Went Retro with the Bitwell Gringo S. I found a local Bay Areas shop that had them in stock so I was able to try them on. Happy with it so far.

Great looking bucket. Would you say its round, oval or neutral in shape ?

The top part is round.

Found this Shoei Qwest with some high viz yellow on it deeply discounted online. Fits great but seems a little loud at highway speed but I don't have anything to compare it to.

cool pic with all the reflections but no reflection of a photographer. Selfie stick?

I was thinking less of the 221B Baker Street kind of pipe and more of the 420 Baked Street kind.

One of the best lines entered anywhere, ever. :rofl:

Yup - if you look closely, next to the reflection of the bike mirror in his faceshield, you can see the camera and stick. Clever guy...I'm always trying to stretch my cellphone out at arm's length from me!

Yes. If you look closely at the reflection in the visor you can see it.

I've probably made mention of what a huge Shoei fan I am enough already, so I won't wax poetic about the brand again here.
Here's my current collection...from left, a "basic black" RF1100 (the mirror shield is just a back-up, I swap a smoke shield between the two RF1100s), the matte black and white checkered racing stripe RF1100, white Qwest (excellent for the upright position of the CB1100), and the wine NeoTec modular (my "bike-matching lid" - also excellent on the CB):

The AGV Rossi "Celebr8" edition, in honor of his 8th world championship. I don't wear this one; I'm not really a race-replica kind of guy, but being a big Rossi fan, it was an impulsive "collector" purchase. Nice looking helmet, though, and super lightweight.

The GT Air that I sold a few months ago. Coolest helmet I've ever owned...and also the only Shoei in 35 years that just didn't fit me at all. Changed the cheek pads, waited for the pads to "wear in" (like the salesperson insisted it would ), etc., just always felt like some part of my head was being squeezed in a vise like a scene out of a Three Stooges episode. Oh well.

Very cool MTC.

That is wild looking Sea. That forehead scoop looks like it would draw some air and maybe the pointy part in the back create a vortex to pull it through?

That's the intent of the venting, but we will see how it works in real life and at less than 100mph. The front vent is supposed to vent through holes in the cheek pads, too, adding even more air flow. The overall shape of the shell should be more stable at speed and with smoother airflow comes less wind noise, or so they tell me. Test run tomorrow or Sunday.

That looks cool something out of Battlestar Galatica.

^^ LOL True. It doesn't look quite as radical when it's on my head.
