when I ware my backpack it pushes up on the back of the helmet, kinda annoying, its a little loud without earplugs but I like it. Deff need the darker inner shield over the stock one on bright days.

For those who were curious, ECE is Europes DOT and they are a goverment sanctioned entity. The EPS is softest on the DOT and hardest on ECE which means upon impact the ECE has less "give" inside the helmet. BUT with that being said, ECE studied HUNDREDS of accidents over the course of 8 years or so and tested their helmets according to real world crash scenarios so, in that right, its the safest helmet. DOT is great as well, even though its considered to be terrible but in a 3 way study of helmets DOT actually came out as being extremely safe. Snell is alright, but they test their helmets on "one in a million" scenarios. You know...just in case you are going 180 mph and slide head first into a stationary "round" concrete pillar lol.

Anyways, no matter how fast your are going its the height of the fall that is the most important i.e. a fall from 4 feet at 100 mph is the same as 10 mph. From that point, its what you slide into or how many times you bounce up of the concrete. ANYWAYS I digress.... From all the helmet study I have done, even though I have an Icon and it saved my life once, for the money the AFX Dark Angel helmet is quite possibly the safest and best looking helmet (not to mention cheap)on the market.

redliner172, I bought the Bad betty for my ex-gf, she really liked it. I bought the &-sins helmet from cyclegear on sale. I had another 707 helmet and really liked it, another reason I got it was because if I wrecked I would either die with my sins or i would get to live with them all again. I was going to get it tattoed on my leg and I believe now I will. Funny thing is, the leg I was going to have it tattoed on is the leg that was messed up in the wreck.

Hi 303xb

it's the Caberg Sintesi (107) it's a full face and Flip up that's why i love it.
Not sure what the retail price for you though. I purchased it from a friend of mine who works at one of the shops with the Bluetooth system for about the equivalent of maybe 220 USD. (I live in Dubai so i'm not sure what the retail price for the helmet in the US)

have a look at the link.

i'm not sure how to quote other posts, but on page 4 afinley posted his helmet up:

http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/5103_20091118231631_L.jpg

Can somebody tell me what model helmet this is? It looks like an HJC FS-15 (http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/1/38/16852/ITEM/HJC-FS-15-Solid-Helmet.aspx) but I want to be sure since the area under the visor release is different. Heh if I'm going to be drawing on it with a sharpie I want to make sure I can wash it off afterward. I'm guessing it's the matte white color that I'll be going for?

maybe
what lid do you have? I was going to look in the old posts but with 5 pages I figured it would be faster to just ask.

the long and short of it is dependent on your lid, some are replaceable while others are not, any scorpion can be replaced along with most/all icon lids. same with shark, shoei did not make all the pads replaceable and I have no idea about any kbc or hjc

go to your manufactures website and look it up, if parts are listed call any local dealer that caries the brand and order.

I went with a GMax GM68 for the venting and the Led in the back for visability. I was going to have a Evil looking Pegasus airbrushed on it, but the prices started to get ridiculous with primer/clear coat,etc. So Put the money toward my ride instead and got a little creative with Black reflective vinyl, an exacto knife, an accent from Autozone and my St.Christopher Visor clip from my Jeep.

Thanks Dr., With most of my gear in black and a black bike I had to do something to be seen. The LED's seemed like a natural choice. The vinyl helps & DOT tape I put on the vest too...Of course in NYC, I don't know if it means people can see you to avoid you or don't have to strain as hard to aim for you.

I just got a dual shield for the helmet. Full Clear Fog Proof Underneath and a half flip down Tint for those sun up /sun down rides. I should probably update the pics...

Love that lid, Delta. Especially the profile shape of the back. Kind of sinister looking. How is it for visability. I would imaging the spun leafed areas reflect a lot of light... as do the silver parts, if the are pearlescent?

yea visibility is good with it both outwards (the eye port is not at wide as the new shoei lids though) and making me more visible with its silver areas, but no pearlecent on this one, just my shoei and Sarah's scorpion

that RSD one is sick!

