Steve_M Posted January 17 Posted January 17 (edited) Unfortunately, during our last tour I had a slight mishap and managed to hurl my three year old Shoei Neotec 2 across the road at the Col D’Agnes. A result of tripping and falling* when negotiating a stretch of rough path on my way down from the view point (well worth a visit but not if you drop your lid!). I completed the tour and have had a couple of ride outs with the dropped helmet. Yes, yes, I know, you should replace it immediately . I’ve bought a Shoei Neotec 2 (my third Neotec) and have just spent a happy hour swapping the SRL2 intercom over. The new lid came from Helmet City and cost £300. My good lady’s helmet also needs replacing , being nigh on six years old. Also a Neotec we couldn’t find a suitable replacement at this bargain price, so will be buying her Neotec (3) from SportsbikeShop. £619!!!! I may have to lie down. * I did an impressive roll and break fall, so my good lady told me. I remained uninjured. Addendum, yes, I’ll be using the link from this site when we get around to buying hers. Edited January 17 by Steve_M 4 Quote

Had to google that /ˌprɑː.sə.lɪˈtaɪ.zɚ/ a person who tries to persuade other people to accept a particular religious or political belief, idea, or way of life by all accounts though the do make a great helmet Edited February 2 by V650 1 Quote
RideWithStyles Posted February 2 Posted February 2 lol? Only if it fits and works as the buyer or user wants? if being pessimistic you’ve just confirmed someone elses belief in justification? oh how devil advocate. Quote

Egon247 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Being off the bikes for nigh on 20 years I dug out my old shoei the other week. Was in it's bag, in the loft patiently waiting. For 20 years. Lol. I love it but figured it was probably time for a new one. There's less in my head to protect now I think but who doesn't like lid shopping? Fancied a flip front and ended up with an hjc i90. In colours that match the bike obviously. £225 from j&s Eltham. Just need a working bike and I'm away... 6 Quote
