Hi all,

I got to the office this morning and on removing my helmet I noticed something missing.
https://www.coolioso.org/junk/helmet.JPG

I recall hearing a click when I shoulder checked as I was on the way in but I thought it was just the visor locking down in the wind (70mph Wink ). I only got it in February and its never been dropped, knocked and I have not been riding for 2 1/2 months!

Time to find a Shark dealer to check how good they are with warranty repairs I think Confused

They do sell replacements here but I don't think it should be flying off when I turn my head!

Just don't wear it when you crash, simples.

They'll come back with "Sorry mate, that's a consumable item".

Any chance you can find where it may have come off and have a look for it?

Some where between junction 4 and 2 of the outside lane of the east bound M4 Sad

Superheated air caused by a screwed cooling fan has obviously blown up and melted that part off Thumbs Up

Same thing happened with my Shark helmet. I was only a spare so never used it much. Like you, was travelling at 70ish when the same bit came off.

I had just fixed my fan... maybe that was the problem too much wind?