Thanks, I was leaning towards the helmet you style your art after but the price was simply to high as the RSD Helmets are on sale and the Cerwinskie's aren't (still $600, compared to the RSD for $200, even though it is the same helmet just different graphic).

Here is the one I thought of.

That Cerwinskie carbon looks amazing, it's the same graphic but instead of black it's clear revealing the carbon fiber weave of the helmet.

Bell had some teething issues with the star line, mine is 1 size off and has a raised edge of EPS that hasn't worn down all the way yet and it gives me a headache. The ridge it right in line with the corner of your eye if you were to draw a line straight back across the top of your head. This was further Exentuated with a seam from the cheek pad.
These are common complaints with the first gen lids.

The second gen (to include X's C-note) solved 99% of the complaints and changed the headshape to in intermediate oval from whatever they had before. The sizing was correctly done this time too. They fixed the EPS pressure points as well as the cheekpad seam but apparently still had some issues with the speaker cavities (if you dont use speakers you will never know) and fixed it for the third, but it was released just as snell released new requirements for 2010 so the second gen is still snell 2005

The third gen should be flawless and was necessary to update to the new snell rating anyway, I havent seen any new specs or reviews for the new star but to accommodate the new snell 2010 it will most likely be a but heavier than it's previous incarnations.

see now that's a pantie dropper right there!
if that lid cant get you women I don't know what will :D

oh yea; X, your lid should have a magnetic catch for the end of the strap too! unless that was just for the third gen lids
let us know but I am betting it is bad ass, no more snaps of buckles to keep the end of the strap from flopping around.

and mine has square D rings that are a little difficult, I think I remember reading that they went to a more traditional D-ring latter on but can you confirm or falsify that for me when yours arrives?
I'm not sure what generation if any got that update.

xtremelow
11-03-2010, 02:33 AM
Mine wont have the magnet since the RSD is actually a 2009 model year lid not a 2010 when they implemented the magnetic snap. Not to worried as I always tuck my strap up under my ear anyway since I hate having the hoop under my chin. I wish it had the quick disconnect like my Osbe...

Need to make room for one more helmet in the closet until my bike is fixed as I looked out in the garage before I headed out to work and boom there it was, had to cut it open and take a peek before I left for work.

Helmet is simply awesome! Fits like a dream, feels like a quality helmet (unlike some other pricey helmets... Icon, cough cough), and has a ton of function-able qualities.

Your gonna love it, and the fog free on the shield is decent too if you go for a spin on buellchick's bike ;)[up]
But be careful because mine is starting to flake [confused]

And I didn't realize that bag was ogio, I take it that it's more than just a sack as it looks.
I know that my bell came with the best helmet bag I have ever seen (they even included a spare visor pouch that velcroes in!) so yours has got to be even better, with a names like ogio Roland sands and bell all in one I think you have the best buy lid of the year.

xtremelow
11-04-2010, 10:19 PM
Yeah the bag is a little more than a potato sack. It is made of leather, and has a heavy fleece lining. I would have rather gotten the Bell Helmet bag you are talking about, but I probably wouldn't have used it any more than the potato sack anyway :D

I had one of the 1st gen. ZR1 helments and they were cheap in quality and price(79.00) But the new ones like the one above have came a long way. Fit a lot better and pads seem to keep their fit from what I hear.

Hdstn, I was looking at the revolver, good prices and of the same styling as the bell star. I decided to hold off because of the lack of the chin curtain. After you try it out, can you drop us a few lines on what the noise is like inside?

hdstn
04-01-2011, 09:09 PM
I love the way it looks...too bad I gotta wait since they didn't actually HAVE them yet?!!?[mad] Long story, lotta bitching, cancelled order and went elsewhere.

@J_Undisputed...I read that on the webbike review as well. I'm interested as well to see how that plays but a normal curtain would interfere with popping the front open as the button is in the middle of the chin bar at the bottom.

@03Firebolt9R...I felt the same but it has too much that I like and wicked styling not too but that star is pretty slick, nice lid[up]
