What's your favorite helmet?

I got rearended while on my bike a few weeks ago with the little excess in funds I'm receiving from the ordeal I'll be buying a a new helmet.

My old helmet was black, and I think that's part of the reason the guy didn't notice me in front of him. So now I'm looking for a brighter helmet with graphics, hopefully I'll be more noticeable!

I've got a blue '03 R1 and I'd like to get a helmet that compliments it. I've got my eye on the X-eleven model but am open to other suggestions.

So far this is my favorite:

What do you guys like?

Thanks

I have a Suomy Spec1R and it is the best helmet I've ever owned. I tried putting my HJC on the other day and it felt like a brick on my head :lol

Basically, I think if you pay a decent amount for a helmet it will be a good one. (Suomy/Arai/Shoei etc)

I have the Capirossi replica. I like it a lot, but those plastic protections on the side tend to fly when i hit the highway.
Am i going too fast? :crash

I hope the Arai turns out to be the best, I'm waiting for my Hayden rep to pop up in the big-brown truck any day. I was <this close> to picking up a Bostrom Extreme rep, but I've got a big melon, and the Arai seemed to fit just that small fraction better.

I'm going to start selling these on Ebay I think I could get about $50 a pop for them so I should make a killing.

The bowl is about $6 and I can cover about 200 helmets with a $6 roll of duck tape.

What do you guys think?
I think that pic explains alot. :lol

It'll be awhile before you live that one down. It's gonna come back to get you :eek:wwn3d
