Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #2Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #1 Not tried that model but I tried to use my old full face helmet last week to ride to work. A Shoei XR1100 (RFxxxx in US). I hated it, felt claustrophobic. Might just be the XR, an old design with a much smaller visor aperture. I think it is probably modular designs, only, for me now... |

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #4 I don't know about the Neotec 2, but my last and current modular helmets were "dual homologated" and passed lots of safety tests. Basically means the front can be "locked" in the up position, should you desire that. And having ridden in nearly 40 degree heat, it *is* desired from time to time... Cheers Paul B. PS: This page says the Neotec 2 *is* dual homologated. https://billyscrashhelmets.co.uk/tag/dual-homologated/ |

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #7 I just don't go through life worrying about such things. Same as when I walk down a road, I don't worry about a bus driver having a heart attack and the uncontrolled bus mowing me down. Same as when I ride on public roads at well over the speed limit. I am aware of the risk but choose to ignore it. I ride a motorcycle for pleasure. Sometimes that involves riding with the chinbar raised as it enables me to enjoy the view better or makes the ride more comfortable. The speeds involved in this situation are likely to be low which in itself lowers the risk of a collision and also takes away much of the effect you seem to be worried about. I have plenty of other stuff that life throws at me to cause anxiety. Riding a motorcycle with its inherent risks actually helps manage those anxieties through a number of mechanisms, physical and emotional. Now, if you want an ontological discussion about motorcycling or an epistemological discussion about safety evangelism, please start another thread rather than hijacking an informational post. |

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #4 I had a car turn left into me once when riding a 200 CC Yamaha scooter. I was wearing a BMW System 1 modular helmet and thankfully had the chin bar locked down even though I was in town about 1/2 mile from the house. The face shield and chin guard had some nasty scratches and grooves. Shit can happen, even close to home. Everyone has the right to make their own safety choices. Mine is to always wear a helmet and put the chin guard down.

I just hope you like the neotec 2, as that is a really good price. I bought one in matte blue last year, loved the ventilation and the integrated comm unit, but for me, it was too noisy. |
