Just picked this helmet up in Atlanta over the weekend. I had a full face HJC Yikes for riding on the Vrod, and it is a great helmet, but I wear glasses, and getting them on and off through the faceshield proved difficult. Plus, the cheek pads on the HJC made me look like a chipmunk. The Nolan N102 I have has the J&M headsets/cord built in, so on the V the cord and mic were just dangling there in the way. I like the flip face helmets better than anything else I've used, so took a look at this one. Rode back (160+ miles) from Atlanta Monday at speeds up to 90mph....the helmet is very aerodynamic, extremely well ventilated, and easy to operate with two fingers. Goes on and off the head without having to remove the glasses, and is very comfortable. I actually think it's vented a bit better than the Nolan, but might be a bit cooler in the winter months. It's a touch more noisy than the non flip HJC, but that's a trade off I'm willing to make. I need to start wearing ear plugs anyway. On the Vrod, a full face is mandatory gear for me...the bike is wickedly quick, and you'll eat a lot of bugs down here in Alabama without a full face on this bike.
