Hello, I like the hemet. True about getting a new helmet. I go for comfort. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
Thank you, will take me a bit to get used to it, but I do like it 😎
I used arai for over 20 years and got a Icon from my wife as a present. I like it too.
Wow nice present Mate 😎
I find sometimes the wrong helmet can give me a headache ...and yes comfortable is most important..
Thankyou for checking in, yes the wrong helmet can cause all sorts of pain and discomfort to your head, neck etc. take care mate 😎
My question specifically relates to the colour, black. Do you notice that it's hotter than your previous helmet and does the ventilation compensate for the difference?
When you are riding you don't notice it, when have stopped there is more heat coming from the road, this is because this helmet does not have a chin curtin like my old helmet. The ventilation when riding is excellent. Thank you for dropping by. 😎
Hello from France 😉✌
Hello from South Australia 😃
👍✌
😎 thank you for dropping by
Looks good mate, Comfort and weight for me and i do like a sun visor on my helmets
Yes I would have loved a visor, pity Arai don’t like them 😎. Thank you for dropping by mate.
Well, you picked a really good helmet mate.
Yes, for the most part I love it. Thanks for watching.
Always a big thing changing helmet. I've stuck with Shark despite wanting to try another. The prices are so high though and there's no real way to try before you buy around here.
True, I wish we could try them. I would have loved to stick with the Kabuto but unfortunately was not able to. Thanks for watching 😎
Glad you found one that works for you. You bring up valid points.when purchasing a helmet.
Thank you, so important to get one that suits.
@@MRTPR have you looked into the brake free helmet light.
Yes I saw the brake lights on some helmets and would have liked that one but the helmet did not suit my head 😔
Looks like a great helmet. Comfort and safety are my main priorities.
Spot on mate, thank you for dropping by 😎
Just get some green stickers on it
Yes I am on the look out 😎
@@MRTPR maybe get Monster to sponsor you 😛
How's the aerodynamics?
Video to come 😎
Morning, it looks just fine. Comfort and weight are the main criteria I always check first. 👍
Yes the comfort is great, a tad worried about the weight 😎
Love the new helmet, looks great Tim!
Thank you 😎
Great video!!
Thank you 😎
Great video!!
Thank you 😎
I am on my third HJC previously to them I had caberg make of helmets
Yes the important thing is to get the one with the best fit 😎
Sure would be nice to be able to test a helmet before purchase.
Yes I wish we could, it would be great. 😎
looks good the helmet nice vid mr tpr
Thank you 😎
My Shark evoline helmets have been good to me, can't say about Arai as I have never had one. Wind noise is a factor with me and the evoline 3 is louder than the evoline 2's I have.
Shark make great helmets, I almost purchased one but it didn't fit my head properly 😎
If you are happy with it is all that really matters.😊
Spot on 😎
That's a long time for a helmet
Well picked up Mate, in those 12 years I have has three helmets but all the same brand and the same model 😎
@MRTPR ok that sounds good
Back at you
Thank you 😎
We can be confident but need to realize we are not invincible...
Spot on 😎
Good morning! Good to see you!
Good evening, thank you 😎
Great video 👍 Confidence is a must when riding a bike, but as you pointed out you must know your limits and ride to them at all times. Ride safe 👍
Thank you mate appreciate your comment 😎
Good morning. true you need confidence to ride a bike. I think some have too much an they go too fast. glad your feeling confident. and be careful. I don't feel confident to drive but feel Jim is confident when he is riding. It is a dangerous machine. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
Thank you for dropping by, I always keep my confidence in check. 😎
All on the money man Confidence is key and over Confidence that I see a lot of with new and young riders that ends up not so well for them or a bike.
Spot on mate and happy new year 🥳
A rider has to be confident of his abilities, but has to understand his skill level and not exceed it.
