Glad and happy to read that you came out of that with more than just your brain intact Rich. sounds like the Yohe branded helmet of which I am also very familiar with (had 3 different Yohe helmets at one point but discarded them - rubbish binned) held up well to the abuse.

I think it is only fair to understand and appreciate that a lot of R&D goes into quality helmet design, ergonomics, and crash testing... in my mind Yohe are no where near being at the level of a HJC let alone a Shoei or Arai of which I have had many over the years. One Arai many years ago withstood a very high speed and high impact crash with deep gouges and scratches across the left "side" and visor after a heavy impact where I snapped the front forks on my Yamaha FJ1200 and shunted a car from a motorway across opposing motorway lanes into the mangrove swamp running alongside that section of motorway. The helmet was a write off as was my bike, but both had done their jobs, as had my leathers. If I'd been wearing anything less than a top of the line helmet, I'd not be here or able to craft this reply here today, I'm sure of that. I'm almost certain had I been wearing a Yohe, I wouldn't be here to record the tale. Irrespective the Yohe helmets I have had (all 3), have been nothing like any of the HJC's (4 I own currently) let alone the 2 shark evoline II's I have. The Yohe screens are thin and easily scratch, and it is only after one tries a better quality helmet that one notices the differences, at least that was how it was in my case, which is why the 3 Yohe's I had at the time, went unceremoniously into the rubbish bin. Not to worry though, I'm sure that they would have found their way into the recycling scheme and are likely to be found gracing someone else's noggin. Each to their own!

When it comes to motorcycles and motorcycle protection I say one shouldn't take any short cuts, at least that is MY view on the topic. Where possible ATGATT.

YMMV!
