New Lid

[the Ferret]

Been thinking about how classic a white helmet would go with the CB 1100 (and in truth probably easier to spot so safer as well). I have a white open face that I wear on occasion (like when it's over 90 and I don't plan on going near traffic) but my myriad of 3/4, modular and full face helmets are all black. Some of my helmets are getting pretty old *translated to sloppy fitting*) and I have been having a little trouble with the one modular I wear the most, so I decided it was time for a new one.

Saw someone wearing this one on the forum but can't remember who and really liked the looks of it, so rode down today and picked one up

HJC CL Max 2 IS BT. I will never use the BT (blue tooth) part and I remember someone saying the little door would pop off if not siliconed or something. Ring a bell with anyone? Cool max interior. IS stands for internal shield (like a fighter pilot I am). Wore it home, seemed pretty quiet for a modular, and I could actually feel air coming through the top of the helmet vents if I tilted my head a bit. Set up for a pin lock shield, but I didn't buy one. I am a round head shape so the HJC's fit me well. DOT rated (sorry Sea)

I like that, nice clean lines.

I love interior shaded shields, both my helmets have one, not sure I would buy one without any more.
What size helmet is that, the chin part seems kinda wide/tall?

Lots of bang for the buck. I really like the pull down sun visor feature. Good looking too.

Looks good, Ferret! That'll definitely be more noticeable than black. I went with day-glo yellow on mine and constantly get comments on how visible I am.

I got my first modular about a year ago and it has the internal shield. I love that feature.

Nice helmet. I was interested in the HJC but the shape doesn't fit my noggin. I am a big believer in white helmets for safety sakes. Enjoy the new lid!

It's a large Hiker.

I have been wearing a plain white Shoei RF1200, the quietest helmet I have ever worn for about a year. The plain white kinda freaked me out at first, so I put a big AMA sticker on it, now it's not so naked and doesn't look like a giant marshmallow, cooler in those Arizona Summers too

My next helmet will be this one
