Used Review: Arai RX-7 Corsair helmet
Thu, 01 Apr 2010
This is the lid that saved me from a face full of road and stopped a big bacon slicer (a front disc) from carving a canyon in the top of my head.
This helmet was transformed from gleaming white accessory to scrap when I got back from taking the new BMW S1000RR to Morocco.
A pedestrian ran into me from behind a bus and the two of us hit the ground. She’s okay and so am I apart from getting knocked out and breaking my shoulder.
The shell is going back to Arai for inspection. I’m going back to hospital for a check up and the poor S1000RR went back to BMW in a cardboard box.
But no one else is in any type of box so that’s all good then.
