Heck, the vikings just killed all the men and raped all the women. The Irish were still trying to talk down the rate for the sheep 6 weeks later!

you are correct in that, but all that means is they a talk a lot of ****.....That's funny... I thought they were primarily known for their gift of Blarney!
And on the subject of the aforementioned helmet, my Nolan 103 weighs in at 1750 grams says so on the back (3.85lbs) the Schuberth weighs in at 1250 grams (2.75lbs) thats over a pound lighter......and you sure can feel the difference when it is on your nogin..

Jealousy is an ugly emotion gentlemen.
If you pencil-necks knew your history, you would know Blarney was an Irishman that frustrated the english monarch until he got what he wanted.
And as for **** Richard, I was there at WFO listening to yours...

Hi DaveB, I looked in my BMW Owners News and saw Biketoberfest 2010 is happening just up the road from you in Bunnell. Perhaps call Patty at the phone # listed below and see if Schuberth vendors will be in attendance. That way you can try on a C3 to see if it fits your head. We of the Forum are very sorry that Fairlaner and OCfjr keep screwing up your post!!
Biketoberfest 2010
Join us all Oct 14th to Oct 17th at Holiday Travel Park, 2261 South Old Dixie Highway, Bunnell, Florida. Just off I-95 at exit 278. Home of B-Cubed BikeWeek 2011 camp out.

For RV reservation or any questions call Patty 330-219-9058!

That's a good idea. Would be nice to lay hands on before dropping that many bills. You can count on me being at Biketoberfest. I might even join you over at the Travel park. After all...I'm a sucker for a "heated pool"!

Good Morning DaveB,
If you like motorcycle rallies and camping, you may also want to consider this BIG event that occurs every year in Florida; this rally is so popular it sells out every year and they cap the attendance at 500. I am a Rally Chairman for BMW MOA Chartered Club #89 and one of the nicest features of BMW Rallies, including our very own Road Runner Rally, is that all makes are welcome. I routinely post our Road Runner Rally here on the forum each year and we have had up to six FJR owners attend. https://www.azbeemers.org/rally2010.php
Best Regards, Don Stanley

Oh HEY... I forgot! I have a brand new Helmet Shoppe 3 blocks down the road now. They'll have it. I'm outta here, ta!

Don't believe that for a second.
I thought we had already dealt with the C-3 in a controlled manner. Fit is different so you need to try one first, quite likely a size smaller than you normally take, lots of good things being heard, but still spendy. Quality is on par with Arai or Shoie, etc., but it's gotta fit your head shape for you to be happy. Further, it's typical for US and Euro Schuberth's to have different shapes.
Any info on the C3 being available in Carbon? Or the System 5 for that matter? Stupid expensive, but I think that's the only upgrade I'd be willing to pay more for at this point. The Multitech works too well for me to get excited over the C3. I tend to a oval head though.

It's just a sad pity my ENGLISH friend didn't bring one back for me when he was last in Blighty. Oh well, I'll contact a proper British Gentleman, David "Orestes" Clarke, and see if he'll his help poor old Papa Chuy out!

https://www.goaz.com/ Crash Cash, thanks for checking back in with us! After seeing your post just now, I quickly called BMW Motorcycles of Scottsdale to see if they had any C-3's in stock. They replied they wouldn't be getting them for months, if you go by Helmet Shoppe again in a few weeks, see if I they have an XL in stock. Do they mail order? Oval head Is Me!Only one... and only in a medium, so I can't say how it fits...
https://www.schuberth.com/en/products/motorcycle/dealers.html According to Schubeth's website, my closest dealers for C3 are in Montreal or Mexico City. Hasta la Vista, mis Amigos!

How does that work? Arai is the only helmet manufacturer that offers shells in oval and round. So how is it you're out of luck because it fits like an Arai? Which is a meaningless statement. Fits like an Arai what?

I Miss Beemerdons!
More like:
Profile - long oval - (Very Long front-to-back, very narrow side-to- side)
Vector - intermediate oval - (Shorter front-to-back and a little wider side-to-side than the Long Oval)
Quantum - round oval - (Even a little shorter front-to-back and a little wider side-to-side)

Nice that the C3 is lighter. My Concept One used to make my neck ache so I switched to an X11....but that helmet proved to be as noisy as a fright train. I have high hopes for the C3!
