gotta fix yer first link

**AndyC** · 09-30-05, 07:58 PM

Weird it worked before - -changed it but they only have one L & XL left . I also hear Kneedraggers had them for that price too but don't know what sizes.

Intersport Fashions gave up on the Vemar line in the USA and told it's reps to blow them out.

The carbon street helemt and the dirt helmets were very nice units, just pricey.

**OreoGaborio** · 09-30-05, 09:02 PM

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...............

a shoei medium fits me perfect.........

**mzdagrl** · 09-30-05, 09:05 PM

Hell, if a medium fits you fine, I should be okay with a large. My brain has to be bigger....

editor's note: i wear a youth L (so that means oreos brain is MINI)

**AndyC** · 10-01-05, 06:58 AM

Hey mzdagrl you could go and check them out since the
motoemporium is blowing them out for$275 and they are right in NH.

**bump909** · 10-01-05, 12:24 PM

how is wind noise on these helmets? are these more suitable for just track use?

edit: just found a review of the non-carbon version. looks like a great lid.. i just ordered one. time to give my dad his x-11 back.

btw, ridersinc is out of stock. kneedraggers isn't open on weekends, but i'm hoping they've got a few left.. i placed the order through them.

**WOTEugene** · 10-01-05, 04:17 PM

Anyone know what the fit like compared to Suomy or Arai?

I'm usually a large in Suomy, and a Medium in an Arai Quantum II, or a large in an Arai Quantum F.

**bump909** · 10-01-05, 06:59 PM

from what i read on a vemar review.. they tend to run a little bit smaller. all i know is if this doesn't fit i could probably sell it on ebay for more than i paid for it.

**LowSider** · 10-01-05, 11:24 PM

Any still in stock, anywhere?

**AndyC** · 10-01-05, 11:42 PM

Watch this thread on R1-forum. This is where it started and these guys are good a finding them

**LowSider** · 10-02-05, 12:01 AM

Just because it is cheaper should I buy it?

I do need a helmet but maybe one in a lower price range.
I was looking at the KBC frontflip one.

I will watch that forum though.

**AndyC** · 10-02-05, 05:13 AM

Take a look at the Vemar Chrome series they listed at $450 and now are being blown out at $175ish.

**Ri_De_bike** · 10-02-05, 07:15 AM

anyone give me some info on ECE-R 22.05, this is the new snell rating? from what i've been able to read it seems more like a labeling standard and doesn't have anything to do with saftey?

nice carbon fiber lid btw...... price is reasonable too!

**bump909** · 10-03-05, 08:20 AM

the suspense is killing me here.. waiting for kneedraggers to verify my order.

**bump909** · 10-03-05, 10:30 AM

sweeeet.. just got off the phone with kneedraggers. not sure about the L sizes but they got plenty of XL's for my freakishly large melon. now i just need a nasty bike to match my lid.

**bump909** · 10-05-05, 01:14 PM

andy, did you get yours yet? i should have mine from kneedraggers by late this week/early next week.

thanks for the heads up man!

**AndyC** · 10-05-05, 01:29 PM

Nope I was told it's shipping out this week. I'll post when I get it with pictures

Hey I got a XL , so I guess I have a melon head too

My AGV XR-2 should be here tomorrow

**bump909** · 10-05-05, 02:40 PM

tks babo, a good read, in summary a helmet is better than skin and bone, even the 79.95 one. funny how they rated dot certs near the top of the list....

**bump909** · 10-13-05, 12:33 PM

w00t! mine was delivered today!!

**sanfelice** · 10-13-05, 06:48 PM

well, read this, too:
http://motorcyclistonline.com/newsandupdates/dot2004/

notice that Vemar is listed as part of this group. maybe not this helmet, but another model.

**AndyC** · 10-13-05, 07:08 PM

Yeap that a different model. The VSR one has the new ECE rating.
Well mine came in today.
Nice lid. Carbon fiber weave is real nice. I find that the size is a bit smaller that others. The new AGV XR-2 I just got is a little larger. Here a few pictures.
