Picked up a new lid for the new woman
Went to Iron Pony with Susan to get her a helmet. When she saw the price she was taken somewhat aback. Anyway we fitted her with a helmet and ended up with an XS. She was still not convinced ( the price) so I said, ok lets try a HJC , which is a good helmet. She could not believe the difference in comfort between the Shoei and the HJC. That was the point I was trying to make. "You have to want to wear it, and if you are going 300 miles comfort is king", What amazed me though was the comment the sales guy made. " We don't normally stock XS in Shoei or Arai, because a lot of guys just go any old helmet will do for the woman"

Susan had never worn a full face, so I had to be sure she felt good wearing this one. After doing the side by side between the Shoei and the HJC, she understood what I was on about. Those RF1100's are suweet, makes me want to trade in my old RF1000. Damn I'm tempted, not this color scheme of course. To view pics on this biker's forum - your post count must be 2 or greater.

I really don't get that "I'll wear all the gear, she can just wear a pair of jeans & a badly fitting lid that the last few wore too... what can go wrong" attitude either To view pics on this biker's forum - your post count must be 2 or greater.
