My first cruiser type bike (ive always had sports bikes and super naked's) brought this late last year, just finished customising it, spent a small fortune, alas no money left in the iron heart fund lol.

@ironfadegreg Very cool. I miss my T100. Enjoy

@ironfadegreg you got a beauty there !

60 miles at the Jersey Shore…Jersey gets a bad rap.

Are you saying that NJ gets a bad rap for not having great/cool roads to ride? If so I’m surprised as I’ve never heard anything like that. @Denimhead-0

No, the rap for being the arm pit of America

Got the bike out and back on the road this past weekend. I’ve started to commute on it and the morning rides are chilly here. 5 layers to go to work and 3 layers coming home. Not complaining as I’m happy to be riding again.
Does anyone have any experience with the Shoei Neotec 3 helmet? I need a new helmet this year and this is the helmet I keep coming back to look at. Would love to hear any real life experience with this helmet.
-
@Denman-John Can’t go wrong w Shoei, I had a Shoei RF-SR, it was solid, a little loud, good vision. I hear good things about the Simpson Speed Bandit.
-
@Denimhead-0 @Denman-John Those Shoei neotec 3 helmets are SICK. super nice but super pricey!
I have a Simpson for the super cold weather, but I much prefer my 3/4 helmets for feeling, visibility, and mobility. The discontinued "Bandit"

@WhiskeySandwich Same, I struggle w the visibility on full face.

I got tired of the wind noise of open face helmets…it wasn’t bad for a quick trip across town, but after a few hours and it seriously messed with my hearing. Only wear full face now. I like Arai as it fits my head shape better.

I had an Arai helmet that I loved,but once I started wearing flip up helmets I landed on Nolan,which I felt was the best of both worlds.They’re pretty visibility conscious in their overall design. At the end of the day it comes down to which one is the most comfortable,as all the top level helmets will protect you. I had one black helmet and once I got a white one,especially in the Summer,it’s was significantly cooler.
-
Thanks guys for your input. I ended up ordering a Shoei Neotec 3 this morning. I’ve been using a Scorpion Exo modular helmet for the past 5 years and it’s time for an upgrade. I ordered a white helmet for the same reasons @Jett129 mentioned - cooler in the summer. This will be my first non black helmet and am looking forward to trying something different. I’ll post pictures when it arrives.

I wanted to be flash so I've got a carbon fibre HJC modular (which is super comfy, can wear it all day without taking it off) but the Neotec is the king of the modular helmets.
Modular is the best option IMO, especially dual homologated. Open when I'm going slow, closed when I'm going a bit quicker and need the protection. I don't struggle at all with visibility, but I learned with closed face helmets.

I get a new Daytona Cruiser every couple years since my helmet get thrown around and abused a lot. IMO, they're the best-buy for 3/4 helmets. They're cheap and actually cool-looking cuz they're pretty slim but still have a DOT certification. They're pretty oval-shaped, which works well for my chrome-dome. I find most helmets to be too round. I usually stuff some foam into the earholes to help with the wind noise, but its true, visorless is louder.
