What is you favorite motorcycle helmet? Full face/modular/open face/half skull?
I only wear Arai helmets.In my opinion, they are they best helmets in the world. Arai’s RX7 is the only helmet in the world to meet both the stringent SNELL and the ECE standards. It is the most popular helmet on the grid of the Isle of Man TT races, where there is no run-off so, if a rider crashes, he’s likely to hit a wall, a house, a tree, or fly off the side of a rocky hill.I do feel that Shoei helmets are up there on quality too but Arais fit my head the best - putting one on feels like I’m wrapping my head in a duvet.I have 5 Arais at the moment with another couple planned this year. The one pictured below is the Arai Chaser V Pride.All Arai helmets are hand-made and the Arai RX7 you buy in the shop is identical to the one worn by Dani Pedrosa or Jonathan Rea - Arai don’t make special, extra-strong helmets for their world championship racers and then sell cheap replicas to the public like most manufacturers as they don’t believe one person’s head is more valuable than anothers.They also stick to their guns and don’t follow when other manufacturers go down a particular route, despite how popular it may be with the public. For instance, they don’t make flip-up helmets or ones with internal sun-visors because these compromise the structural integrity of the helmet.Arai makes its helmets to have as round an outer shell as possible as this shape glides off bumps better than something with sharper edges, which are liable to catch and cause more injuries.
Do modular homes come with full appliances ?
The short answer is yes. Modular homes usually come with all of items you mention since they are built in items. I think people make a huge mistake though, when they include appliances like a stove, refrigerator, washer, and dryer in the financing of a new home. In effect, they are taking a mortgage (usually 30 years) loan on appliances that will not last nearly that long. They end up paying many times what the appliances are worth over the term of the loan, and will have to replace them in the meantime. In addition, the builders/manufacturers usually offer the cheapest appliances they can possibly find, which contributes to their short life. If at all possible, have them purchase their appliances seperately or bring their old ones with them to the new home. They will be many thousands of dollars ahead of the game in the long run. Good luck with your parent's new home purchase.

Are modular (flip up) motorcycle helmets as safe as full face helmets?
The motorcycle police in many other countries recognize the benefits of full coverage helmets — which US motor-officers don’t seem to — so in many countries they wear flip up helmets because it’s safer than not.I wear a non-modular helmet and won’t even consider a flip up. A good friend and motorcycle buddy wears a flip up and loves it because you can open the front.They both work and something is better than nothing.So, take your choice.
Is a modular brick and a conventional brick the same?
No, they are not same.Conventional bricks are those which are made from standard brick making materials. i.e., often made from fired clay.Non-conventional bricks are those which are made from materials other than conventional materials either partly or fully.Modular bricks are those which are manufactured in a standard size as per IS code specification.You can watch below video to understand about Modular & Non-modular bricks.- Anime_Edu - Civil Engineering Videos
How much does a prefab/modular home cost?
The house is the LEAST of the money. I'd suggest going to a mod dealer and asking loads of questions. Where I live, mod's start at about $49K, and can go as high as $150K. Remember that this is JUST the house! No power, water, sewer, foundation, land, permits, porches, driveway, or land. We just put one on a small city lot, and the improvements were $30K. This didn't include the land. The house, alone, was $65K
Can you wear a modular helmet in the open (flipped up) position while riding?
DOT does not consider it to even be a helmet when wore in the open position. It does not cover the jaw like an open (3/4) helmet would. Also the chin/visor of the helmet basically is a sail putting pressure on your neck. So even in a low speed city crash you risk major neck injury. The best advice is open your vents in your helmet. Normally along the chin and on top of the helmet. Also wear some type of eye protection. When you have proper eye wear, it is safe to open the visor (not the entire chin) of the helmet. So opening the chin on a helmet on public roads also breaks helmet laws because DOT only considers it a helmet closed.
Modular Home vs. Stick-built ?
My fiancee and I just inherited some land in rural Virginia on the Bay from my father and are planning on building on the acreage within the next year. Since it is a waterfront/water oriented town--many people are retired or vacation-homeowners and decided on new modular homes. I love the way they look but want to know other's opinions regarding mod homes vs. stick-built homes. Are Modular homes really built as well? Are they considerably cheaper? Any insight is well appreciated. Thanks!
