I finally replaced mine two years ago with a hinged full-face Shoei. It is
LIGHT YEARS ahead of the Beemers, with a much easier (yet more positive)
locking system, a better vent system, and it is MUCH lighter. I think it
cost about the same, but in today's money.

When I looked into those flip-up helmets years ago, I remember you
couldn't get one that was Snell certified because the flip-up chin guard
wouldn't pass the impact tests that a real full face helmet could. So, at
the time, I figured I might as well just go for the comfort of an open
face helmet with face shield. I wonder if the flip-ups are being made
better, now.
