Default Should i do it??

well since i have a hard time deciding if im going to buy something or not, i'll ask for your help.

As of now i have always used a Shoei or Arai, but this KBC stares at me all day at work (bike shop) and i sware it calls my name when im not looking <whispers "Jooohn, Loook at me" > what does everyone think? Ive seen nothing but positive feedback on the KBC's so im not really worried about the comfort/quality and safety (in no particular order)

Have a look at the GOOD BUY post - maybe an x11 is within your budget ?
I'm not saying the KBC's a bad helmet, just that the x11's REALLY GOOD, and at that price......

Helmets would be so much better if they didnt have the BIG *** company name branded on them.

I have a KBC and love it. Comfort, fitment, and a quality constructed helmet.

Buy it- I bought this one http://www.compacc.com/prod.cfm/cid/1201001/pid/18368 during the winter but off ebay for $100 and couldnt be more happy with it. I had a Shoei RF-900 before it and I have grown to like the KBC more than the Shoei.

The one you want:
Its on sale here http://www.compacc.com/prod.cfm/cid/1201001/pid/18942
for $99!

I used a KBC (same model, different design) while I was waiting for the insurance back when Foxy 1 was wrecked. They were pretty decent, but I have to admit that I like my HJC Axis AC-12.

[sm=icon_rofl.gif] LOL good one...


That is a good price, maybe a little too good, you might pull up next to Joe Rocket and Icon Boy wearing the same lid.
