Have you taken it for a ride yet?

My wife and I have the same ( model 67 I think). Though we both opted to replace the little visor with the full face clear shield ( come with it). The full face shields can be replaced with tinted shields, I got one of those but it is too dark most times, so I stick to clear.

the only "issue" ( I have that in quotes because its not really).. is that:
If the full shield is down
If you drop it
If it falls on the lower lip of the shield
Then it tends to beak not only the shield but also the mechanism that supports the shield. Fortunately, it can be replaced ( by the user) and does not even cost all that much.
They should have made the support parts more beefy so that the shield breaks and not the supporting parts.

PS: it works REALLY well with the built in headsets we bought!

Nah, it is only 31* here today. I'll wait until it is at least 40*

Pine, it is a model 67 and I got the clear face shield with it. I had on on my old helmet, but really didn't care for it that much, like the breeze in my face. I'll probably try it out though, just to see.

Yep Stew, free sunglasses, the wife likes that. But she will never wear the helmet. Go figure.

And Bot, I really enjoyed watching TV with it on. Maybe I will try it on the motorcycle some day.

Yep, that was a nice present. Santa said I was a good little boy!

Reply #13 - 01/16/15 at 11:30:00 Finally got to take the new hat out for a ride. I really like it, fits a little different than my old helmet, this is not necessarily a bad thing. The slide down sunglasses work really well and seem to cut a lot of the wind noise off as well. I am pleased!

Oh Yeah, Rub it in......YOU got to go for a ride!

I went out this afternoon and marked up a parking lot for paving bids, the work will be done in the spring/summer. It was the first time in he last month the parking lot was not covered in snow....or the wind was so strong that the spray paint would blow away before it hit the pavement!

Glad you like the new helmet.

I got a new leather jacket from my wife, and my sister knitted me a wool thingy to cover my neck when it is cold.
