New Lid: Schuberth C3
So I went old man with my newest lid, but this thing is bad ass. Short list of some of the neat features:
Slide down tinted visor with a mechanism that works on both sides, no screw ups sliding up or down pinlock double clear visor, no fogging up ratchet strap system that makes for simple put on/take off amazing vent system, feels like you are riding helmetless very quiet, much more than my Shoei X-11 or Hornet built in speaker holes in the foam, you can't feel your com speakers in your helmet very awesome chin padding system for cold weather Schuberth ribbing on visor that breaks the wind buffeting instead of using the back fin that most helmets have very light Here are some pics

I'm an old man helmet convert. I think from now on I want two helmets around the house, a full face and a flip up with a drop down visor.
The C3 looks good, but really its too expensive for my tastes. The Nolan I wore at the rally is nice, but I wish I would have spent the extra $$$ on the scorpion and gotten a face shield that wont fog on my.

I just know that I need to change helmets for my neck's sake. Hurts like a mofo after 200 miles or so.

I've been thinking about a Schuberth! I'm glad to see that you are pleased with it. I'll probably get one over the winter.
I did notice one thing though. Your sticker on the back, well, you're missing a few states.

I'm curious how you like it over time. I like my nolan modular but there are things I wish were different or better.

Having the built in tinted visor will be bad ass too. I hate wearing sunglasses and changing visors, so I normally just go clear all the time. I really wish it had the flip over feature of the shark evoline, but that helmet just didn't fit me right.

I had to go to Dual Sport Touring to get one. BMW didn't have one here.
