Thanks for views re pillion performance. Does any one have advice re best crash helmets. I am currently thinking of buying an Arai Freeway (open face) or Chaser (full face)

Thanks Very Happy

the chaser is a very nice lid and my arai just allowed me to walk away from crash several BIG chunks missing glad i paid good money now.
open face !!!!!!!think about why you wear gloves etc and then think how your face will feel after a tumble.(they dont look cool anyway). your GTS is way to fast to consider...

open face............ face plant = no chin, hello teeth Shocked

full face, much better esp arai Cool

have yo considered a modular helmet????

best of both worlds, nice and safe whilst on the move, pop it open to have a quick chat at the lights, quick smoke or pay for petrol Cool

i've just got a shoei multitech, superb, there are plenty of other modulars helmet out there caberg trip is another popular one (arai don't do one)

open face = better visibility, less weight on neck, but you takes yer chances.

unless you wear full leathers, kevlar everything, big boots/gloves etc etc etc people will always be able to say you're an idiot who's risking your face/hands/legs/back, but its up to you to decide the balance between convienience and safety, I prefer open face in london traffic but if I did a lot of motorway miles I might reconsider, and its been a while since I tried a full face to be honest (hated them at the time)

I've got an Arai RX7 corsair, best helmet I've had, fits great, light. A little bit pricey, but you get what you pay for! Definitely Arai or Shoei for me...
