I've been given a bike course at work!!

Three weeks in June riding around the south of England learning the art police biking.....Roll on the Summer!! The only draw back is that it's on a BMW

I do have a question to ask, however, for anyone in the know!

We are issued with Shoei Syncrotech helmets with the flip up fronts. There is one guy I know who has refused to use one due to the moving parts and he has been issued with an Arai Astro J (I think). Are the Shoeis up to the job??

Nice one on the bike course, I think there are alot of people who'd like to get onto something like that.

Not completely sure about the Shoei, but I have heard good things about the syncrotech.

The Shoei Lids are superb

They are the only helmets (which flip) which have actually been designed as a 'full face' helmet that opens, as opposed to an 'open face' helmet that closes (i.e. Cabreg Justissimo's etc)

I'd certainly have one (if you get a 'spare'

)

Well done mate..........not jealous at all. No sirreee

Don't worry about the Syncrotecs - they're OK, but the coppers down here prefer the BMW lids that they used to have, and the Nolans, too.

They say the Synch is a bit noisier, but that's the only downside.

I trust that when you've done all the humungous training and assessments you'll be volunteering to instruct on the Bikesafe courses?
