Re: helmet any good?????????
I have a Caberg Trip that I use most of the time (but yes its a little noisy. I do have the Nolan N42 (open face) as well for when its hot and I'm around town. Who I do like about open face its the much better viewing angles.

Absolutely!!! In my big accident, I did fall face first - fortunately whilst wearing a full face Arai. I don't want to think of the consequences if I'd been wearing an open face helmet.R1K SU wrote:I would never have a half face lid, if you fall off face first, say bye bye to your bottom jaw and nose.

Pardon?

As I grow older, my mind doesn't just wander......sometimes it buggers off completely!!

I currently have the Caberg Konda, very similar to the Justissimo. This is my 2nd Caberg and I find them really good and robust. Maybe slightly noisier than a non-flip front but not by much. Easy to clean, new visors available and of course they come with the intenal dark visor which flips down at the touch of a lever which is great on those sunny evenings when riding into the sunset to live happily ever after (Mr Grump accepted of course
).

Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'!

Re: helmet any good?????????
I hadn't rode a single mile on a bike before making my mind up.
I had to hold somebodies face together until the ambulance arrived after a fairly low speed tumble.
Clocking up serious road miles didn't qualify that guy to say anything, not that he could speak if he'd wanted to.
