Streak, a word of caution with the Evoline. make sure that the two little screws in the sides of the helmet are secured with either a very small drop of nail polish, or some other screw grip (like Loctite), because so far I've had both fall out on me. One after about 4 months...then waited nearly 5 weeks for a replacement which I fitted with nail polish, then the other fell out about 6 weeks ago...still waiting for the replacement to turn up!!!

is that the evoline 3?

No, a 2. The screws I'm talking about are right next to the "Shark" decal in the Evoline picture farther up the post, on the small cover plate fr the chin-bar hinge.

Teela calls it the "Optimus Prime" Look, she wont let me get the white/black version as apparently i look like a "Storm Trooper"

i have a jet black helmet at the moment so with white does that mean it will make it cooler?

I've gone for a white helmet and jacket. The difference is very noticable at this time of year up here.

Hmm point taken, maybe the storm trooper look is the way to go...

I can't believe that no bike shop I visited had a light coloured jacket in stock. Some said they could get one, others weren't sure. Are you kidding !!!! I was shocked. Racks of black ones. Umm. Coming into summer in Brisbane. Just need to get out on the road and test my new purchase.

WendyL · « **Reply #62 on:** November 23, 2012, 09:15:55 PM »

Very few light coloured ones around in Darwin either. I got mine in Perth!

Did you go leather or textile Wendy? I went textile with lots of mesh.

WendyL · « **Reply #64 on:** November 23, 2012, 09:28:14 PM »

Textile, lots and lots of mesh. I got the Motodry "Bella". It's nice and girlie, white with purple accents :)

Skip · « **Reply #65 on:** November 23, 2012, 09:39:53 PM »

As you should.

Streak · « **Reply #66 on:** November 28, 2012, 08:40:27 AM »

Just an update, just dropped the bike at Toowoomba Honda, to get all the lights wired in (I know easy, but i am flat at the moment and simply dont have the spare time)

I have ordered the Storm Trooper Evoline 3 instead of the Optimus Prime version

Bikebear · « **Reply #67 on:** November 30, 2012, 02:01:39 PM »

Evoline 3 is high on the list for my next helmet in either white or silver. Unfortunately no one here carries them in stock so I have to order one to see if it will fit, and if it doesn't I'd have to order the next size up/down. Townsville guys do you know if anyone there carries them in stock?

Streak · « **Reply #68 on:** November 30, 2012, 02:02:20 PM »

i am on the phone with rising sun honda at the moment, will update you in a sec

Streak · « **Reply #69 on:** November 30, 2012, 02:07:02 PM »

I have just spoken with Bernie who owns Rising Sun Honda, he stocks the Evoline 3, he said go in, and ask for him by name (Bernie), identify yourself from us and he will fix you up with a discount.

Tackleberry · « **Reply #70 on:** December 03, 2012, 12:33:53 AM »

They do carry the Evoline 3 in stock, with a variety of sizes, just inside the spare parts area on the right as you go through the doors from new bikes.

If Bernie isn't available, ask for Cher (his daughter) as she is a lot prettier than Bernie, and he will have probably forgotten about the phone call by now anyway.
