Bought a flip-up lid

Just bought my 1st flip-up lid.
always thought they were just for couriers, but fack ive changed me mind

Ride round with the front up and you can hardly tell you've got it on,
the visability is unreal. then click it down and enter full race mode unk:

its also easier doing everyday shit like putting cash/keys in your pockets and paying for petrol.

heres the one i bought.. bargin:

best thing is you can have a smoke while riding

 

If it wernt for the fact there blatantly shit in comparison to a full face in the event of a crash, id proberly have one for the ease of use.....they do look a bit weird aswell though. I should try one really.

 

i basically never take mine off when im out on the bike there comfotable and ye good for having a fag while driving although a fag will last ten seconds when driving along

 

The one i bought has a 4star sharp safety rating (must be with
the front down though)

 

I've got a Caberg flip up, and it's really comfortable and handy for paying at petrol stations, but I do find the wind noise really loud above 60, probably because of all the nooks and crannies associated with the hinge.

 

I have a caberg flip too. I love look of cabergs n it has internal flip visor - summertime I used to love riding with front up but internal tinted visor down.

Theyre slightly bulkier than std lids though.

 

i got told by a traffic officer that cabergs arent road legal while the fronts flipped up while roof boxers are they are tested with the front up or something is this true

 

when have you been over 60 :w00t:

 

lol thats strange.. i hate riding without a lid lol, bike sounds soo fucking loud, wind in ur facee..lol not for me mann..

if a caberg wid the flip up was illegal how would a half face be legal ?

 

so you wouldnt wear a flippy because if u crash ur fucked bud ud happily ride without a lid :w00t:

Joker lol

 

yeah riding without a lid is extremly loud and i cant even ride with visor open coz my eyes just water like fuck and i cant see a thing... :w00t:

 

roof boxer ftw

have it up down visor up or down and combined with a balaclava its perfect well soso, can even fit sunglasses on underneath!!!!

 

On my GTS 250, or my Formula 3 racer. and I don't ride with it flipped up, that would just be silly. It's just nice to open it to talk to people without having to take it off.










I lied about the Formula 3 racer. :w00t:

 

i have a caberg jujitsmo (or sumat like tht) i got it cos its quicker to take off and easyer to use headphones and its a damn sit more comfyer then my old caberg v2

 

they are good in comparison to conventional lids, but like a few people have said, they're not so good when you bin it an you kiss the tarmac at 40-50mph and end up skating down the road on your face lol
ive forgotten his name but im pretty sure the lad with the white 172 with the orange wheels came off with a boxer flip up on, there wwas some nasty pics put up not long ago of his face :wtf:
