Yes the dealer was great. Im sticking with my bv2s. I have never had any issues with the bv2s in the 10 years i have had it. I was only looking at a new helmet because this one is 10 years old. Im just trying to stay away from something that needs to be plugged in. To many things could happen.

I made a post asking about feed back on the new Exome helemet before i bought one and didn't really get much feedback on the helmet. Well i did buy one and used it on my Gaspe loop. We encountered cold, warm, snow, and rain on the trip. Here is my feedback on the helmet. Note that I chose to wear the helmet without plugging it in. The very cold day (-25C windchill) that we had, a quarter of the visor did fog up. The warm and little rain we got, the visor did not freeze up but it was still a bit foggy. The warm day (-5C), condensation built up between the 2 lenses and had a light coating of fog on it. Everytime I wore the helmet, condensation built up and froze solid ice on the release mechanism to lift the face of the helmet making it very hard to open the helmet. I feared that the release cable would break. Nothing about the helmet impressed me. Despite being warned that I wouldn't get refunded if I wasnt satisfied with the helmet, Eastern Powersport in Cornwall gave me a full refund. Satisfaction guaranteed for the customer was more important. The purchase was only 1 week before using it

I have no complaints about my bv2s. Never has fogged and no heated visor. I never use the pad. I just pour it out when i stop lol. My helmet is old and i was just wondering if it's wise to buy the exome. You know the saying if it aint broke don't fix it.

No. I have not looked at them

Who has tried out the new Exome helmet? I have a, when they first came out BV2S. I like everything about it except the weight. Never had a heated visor on it and never fogs up. I see the Exome is only $350 and the Bv2s is still $550. Would i be down grading going to the Exome?

Thanks for the report. Sounded like an awesome ride

I stay at Glacier most times. They lock your vehicle in parking lot at night. Sled can be parked in covered building. Not theft proof but more than what a lot of other places offer.

My personal opinion. I would rather people keep their hands on the bars. I see to many shaky riders with one hand. Usually the first sled is a surprise anyways, so just stay to your side and slow down a bit. Chances are if you haven't seen a second sled in 5 seconds there are no more sleds with that group. I really don't need a hand signal. In a straight away you can usually see the next person and if its in a curve you should be on your own side and both hands on the bar for the turn anyways. And then you get those newbies that think you are waiving at them lol.

Yes we are taking the 587. Thanks

Very encouraging going to Glacier. Riding Tomorrow and Wednesday. Thanks for the reports folks.

Wishing her a speedy recovery. If someone did that to my wife he would wish for the cops to get there before i was done. So sad there are useless pieces of crap like that out there.

Same here

Going to perce is only if we have time. It will make for a very long day because it looks like you would have to ride to chandler again for fuel before heading back up to Merdockville.

Guess that's for the next trip lol
