My helmet is cool & noisy!
A cool bike needs a cool helmet…
I have 4 helmets lying around in the house, 2 are still in one piece and ware able. But all helmets look a bit “not me”! In my head was the movie “the expendables” where Jason Statham rides a Ducati and has the coolest helmet ever!
A bit of reaserch reveiled the helmet is a Icon Airframe Rubatone with a dark smoke visor. Unfortunately there is no Icon dealer with stock in The Netherlands. After emailing some dealers who told me they would order it for me, but i would have to buy it. That seemed a bit cross, so i took a chance and ordered it on eBay.
After waiting over a month for the helmet to clear customs (USPS is the worst ever!) i could finaly pull it over my head. And it fits, snug like it should! I like the feeling around my ears, they appear to have more room in this helmet.
When i first took the bike out for a spin with my new helmet on it took some getting used to. The helmet is more stable and likes to keep my head straight. My other rounder helmets make it easyer for me to look at the other lanes at high speeds. But a big dissapointment for me is the noise. When i pass 100 km/u the wind noise is a lot more then my other helmets. So today i spent me evening google-ing for add-on’s to make my helmet the best ever.
This is what i ordered, time will tell if it will help:
(Motrax StopWind Deluxe)
When i read some of the reviews a found a solution to my fogging up the screen problem to try, so some eBay shop sold me this:
(Respro Foggy Mask)
Hopefully these add-on’s will let me enjoy my helmet without having to use earplugs, even for short distances!
