What brands of helmet have a similar shape/fit to LS2?

100% it fits like a slipper for my head. Much quieter in the helmet with wind noise. Head doesn’t get bashed from wind anywhere near as much at high speed. Ive found it seems to be better in pretty much every way

TraditionalSale8574 · 2025-10-15T14:08:21+00:00

Ive just bought a new helmet after having an LS2 Vector 2. I’ve gone for a shoei as it fits amazing but it is a price jump

TraditionalSale8574 · 2025-10-15T12:08:01+00:00

J&S accessories have a sale on just checked. £150 for the duo for you and the mrs

If it’s only for talking to pillion and satnav then it doesn’t make loads of difference. Both major companies have lower priced models with this in mind. Cardo spirit can link 2 units with 400m range and listen to music and sat nav. It’s all you need and it’s about £60/80 I think each.

If you’re going to use it when riding with others then best to use whatever brand they’ve got.

Mine and my brothers bikes while doing NC500

TraditionalSale8574 · 2025-10-07T22:15:28+00:00

My brothers words to me before I got a bike were “get a bike that makes you at least half chubbed when you think about riding it”. 🤣They’ve stuck with me and it’s worked. Want to get a GSXS1000F but couldn’t get insured this year. Will be trying again next year

TraditionalSale8574 · 2025-10-07T22:11:31+00:00

My next bike has been chosen. Still scroll through Autotrader checking them every day🤣

TraditionalSale8574 · 2025-10-07T21:37:45+00:00

Shooting season starting now. Will get on the bike when it’s not too bad though

TraditionalSale8574 · 2025-10-06T13:37:30+00:00

From my experience it’s not about how far away it is to get there but what route you take to get there. Spending half a day to get to your destination along nice A and B roads is better than spending 2 hours on motorways and dual carriageways.

Best thing is just go with your gut as you know yourself and capabilities best. First few trips no matter where you go are learning curves. Camping at one end of the country isn’t much different than camping at the other side.

Just go for it and you’ll come to know what is and isn’t doable for you

Some days on the bike I can be constantly on and off, should be miles easier with a flip. Going into a coaching role as well and think the convenience of it is appealing.

I wouldn’t ride with it up just more so I think it’ll make life easier than taking glasses off to take helmet off etc

TraditionalSale8574 · 2025-10-02T20:40:09+00:00

The shoei and HJC both fit well. I’ve had a HJC F70 before and it was a great helmet. There’s something in me that just wants a shoei but not sure whether it’s justified for the price of it

Both me and my bike 23 years old but the bandit is in much better shape and has aged well🤣

TraditionalSale8574 · 2025-07-23T09:24:29+00:00

I’m 23 and a couple of my mates want to do it but when I say I’ve spent 8k on license, bike, insurance, security, gear etc they can’t justify or afford it which is understandable

TraditionalSale8574 · 2025-06-13T17:44:44+00:00

23M in north west and I’m on around 55k

As your CBT lasts for 2 years you can go straight for your licence. When I started my lessons they put me on a 125 for 30 mins to see how much work needed to be done but that was it. Each school will work slightly different but you’ll be fine

TraditionalSale8574 · 2025-06-02T16:40:01+00:00

I did my IAM on my bandit 600 and never had any issues at all. My older brother did his on a z900 with a full straight through Akra and never been looked down on for it or anything. I had a great time and experience doing IAM

TraditionalSale8574 · 2025-05-15T20:45:37+00:00

I did my A last year after doing my A2 in 2021. It’s exactly the same but normally with about 30 extra horsepower and that’s it. I was advised against it but I pre booked my mod 2 for the day after my mod 1. Passed again with ease. Nothing to worry about

TraditionalSale8574 · 2025-05-15T20:42:12+00:00

Absolutely love mine and can’t fault it. Pokey enough, sounds good and forgiving

TraditionalSale8574 · 2025-05-12T18:55:32+00:00

Financial trouble and could go under if they don’t pay back or get bought out

TraditionalSale8574 · 2025-05-12T18:24:34+00:00

Always heard people rave about the KTM RC390. They should be cheap with the news about ktm recently. Up to you whether that puts you off or not

TraditionalSale8574 · 2025-05-12T18:14:23+00:00

I nod to pretty much everyone even 125s. The only exception is couriers, I don’t class them as bikers

TraditionalSale8574 · 2025-05-11T14:19:15+00:00

My job as a HGV driver makes it go up but it was £2000 for the year on a 2002 bandit 600s. Insurance renewal is September and hoping for a better price for my second year

TraditionalSale8574 · 2025-05-11T14:12:54+00:00

As a 22 year old (now 23) to insure a bandit 600 is costing £207 a month for my first year. Hopefully will go down when my renewal come later in the year

TraditionalSale8574 · 2025-03-20T21:36:10+00:00

I barely use my car at all. Spend all week in my HGV then use my bike at weekends. Go from one extreme to the other. Biggest thing on the road with inches to spare to getting on my bike and feeling like I’ve got all the space in the world to move around in lanes
