Bobby,
I'm with you on the Gear.... you wear it for the fall...not the fashion....
Right now my helmet of choice is a 3/4 Fulmer.... flat black...
But have been looking at a HD Modular Helmet.... I like the Flames!!!

Thanks Bunkerbeer !
That's the kind of group every group of bikers should be, after all, we're all bikers.
Bobby.

 

Hey cheesecake,
Do you happen to know who makes the helmets for Harley ?
Bobby.

 

I usually wear a Bell Mag 8 now. At speed I flip down the shield but most of the time leave it up.

I have one of the Advanced Carbon helmets. I tried to find the website, but I guess they went out of business... That sucks! Used to be www.carbonfiberhelmets.com

 

You know, that would be a heck of a lot better, and I bet would be more fun to boot.
When I had my Kawasaki Concours14 ABS last year, I joined the Concours14 forum, [http://forum.concours.org/index.php] and ended-up going on a ride to Mount Washington in New Hampshire with a rider from Rhode Island, and two riders from New York. We had a blast, and are still friends today, even though I no longer have my Kawasaki Concours14 ABS motorcycle.
I still visit that forum, as there is a great bunch of guys there.
They say that they are there for the friendship, and not just the motorcycle. I know a lot have sold their Kawasaki Concours motorcycles and have bought another brand, but they still visit the site, talk about the Concours and give advise, and go on rides, even though they don't have a Concours anymore. They don't care what kind of bike you ride, as long as your riding.
I've have gotten a impression that all Harley riders were like my riding friend who I used to work with, but I'm finding out here that isn't true, and that you guys are lot like the Kawasaki Concours forum people.
I know back in the old days, if you were with Harley riders, and rode a Jap bike, you were lucky to leave alive. I've been to Loudon, NH races in the old days, and seen Jap bikes burning and all kinds of crazy stuff out back behind the track. It is that impression of Harley riders that I get with my buddy from work. I guess that's only true with certian people.
I'm glad to have meet you guys and thank you for all your help in welcoming a new Harley rider to your forum.
Back when I rode dirt bikes, from 1968 to 1998, we were all one big group, and there was no seperation on riders because of what kind of bike you rode. We were one big family. I used to do long trail rides every weekend of 60+ miles, and I raced Pro-Motocross from 1973-78. Again, we were all one big family, and would help out each other, even though it might hurt our chances on winning championships. Those were the good old days, and it was a lot of fun.
I don't go out much to ride now, as I'm permently disabled and have taken my 70 year old Dad in to live with me in my one bedroom condo. He came down with Stage 4 Prostate Cancer back in 2000, and they only gave him one to two years to live. His wife divorced him 4 years ago, because she said "He couldn't make her anymore money.", and I took him in to live with me. I gave him my bedroom, and I sleep on my living room recliner. Last Sept. 21st, 2009, he was told that he has AML Leukemia, with only 1 to 2 months to live. He started off getting 2-3 pints of new blood every month, then every two weeks and now every week with sometimes a bag of platelets. He just started getting chemo 4 weeks ago, with him getting chemo 5 days a week for 3 weeks, then two weeks without. He's not doing to bad with that, but last Friday the 13th, I had to call 9-11 for him as he got a temp. of 103* degrees, and if he gets a temp. of 100* degrees+, he can die in one hour. He ended up being in the hospital for a week as it turns out that he got an infection, and that caused the temperture. His chemo takes 5-6 hours to do with the Doctor visit and blood tests beforehand. His new blood tranfusions take 3 1/2 hours per pint, and he gets 2-3 pints each time, so that ends up taking 7-8 hours depending on how fast they are starting the transfusion and changing out the pints of blood. So, taking care of him is a full time job for me. He's lucky that I'm disabled and not working so I can bring him to all these places. I make all his meals, do his laundry, and drive him to whereever he wants or needs to go. He has no money, no life insurance, and no property. I don't have much, but I do have my one bedroom garden style condo, and now my 2000 Harley Deuce. I try and live on only $800.00 per month S.S. Disability. It's not easy let me tell you. I'm glad to have my motorcycle to take some of the stress off me. Even if I don't have much time to ride it, because of my dad, or the New England's changing weather. It's awful nice to meet you guys and be able to talk to you all.
I want to thank everyone here again for all your help, and welcoming me here. I look forward to a lot of discussions with you all.
Take care,
Bobby.

 

Roof Boxer v8

That gives you both full face abd 3/4....

 

They're made by HJC

 

Thanks,
HJC aren't bad helmets.
I didn't know if they were made by somebody you never heard of, as this has been known to happen ?
I'll have to check them out, although I'm sure you can buy a HJC helmet a lot cheaper if it doesn't say "Harley Davidson" on it.
Bobby.

 

This is the helmet that I am currently using with riding my 2000 Harley Davidson Deuce.
It's too big for me now because of all the weight I've lost. [205 pounds in one year.]
So I'm looking for a new one to replace this one that nolonger fits properly.
Should I get another one like this,but one that fits, or something else ?
Thanks for your advise,
Bobby.
