I'll start by adding mine. This was Norrick Abe copy by Shoei.
This was the top of the line Shoei of it's time. I don't recall the model type.
Maybe someone can fill me in on this.

Very nice man. Certainly the higher end helmets are much more quieter. Although my Shoei is pretty quiet, I still like to use ear plugs for that little bit more.
I don't know how you ride and talk on the phone at the same time. I couldn't do it.
Cheers man.

First Helmet was a Max Biaggi relplica helmet from his 250days when I was 17 and riding my RZ350. Current lid is a nice Shoei think it's call nxr, super light comfy wanted an arai but when I tried them on it didn't fit my head but the shoei is a nice tight fit and the visor is an easy change with nice looking carbon fibre screen mounting latches

SHOEI XR1100 - replica of the best colour scheme:
It's quite noisy, but I have my intercom/music/etc turned way up 'cos I'm half deaf anyway...
ZX9R - it sounds like it'd be hard to do, but in fact it works well and is really easy. The funniest thing is that people who call you have no idea!
"So where are you now?"
"On the bike on the freeway."
"No, I meant like RIGHT now."
....
Heh!

Haha ! yeah.
I always talk to myself anyway.. Cursing those Morons on the road, or to the little guy in the back of my head telling me to take it easy..

I got one of these for Xmas..
I usually wouldn't get a poly helmet, but this looked pretty good - better in real life than the pic and has the dual visor thing....

not my initial graphic choice, but its all they had in XL
i suppose the italian colours go with the luigi-express I'm now riding... most comfortable helmet I've owned, and it vents really well.
the checked flag also symbolises my win at all costs riding style
