Well, I finally broke down and bought my first "high-end" helmet. You know, Shoei, Arai, Shark, Suomy, etc? In no way am I dogging lower-priced helmets since I own 2 HJC CL-15's and a Scorpion EXO-400 and love all three. But, I read somewhere that my favorite all-time Shoei replica helmet had been discontinued and I figured if I didn't get it now, I'd never get the chance to. It didn't hurt that it was on closeout AND I found a $20 off coupon online.
So without further ado...I give you...
The Shoei X-11 Lawson Replica:
Holy moly, I didn't know what I was missing!!! This thing is INCREDIBLE, right out of the box. I usually wear an XXL in all other helmets, but went with the XL in the X-11 after a test-fitting and it couldn't fit better! I've got a feeling there won't be ANY break-in period.
The thing that struck me right off the bat was how freaking light it is. I mean, I didn't think my Scorpion was bad at all, but compared to this thing it feels like a bowling ball! The paint and graphics are flawless, everything is in proper working order, as it should be, and I couldn't be happier.
BTW, I apparently got the last one Motorcycle Superstore had on closeout. MSRP was $692.00. It was marked down to $399 and I found a coupon on their site for $20 off any order over $200. So, all told, it was $379.99 and free upgraded 1-3 day shipping. I ordered it on Friday 2/13 and it arrived, halfway across the country, today 2/18. I can't beat that with a stick!
So, I just wanted to gush about my new lid. It's a LOT prettier than I am and a LOT lighter! LOL! I guess the only bad thing now is that I won't ever want to go back to a cheaper helmet! Oh well...
Carry on! :rockon:
