I have a 4 year old Bell Cobra Gillies. I love it. It's starting to look a little threadbare. I want a new one, but they only make boring ones now.
I have an older HJC CL 16 for colder weather. My friend just lent me a Schuberth to try. I doubt I would spend that kind of money on a FF, I enjoy a 3/4 helmet. My friend with the Schuberth rode with no helmet for decades, now he's feeling his mortality.

I wear either a Fly Trekker dual sport helmet or HJC full face. The dual sport visor is kind of nice to block sun, and doesn't really catch the wind as bad as you'd expect.

Just picked up the Scorpion AT950. What a great helmet. It's my first modular helmet and wish I had done it sooner.

[QUOTE=fxdx1985;16328226]I'm gonna be the spelling ****...you said "Bell Rouge" multiple times when I think you meant "Bell Rogue". Rouge is the pink **** that goes on drag queen's cheeks.
ha ha that is funny no matter who you ate. Hey maybe his spell check is the culprit

Good timing for this as time to start looking.
I started with a Harley 3/4 but only wore it for about a month, I have a tiny head so it looked super goofy. Then I started to shop around and actually research what I wanted.
The past few years I've been riding 99% of the time with a Nolan N103 modular. It's really comfortable for my size, but not a quiet helmet. I also put the basic Ncomm system in it so that I can listen to music or take calls if I have to. I like the simplicity of just having an up and down button, speakers inside the helmet are ok quality.
Since I live in the desert and enjoy temps regularly over 105, I do own an Akoury AK88 half helmet, but to be fair I rarely use it. Sometimes if just heading into work which is about 2 miles away and if I'm not going any distances. I have it set so that it doesn't lift with wind and such, I just prefer the comfort of the full helmet.
The Nolan is pretty beat up though, time to start looking.
