Here's mine

Like the punisher, nice helmet. Is that A specific city?

Its the Chicago Skyline. I need to take a better picture from the back of the helmet.
My wife gave it to me for our 1 year anniversary. Knew I married the right girl. :D
 
tf1182, how much does the mask move around at higher speeds with the rufus?

As noted above I have the tornado and I feel the only down fall is the mask movement. But once I get my other mask in the mail I am going to try something that will hopefully eliminate the problem.
 
It catches the wind pretty good. The first time I took it on the highway, it pushed my head back haha. I'm used to it now. You'd think a helmet that looks like a fighter helmet should be aerodynamic haha. What are you getting that will eliminate it?
 
I have an extra mask coming in the mail and my plans are to simple use gorilla glue or zip grip to glue the face mask(also have an extra shield) to the bottom of the sheild inside the little lip of the mask which should allow for no moveminet at higher speeds.
 
I roll in this with a smoked visor...flat black matches my Pegasus graphics and soon my primary cover ;)

Looks like your helmet would have enough lift to pull you off the bike

How does that do on the highway?
 
well that was my only concern but I shopped around the "adventure touring/supermotard" style crossover helmet is newer and wicked looking, unique like a Buell. So anyway naturally Shoei had the one with the best review on everything including lowest airfoil effect from the visor. I don't have any problems unless its a blustry day, and on those days the whole bike is getting blown around so no big deal. It's worth the "what the?" looks it gets ;)
 
only1reds,

How long have you had that X11? What are your opinions on it?

I just got one, and so far I'm lovin it. I can already tell the air flow is going to help so much this summer.

I started with a medium and it had a LOUD whistle and also felt a little loose. The small is a little tight, but no whistle and I know it will break in and get more comfortable.

I've had the X11 for about 6 months. I love it. Had a SUOMY Gambler Extreme prior to this one, too big. I felt like I was a spaceman.

With my X11 I hit the highway, and IMMEDIATELY cool down, love it. I have a medium, but I wear a fleece ski mask to hold down my Ipod earbuds, so it fits extremely snug.

Overall, I rate it a 10
 
Don't do it dave, was only joking. But loser5403 you need to take a better pic my good sir. I'm not sure what looks worse the hair cut or the darn picture itself ;)
