if the deal is good.. i can't pass it up.. haha
even if I don't need it.
I've been thinking it's about time for a new helmet lately.. I've got a shoei rf9.. just kinda gettin frayed around the edges.. had it almost 3 yrs now.
came across this one looking at somebody elses post and just bought it.
snell2000/dot approved and all that jazz.
probably wouldn't have bought a resin (IE not fiberglass stuff) helmet had it not been for the article in motorcyclist, and the open letter from the snell organization concerning the findings.. nobody seemed to be in disagreement that the resin helmets were just as good safety wise as any of the other goop.
not sure It will be my primary.. but AGV has a fair reputation, and the price was right.. and doggonit.. i like the way it looks.. haha..
when you have a orange bike don't expect anything to even remotly match.. so just buy whatever makes ya giggle.

not overly concerned that it's a 2 yr old design.. so is the helmet I'm wearing now.. haha. Plus after the last track day I've learned that they don't much look at the year of manufacturing.. they look at the snell rating if you've got it.. snell2000 will be good thru 2010 unless they get really picky.. in which case this helmet will be "antiqued" in '07.. can't imagine I won't break down and buy a shoei badge by then anyways.
