I am not certain why anyone responds to your posts anymore. You clearly don't care what others have to say, you don't listen, you don't learn and your going to get yourself killed.

My greatest concern for you is that you don't truley respect the inherent dangers of motorcycling. A helmet is not for good looks, it is to protect that giant noggin on top of your shoulders. The number one most importnant thing when considering a helmet is FIT. I drove 70 miles in 2 directions to try on helmets before I ordered one off of the internet.

And don't give me any of your bullshit about personal preference and all of that "crumb", because your words mean nothing. You are immature and a danger to yourself.
where did i say fit was not important???

pls don't put words in my mouth.

i never said such a thing.

But you tried it on, which is the important part.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

To be fair Sev, he didnt say he was going to wear an improper fitting helmet. I doubt anyone would. If he has to return it, which he did mention, I would think he would.

Hehe I suppose that the popcorn should suffice, but haven't you ever seen those videos of the delivery guys throwing boxes and stuff.

It arrives at the dealer the very same way doesn't it?
When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

It suppose so but I dont work at a dealer so I dont know. I've always imagined that dealers get them in bulk and hopefully I can get the one that was shipped in the middle.
