    What lids (helmets) have actually PROVEN to hold up best in a crash?

    From experience I'd have to say Shoei, others may be as good if not better but it's the helmet I was wearing when a sweet old lady "u" turned and sent me spinning through the air, helmet took the force of the landing. No damage to head area, missus may argue that lol, and no concussion.

    Suzuki B King what do you guys think?

    Saw one last year when I was in holiday, had to have a closer look and got to speak to owner when he came back, he was touring England on it and loving every min of it. He had dropped it though, spun back wheel accelerating out of a corner so learnt that it's a bike to treat with respect. God...

    Cam Chain Tensioner

    Mega pissed off now, just replaced engine because it let go and the replacement engine with only 7k miles on it is about to do the same, not a cheap part either. Mechanic tells me it's a common fault and one guy has had to replace his five times.

Alongside the Gixxer 1000 I also ran a GSX750F as a work horse but when this died I had to sell the GIXXER to fund a...
