true lol, but you can also stop and smoke whenever while your friends fumble for their helmet straps :P

Given the price, the wavey rotor sounds good. Is it metallurgically as good?
Apart from cosmetics, do wavey brake rotors offer any advantage on a street bike? I understand they are good at clearing the mud off on dirt bikes. Any extra surface area for dissipating heat doesn't seem realistic. Rotors are pretty thin to begin with.
Still, £50 is £50. You could probably go from Cardiff to London on that.

You mentioned in your reply to Zavochkin that wearing glasses was the main reason for your trying out a modular helmet. I've pretty much always worn glasses as well, and have never really had any issues with using a full face helmet. While I suppose that it's nice not having to remove the specs in order to pull the modular version on or off, I'll stick with a regular full face. Especially after hearing your report on how noisy the flip up ones are.

ive used a flip top caberg until recently when i got a full face helmet for my cam, anyway ive found myself using the full face one more and more, the wind noise is annoying sure but i feel more snug in the full face helmet. (plus it looks cooler) lol

Yeah, another downside to fliptops is: any street cred you happened to have on your bike with your leathers etc you instantly lose as soon as you flip up your helmet and look like a dork :)

Yeah, I'd stick with full face DP. They do have their advantages when re-fueling though or at a long red light on a hot day. But I must say the wind noise cons outweigh all their pros.

Never saw what was the big deal about modular helmets. They are all known to be more noisy too, but I just don't have any desire to flip it open like that unless I'm parked and trying to talk with someone.

The attraction for me was due to my glasses. It's a real pain taking them on and off with a full face. After owning a modular now, I doubt I'd buy another. At least I have both now though.
