New Helmet... soooooo light - Clothing & Wearables

So i had a little off back on the 15th and the result was a broken collar bone and this.

The bike fared pretty well.  Some scratches and only one broken piece of plastic (left side fairing) and a busted off foot peg.

My insurance treated me really well and I was able to order all new Honda plastics :bliss: but the best part was getting this...

It is the lightest helmet I have ever held or worn HJC RPS-10.  I couldn't believe it when I picked it up.  I am also a Texan and huge fan of Ben so that's a bonus.  Its a numbered limited edition #33 of 1000.  Not to sure that matters much but the thing is amazingly light.  All the reviews I have read say it is really quiet too.  Going to be a few more weeks before I'm all healed up and ready to ride.  I can't wait to try it out though.

Also, I got a new rear fairing and seat cowl, both old ones are barely scratched.  The old cowl has such a small scratch it looks almost perfect.  If anyone is in need of either of these pieces let me know.  Have a great day!

Glad you are healing! Nice looking lid!
  Cheers!

Double plus on the light helmet!  I wear a carbon fiber hat and it is great to have that lack of weight on my head/neck.

Glad your off wasn't any worse........Nice helmet, too.

Nice! It's always great to get up and walk away from a crash, even limping is OK in my book. Kudos on the new helmet, light is a good thing. Looks like it should have great ventilation too, perfect for those hot Texas summers! Double bonus on the Spies edition, I have quite a few friends who are Texans and y'all have some of the most pride in your state, who can blame you, after all isn't it the United States of Texas ;-)

Heal up soon and Happy New Year!

Glad you'll be ok and back on the bike soon.


I'm not usually a fan of the racer helmets but that is nice, I'd buy one! :fing02:

That is a really cool looking helmet! :fing02:    Sorry about your accident, hope you heal up quickly.

So how much does it weight in at?  Light is definitely a good thing.  Means more miles with less neck ache at the end of the day.   :fing02:

I believe my XL is right at 3.5lb.
