> Figure I’d post up my new purchase from a few weeks ago. I picked a Bell Star Matte Carbon and I love it. Coming from an HJC it’s a huge improvement. I can’t compare it to a shoei or arai because I’ve never had one but there is no lift at speed and no “head shake” either. Now I’m looking for some boots for the street that aren’t racing boots and not work boots. Also waiting for the photochromic shield to come in for the helmet (auto darkening).

That is a great helmet! Take a look at this if you are looking for non-racing style riding boots. Personally, I would stay away from anything with laces.
