Opportunity: Welcome the new helmet Schuberth C3

Today had a great opportunity! Had in the back of my mind for a while now that I need to replace the BMW system helmet only because of it's age. The beemer helmet is excellent, and a would voador keep ir for a couple years more. However it now has around some 5 years of everyday use, and in some aspects it shows, mostly in the interior where the inner liner has degraded, and the cheek pads are giving way. A couple of pics:


Back to the opportunity! A friend of mine from work had an unfortunate motorcycling accident, where a car didn't stop at a roundabout And slammed into him. Fortunately only material damage, as nothing happened to him, but his wife said "no more" and he's selling everything related to hi n2 wheel transportation.

He had a Schuberth C3 helmet practically new for sale I pounced on. Schuberth helmets are pretty much the same as BMW system helmets only with slight improvements in materials & aerodynamics that make the end result slightly better.
First impressions are good, with interior lining extremely comfortable, and much reduced inner noise while riding. Also, it includes a sun visor that you lower / raise with yout left hand within.




Only issue, I can't seem to fit the Sena Bluetooth module on it. More to come on this...
