imagine having a bill on your helmet. This is not a quiet helmet at all above 40 mph. It's basically flat on the front of it, so it's just a big wind block.

Your call, I'd think about it for later though... It's like listening to the car stereo with the windows open and then closing them.

Why don't you use a regular lid when you are riding on road? Are you a poser, Nick?

Because I never know if I am going to end up on dirt. It doesn't bother me at regular speeds. Just when I get on the interstate. I don't try to ride interstate much at all, but decided to do it to test out the Sena tonight.

I'm teasing you! The Shoei is definitely pick of the litter for these types of lids without question.

Yea i know i want the Icon Decay helmet to go with my jacket but i cant afford that right now. Just one thing at a time. And right now its the Scala Cardo G4 then i have to decide on what to do next. Problem is im trying to buy a house right now to lol. Ive got way to many things going on. Oh and my employer is withdrawing Health Insurance from my paychecks even though i never asked for it and they wont stop. So i had to get my Child support office to get their lawyer to fix it for me cause apparently they are taking the health insurance out on my son. Well news Flash he already has health insurance Dumb Fucks i don't need more. Yea so my checks have been cut by 108.63 every 2 weeks for the past 4 months. pissing me off. But when i get that money back i will love it. it will be a little over 800 dollars added to my check lol.

naw youre gonna get like 400 plus loose some of your regular pay for the week that the check comes in, the rest goes to taxes because you will be thrown into a higher tax bracket. But you will get it back when you file in april

HD built in system. Buy it for $22k and they throw in the bike. I shit you not!

I actually tried it tonight with my half helmet headset. It has volume controls for the external bike speakers, music level in headphones if you have that turned on, vol for the intercomm (rider to passenger) and volume control for cb (used for bike to bike). And for truckers if I can get them to respond... couldn't on the way up here for some reason.

Vox control along with PTT for rider and passenger. Oh and the passenger has her own volume controls for all 3 (music,int,cb)as well.

No ill get it all it was already tax deducted it should come to me separate than my direct deposit for my check. And i was told it would be like i was given a bonus so it should just be a written check. but we will see wont we. Personally i think they should sweeten the deal since they were being such ass holes about it and making me have to pinch my budget.
