    Question: What's "dual purpose" about a helmet?

    Purpose 1 - Motorcycling head protection

    Purpose 2 - You can take a dump in it?

    I don't have a dual purpose helmet so, Jim, I'll have to use yours for my Number 2s. See you in the Lakes

    Went out saturday and brought a AIROH S-4 helmet, love it very light and i love the visor a lot better than taking goggles on and off and a nice warm face, no more looking like a shag doll when it gets cold

    It's not a full visor, it's only a half size to cover the eyes, the flag out of interest is Aussie, it's the Mcfarlane replica, but also available in other colours and plain
    See here for a pic with the visor down:
