    I took the plunge and bought one of these (the soyouz paint job in mat black and grey). Can't believe how light it is in comparison to my Caberg. Added advantage, it looks pretty cool on

    after going to phoenix motorcycles in trowbridge on Tuesday and finding they haven't got any, I decided to shoot to fowlers in Bristol to try one on,,

    the helmet itself I got on with, as you said very light, but the goggles and guard, what a pina ! once on its ok but a found it a struggle to left up with one hand, and I notice there was one helmet that obviously had been tried a few times, and it was quite lose , can imagine that being fun around 40-50 mph,

    having said that, its def a cool helmet, and I hope you have nothing but pleasure wearing it

    ive tried one and they are comfy until you want to break the law and go a bit 'mad max' ????? then the mask tries to push throughh your face !!!! also you need to buy another visor to ride at night as it only comes with a dark. riding with the mask up over 40 mph and youll have a good neck work out, but they are cool.

    they do do a ful face version which seems a little more strudy, but again dark visor ????

    Horses for courses I guess. Yes, if i'm out to tear down the road then I want the protection of a full face. However, there are days when I fancy a bit of a bimble. On such days an open face, letting a bit of air to circulate, is just what the doctor ordered, especially in the heat of summer. I've got to be honest sometimes I'm in no rush and just enjoy relaxing and going with the flow. Got a feeling the Raw' will come into it's own on those days. It's all a matter of taste and matching the mood...

    You are right mate, looks wise it's the bomb I just felt it was trying to be something it isn't

    As in your prob just as well off in a pisspot with a pair of dirty dogs

    And if I find the right one for a quick cruise down the road I'll get it

    Either way happy biking dude

    Forgot to follow up on this

    http://www.jafrum.com/Motorcycle-Hel...elmets/115Matt - DOT german

    http://www.jafrum.com/Motorcycle-Hel...s/100FlatBlack - DOT shorty/half

    Not really legal here but worst I've had for a blatant plastic novelty is a boring roadside safety lecture, DOT ones should have a proper liner comparable to 22.05 lids. £50 shipping is a killer though

    Got out today for a bit and decided to wear the new Shark Raw helmet for the first time. Was worried it might have been a little cold for an open face but I was very pleasantly surprised. The goggles did an excellent job of keeping cold air away so no annoying teary eyes. Also the helmet was extremely comfortable, offering head mobility only dreamed off in my Caberg full face. All in all, very happy with the purchase.
