maybe you could turn one upside down and pot flowers in it. Then hang it by the strap ouside your door like a hanging plant thinggy.

Not planning to buy one. But Its made me wise up to buying helmets on ebay. Just didn't think there are fake copies out there.

Bear in mind that they'll probably be copies of the asian Shoei helmet sizes and shell shape - which is completely different to the ones made for the european market.
They come out a much smaller fit than the ones you can buy here. If you're a medium in euro sizes, you may find that you need to go two sizes bigger or more if you by an asian lid. Same applies to buying imported lids on ebay. Jo |

I just got my X-Spirit.
It feels a bit dodgy as its a lot lighter than my budget lids and you can't imagine it offering as much protection. |

With the new carbon composites used to make helmets the weight have reduced significantly. |

The X Spirit is one of the lightest lids on the market.That's one of it's major selling points so if you bought one you seem to have missed the main advantage.

If you handed it to a layman along with my old Nitro helmet and said one of these cost £300 and the other £50 then they would all bet the Nitro was the £300 job! |
