That Ghostrider is pretty bad ass.. I'd rock that helmet. It would also fit into my personal life, since I used to work on jets in the Navy and now I design stuff for military jets.

Yea,I used to think the lights were kinda cheesey but heck,you can always turn them off! My main reason for trying them is the T.O.D.! I've been dreaming of something like that for decades!

Thats a pretty sweet idea. You never have to worry about being out late with your tinted visor. Just hit a button and you're back to clear..

I also often look at helmets that "flip open" to uncover your face but can't find one that I like the looks of or that doesn't sound like a hurricane is in my head at 150mph. I'm a total sucker for features(gimmicks) like the sun shield. Heck,that's why I've ordered the Akuma helmet. It will have a built in battery pac,a tint on demand visor(hit a button and it darkens/lightens),blue tooth head set ,flashing leds on the back and a map reading light in the front! Plus it weighs the same as my HJC AC12 Carbon(supposedly). They have some of the coolest graphics I've seen for a while as well. To include some military themed ones a military brats like us can appreciate. www.akumahelmets.com.

I won't trade the fit and safety fo my Arai for gadgetry....

(and if the cheek pads aren't as snug as they once were, you can order new ones and get that new helmet smell all over again for the fraction of the price!)
