Shark S800

[minimorecambe]

Does anyone know if this helmet is ACU standard?

I have one but it has no stickers on it as I took them off. It is signed by the TT racers so is not in use and is for show purposes.

I do like it though so would like another.

Great :) Thanks for that :)

Just to find one in a medium now then!!!!

Don't know about the ACU, but Cumfy tested his s800 recently.

Worked very well.

So did I . Great helmet.

Check out Ebay, I got my replacement for £27 including a dark visor.

EYah have tested an S800 myself :-(
Great lid, hardly a mark on it, and thats after my head landed on the tarmac before anything else!

Got another with no hesitation.

I love my S800, but I have to wonder if I got a shoddy one... The top vent on mine is knackered and has been since about two weeks after I got it and the visor has a tendency to flip one click open when doing lifesavers at speed - ie joining a motorway.

They seem to fit my head well tho - so I'll probably buy another one when the time comes. :)

[minimorecambe]

Well it doesnt look like anywhere has a white one in medium :rolleyes:

[Berlin]

The blue one is a grand colour match to your bike (see avatar)! and I'd have the Union Jack one if I was buying again.

[minimorecambe]

Yes but I need something girly on the bike!

Not a fan Im afraid.

I do want a mostly white helmet though.
Havnt got too many pennies as it will be my 3rd helmet!

[dyzio]

So what's wrong with the other 2?

[minimorecambe]

One of them is signed so I dont wear it and the other is black.
I want a white helmet for winter for safety reasons

Phew, thought you'll say both of them are signed or some special editions.

By all means make yourself visible, but don't rely on the fact that if you have a white helmet, people will see you. Personally, I'd stick with the black one.

Here's me, hehe

Lol.
Yeh I won't rely on the helmet but it makes me feel brighter (not in the mind sense!)

I work 12 hour shifts so go to work in the dark and come home in the dark in autumn \ winter

I presume your headlight works?

And white isn't a visible colour against a grey sky. As you're higher than the driver then they'd see it agist the sky.

But then they'd be too busy patying attension to your headlight or hi Viz vest to notice.
