I've got a Shark s500 air in white with a clear visor for everyday which is about 8 months old.
A AGV airtech tribute in yellow, with a black visor for sunny days/rideouts, thats a bit newer.

ARAI ASTRO R HASLAM REP but the wifes promised me a new one early next year as it'll be 4 years old then. will almost certainly get another arai,or even the agv gp pro rossi rep

I've got a agv stealth thats about 2 years old but its only been used since I got back on bikes in Jan. its used all the time for work so now needs an new visor and fog city. I want to buy a new one and keep the agv for work as I cannot get the intercom earphones in to use when matts on pillion as they crush my ears. I quite like the arai tour x3 at the moment

Matt has a lazer which he has used about 6 times and will need replacing as he's growing too fast Kids eh!

Liking this people, very interesting about the old lids.

The reason this came about (apart from the heated debate a few days back) was that i vaguely remember my brothers kit ontop of the dresser when i was about 9 (1989); i don't recall the brand-names - but it was a white late 80's full face (AGV... FM no idea), & late 80's white 1 piece leathers with red stripes (the type with no armour) i think at the time he was riding a gsxr 1100, which eventually got bent around the bonnet of a car that pulled out on him.

Just a bit of nostalgia i wanted to share, and get some of you guys thinking about.

2 year old black,grey,white arrow colour scheme AVG TiTech (no, not in Rossi colours ) - fits perfectly and my first lid that doesn't mist up.
5 year old plain black Arai Quantum F - good and comfy.
In the attic my first helmet, a black and red Nolan - bought second hand in 1985 so its at least 23 years old and is a bit on the loose side. Does come with its own built in 'foggy' mask, something modern helmet designers seem to forget. No, I wouldn't use this helmet again but have to keep it just because......
Had lots of other helmets over the years, but thats the only ones I keep at the moment.

mykee

My main helmet is a plain Black Arai RX7 Corsair. It's very noisy, but it's also light, comfy, very well vented and it fits me perfectly. I also have a black visor on it that looks the biz.

Bought an Arai signet-gt cathcart 2weeks ago. Went to George Whites at Swindon to get it in the sale.It is advertised for £380 reduced to £99 & is black with a union flag down both sides.Not only a bargain, it goes nicely with my Tiger 1050 .

I forgot, I also have an fm helmet I bought about 9 years ago for kart racing, and the previously mentioned hjc with a big crack in it, shaln't be using that one again though

HJC FG-15 in gloss black with black visor

Very good lid for the money and the visor release is fantastic although the visor steams up when stationary or under 20mph (what better incentive to keep going!). Overall a very good fit.

Started out with a Arai Freddie Spencer replica which was a great lid. I used to think I could ride like him whenever I had it on which was clearly not the case.

I've got an Arai RX7 Corsair Nicky Hayden Laguna rep, not a Hayden fan, just like the camo!

Had an 1999 AGV Rossi Mugello rep, it was lairy and i was young!! Used it for car track days mostly until someone offered me £80 for it for their collection of merchandise, which i was quite pleased with!

A Vemar red and black thing, don't know what model but had it about 5 years and its due for replacement sometime over winter funds allowing..........
