My new helmet has arrived!

Five days of waiting was such an agony... but it finally arrives! My new Shark Evoline (Series 2) "Absolute" hybrid helmet direct from KneeDraggers.com in US. Despite the shipping and handling costs and conversion from USD to AUD, it still works out cheaper than buying it here - well, only if I can find it in the shop! Too bad the BMW dealer decided not to import it otherwise they would have made one of their customer happy...

I've been searching for a new "hybrid" helmet for a while already - one that looks good as an open face or as a full face; and found this one. I figured that - since I'll be doing a long travel to The Red Centre, might as well do it in style... heheh... besides, the old helmet is a bit too old already. Safety is the main concern here... really! Now, check this out:

One of the reviews said:

"The Evoline is now one of our favorite helmets, so much so that we gave it a special mention as the "Most Improved Product of 2008" in our 4th Annual webBikeWorld Motorcycle Product of the Year Awards."
-WebBikeWorld.com-

"The Evoline was one of the most anticipated helmets of 2008 (this was review for Series 1; mine is Series 2!) and it's also one of the most unique helmets to arrive on the scene since, well, since the radical ROOF Boxer (review), which is still going strong and to which the Evoline pays homage."
-WebBikeWorld.com-

It can be used as a full face too:










And it comes with an internal tinted visor... cool... :-)
