I've had mine for a few weeks now and still really like it. It does have some short comings. The venting sucks, there is only one head vent that does next to nothing but recently the back of my head has been getting cold in the morning. The flip up part of the helmet doesn't flip up nearly enough. It's still very stiff to flip up and down. I realized yesterday that it is extremely hard to clean the main visor. Other then that it's been great.

Forgot to mention, I just got a $30 bill from FedEX for some unpaid customs thing. I think it was VAT or something? Bastards.

So you ended up getting bit by customs anyway... I was told by other to avoid Fed Ex as I've heard of that happening. Mine is coming Royal Mail, but hopefully it doesn't get caught up by the strike. I did get a shipping confirmation, and I'm anticipating it late this week or early next. I'll post my initial comments upon inpsection/first ride and will post a follow-up after I've got some more heavy usage on it.

I ordered a Caberg Justissimo from www.bikergear.co.uk and i got it within 10 days. very good company. shipping was 30 GPB. All in all i paid $350.00 us for it. the trip is much cheaper.

I am sending my Justissimo back beacuse of fit. they charge a 10% restock fee. but will take it back no questions.

I always figured if I got my Trip and I really didn't like it I would just resell it here.

I've been trying to find a trip in the copper color that was reviewed on webbikeworld, have any of you found a source for them in that particular color?

I've been looking for weeks and no dice :(

Anyone have one in a Medium they ain't happy with?

That's not a bad price. I picked one up a couple weeks ago on a trip to the UK. It was 99 pounds in the 3 shops I visited.

Is there going to be a ride report?

I keep meaning to go to SA, I used to date a lot of au pairs (because they're usually gone inside of 6 months

) All were South African (cause I love the accent) and I am still receiving e-mails asking me to visit, now I just need to decide which one or ones, and try to remember which was which

Oh yea check your PMs

My Trip is on the way from them as we speak! I was hoping for it to come by the weekend, but maybe Monday is more likely.

ABQTJ · 10-30-2007, 11:11 AM

Got my Trip yesterday. Would have been here Saturday, but I wasn't home when USPS tried to deliver and they wanted a sig.

Anyone know the "trick" to fitting the windscreen piece under your chin? I can't seem to get mine installed.
