  1. I did 90mph on the freeway with mine and it actually does just fine, unless you start trying to look into the sky (why would you)

    it's fine for highway riding.

    I think the strap sucks big time, it's further back then all my other helmets, and rests on my throat.

    So it won't be used for riding, but 100mph I don't see it being too bad, the plastics to the wind without

    even vibrating.

  2. Reactive armor yes, Doubtful on the ghost needing to be updated, and that the Ghost sat at 13$ at HLJ for years.
    One license question answered, and another looking really bad... yikes.

    In for both, obviously, so much sleeker and badass.

  3. wat? Rise of Cobra was effing terrible LOL!

    Nothing even close to the original, which in this case might be better. I don't want the Macross

    Saga ruined by western Hollywood style cheap plot lines, over the top romance, and too many names, not enough story.

    At least this means Mcguire is out, that's at least one bullet dodged, out of a 12 round auto-mag.

  4. you can make the front face guard stronger with steel insert or carbon fiber.

    I hope you're a structural engineer than, because it's not that simple.

    They designed the front face guard to go over the helmet's plastic visor, so the visor will block the top edge of the front face guard from cutting into your face on any basic impact like a fall. The outer pieces are just added for looks and will definitely break on impact, but it's the original helmet that everything is added on around that's supposed to protect your head during impact and is DOT approved. People wear only these open face helmets without any addons all the time and do pretty well when they come off their bikes. The visor is definitely part of the protection these open face helmets require to be of any use. But just as the warning label and any helmet manufacturer states: "NO helmet can protect the wearer from all impacts."

    Maybe Masei or one of the many owners can make an impact video with one of their bum helmets to study the results of an average impact with one of these helmets.

    DOT... lol

    DOT certification, however, is less regulated. The manufacturer performs their own tests and determines whether their helmets are DOT approved. Even though the manufacturer doesn't have to report their findings, the government does occasionally conduct limited tests or spot checks. Nevertheless, allowing each company to test their own equipment and not make them report their results means that the DOT certification is done by the honor system.

    Be careful guys, it's your life.

  5. Why do you even come here? You didn't get a toy you wanted, so everyone that likes it is an idiot? I've got news for you, you aren't Bandai's customer. The toy released while you were asleep because it wasn't for you, and if you really wanted it, you would have been awake for it.

    He hasn't figured out that they only make these to sell to Japan customers. We are lucky to get any at retail.
