I am not some fan of Carlos Checa, but I think this helmet is a work of art.

Beautiful design, one can admire the detail of graphics, the detail of border stamps (they even have one in Russian).

I used the MotoGP black carbon fiber helmet on track in Italy and I loved it, therefore, when I saw discount on the blue one, I bought it.

Blue one has less carbon fiber than black one, so weighs a little bit more.

Still, it's very light (compared to my GT Air), I weighed them both on a scale and the stated 1230g of 802RR (and 1500+ of GT Air) are correct.

Blue one steams up with closed visor in standing traffic even in summer, this does not happen with GT Air.

Ventilation is good though.

I bought a blue reflective visor for the helmet, now I look cool. smile

Cannot comment on the noise because I listen to music when I ride 99% of time.

(Oh, observe my 46 Valentino Rossi T-shirt. tongue out )









And this is how these helmets are made, 10 hours for each helmet!

Loving the Clangers lid.

I was watching that with my lad the other day, explaining the concept of the Soup Dragon to a two year old, and then why he was unlikely to come across one in the real world was a bit tiring.

Then spent ages at the zoo explaining why there were no dinosaurs.

Children are retards.

Off topic we go ....
I was watching UFO the night before last and Mrs DS saw SID and insists that it is the iron chicken.

It comes from a random generated name made by my Xbox. Made me laugh so much I had to keep it. I am neither by the way. Don't judge please

I saw these Marvel lids and thought "that's really well made, but what sort of sad would wear a children's character"

Now I know. biglaugh

My first 'jet' helmet since the early 70s - first naked bike since the same period.
