sorry is there a picture or a mental image? I had better go and see what these lids look like hold on...I see, I prefer it in red. I got one of these bieffes in white, look rather fetching with dark visor (when you eventually source one from an offshore geezer) comfy and a bit different. I think jmo has one too.

and as far as kecks go I eschew all the padded stuff favouring a classic gentlemans leather jean (subtle red/white leg piping optional as is a hint of flare nee "bootcut")of the highest quality. No doubt I will sustain more damage in a spill but its more than worth it if I can avoid power ranger jokes and the bugbear of all bikers "saggy leather crotch just pooped pants" syndrome.
pertly yours.
Alex.
although Im still after some white smx booties to complete the stormtrooper effect!

I've just got myself a VR1 and find it a good helmet indeed, it's a good choice :) It seems pretty streamlined when riding at speed and quite comfortable :D

Check out e-bay! They are selling this lid all the time and it's a fair bit cheaper!!

what you need is a quilted anorak some brown crimpolene kecks and a nice pait of grey brogues.
Alternatively you could go with the duffel coat with turquoise chunky cords.

Nah, if ya want the urban look its gotta be one of the helicopter styled helmets.
Top of the tree is Momo - http://www.momodesign.com/eng/home_eng.html

the Komposit is Fookin gorgeous, but the devil is rather wikkid too.

Another decent priced one is the Roof Roadster, even the Roof full faces can look ok for the Urban look.

And another is the Draxtar P-104 available from http://www.moto-plus-accessories at around 100 quid.

Then all you need is a decent combat jacket that dont fill like a hot air balloon :p
Stick with a decent pair of leather jeans tho and Sidis are compulsory.

Then you gotta get a ****ty stick :D

Hope this helps