Correct, knowing your abilities and rising within those abilities is the key. 😎
Oh you've absolutely hit the nail on the head there, describing that feeling when everything flows just perfectly, it's an amazing feeling, even intoxicating you could say, this is the point at which you have to bring yourself round to thinking safety. I did an actual double take at 3:20, why? Well when I first went on the Welsh rally, ten years or so ago, I'd been watching Advanced biker and was repeating his catchphrases in my head all day long, now I can't remember if it was one of his for sure but as it was over 17 hours of riding on roads that I did not know, one I kept repeating, especially on those fast looking sweeping bends was don't get cocky, that same word you used there. One that did actually save me was heading home back into England at night that one was "loose the vision, loose the speed". I was on a good straight road but it had two sudden dips together and fog was lying in the bottom of them, I rolled off the throttle through the first then opened up over the next then same thing rolled off through the mist to find a broken down car in the bottom without lights. Like you I have absolute confidence in my bike and what it can do and like you know my skills have a certain level, not the highest I can assure you. I managed to fall off twice last year, both while stopping on strange angles and slopes which caught me off guard, maybe I was just too confident! So in answering your question, yes you can be too confident but experience should bring you back into the realms of safety. Enjoyed that, sorry for all that typing you've just read. Ride safe and happy young man.
Great response as always, yes when everything clicks and you feel connected with the bike is when you need to be careful, but it is such a great feeling 😎
@@MRTPR Oh yes! 🏍👍😁😁
That's a lot of people to get home to. I could not live in such crowd 😁
Luckily I only have one wife 🤣
But not too much confidence .
Yes, good point. Happy new year 🥳
Hey long time no hear.
Thank you for dropping in. Yes has been a long time. Life gets in the way some times 😎
Confident in my machine yes....but I always drive defensively...you never know what is around the next bend..
Spot on mate 😎
It's definitely a balance between under and over-confidence that's needed. That and good observation.
Yes totally agree 👍
Confidence in the right amount is good. However, it cannot protect against morons and SMIDSY drivers? 😱😡
Well put, totally agree 😎
Nice to see ya back out there buddy. Good points you make here. I know my limits, the bike is far more capable than I will ever be. To be honest, WE can be as confident, capable or even over cocky as we like, it only takes someone else on the road to have no confidence/be too cocky/ or under performing that day to wipe us out. It only takes a split second to change our futures. Ride safe guys, and stay safe out there.
Thank you Mate, it is nice to be back. Yes I agree, I think trying to find the right balance, that is being confident without being cocky. Unfortunately we can't control the other variables on the road, like other drivers, riders. Thank you so much for your input. 😎
Confidence is necessary and important. Over-confidence is where the line is crossed into risk-taking, carelessness, and even complacency (as someone mentioned). Great video .. always best to ride confidently, safely, and fully alert. Nice helmet 💚😁
Well put, certainly agree, I do love the green helmet 😎
Completely agree with you, the most important thing is to know your limits. If you feel very good you have more self-confidence as a rider. If you have a bad day or you don't feel well at all, self-confidence disappears by itself. ✌
Well said I agree, thanks Mate 😎
CCR. Competent, confident and ready. :) Nice video TPR, enjoyed. Being in the mood is also important in my option and you also mentioned it. Cheers. Take care bro.
I like it CCR Competent, confident and ready 😎. Thank you for the comment.
@@MRTPR It just came to my mind. :)
You can be over confident on a bike but need to be confident at same time.Good advice about not riding if not in right frame of mind.
Agreed, trying to find the right balance is the key 😎
Morning, sadly the cemeteries are the final resting place for those whose confidence far outweighed their abilities. I’d say it’s better to know one’s limits and ride within them. Great to see you back on the screen. 👍
Fabulous comment Mate, I agree. Nice to be back, thank you. 😎
I do not believe that one can be too confident, but one can be too complacent of their surroundings.
Confidence within your own abilities I believe is good. Complacency is deadly. 😎 Thank you for your input Mate, I appreciate it.
Confidence, Caution and concentration.
Sums it up beautifully 😎
I agree with you Mr TPR. Very easy to get over confident. A hard lesson might knock your confidence back, but a hard lesson might also be too late on a motorcycle. So the key is to control your ego.
Good point 😎Happy New Year, I hope your 2025 is going well 😎
Oh yes overconfidence is a problem with riders. That is about when the universe does a reality check on me. Stay safe and have fun.
Spot on, happy new year, I hope it 2025 is treating you well 😎
Good morning. Confidence is definitely necessary but you always have to respect the bike.
Spot on, mate, you are absolutely right! 😎
Hmmm sounds correct to me TRP.
Cheers Mate
To me too. :) Knowing the limits is crucial. Can check my content when you can, especially the Bandit videos. Cheers. Take care.
I always keep 10% in reserve when I ride. Most of my bikes exceed my abiity which is a good thing. The old line of "Don't let your ambitions exceed your ability" sticks in my head when riding.
Great advise Mate, I hope 2025 is treating you well.
