    helmets

    i finally found one that fits!!!!!

    Yahhoooooo!!!! i went to RJ's in Nashua and the lady fit me up very carefully... even swapped out for different cheek pads.

    oh yea, its an HJC CL-14, and i only needed a XXL... not the triple like my old HJC, i didn't realize HJC redesigned all their shells and i was going to order a XXXL cl-14 online, which would have been too big. I am glad she fit me properly.

    The new HJC helmet designs are nice. very similar features to Shoei, Araii and Suomy, but half the price.

    sweet!

    Hopefully, my friend and i will make it up to bike week afterall!!!!
    I am working on it!

    helmets

    congrates on the new lid...
    Im verry glad you took the time to get fitted, as its the only way to go........
    HJC's are great IF you have a big head......As they use only one shell size for all the helmet's (xxs-xxxl) SO the outside is the same size on your XXL as it is on MY XS
    Thats why I switched to an Arai

    helmets

    i definately agree with the arai helmet fit. I tried different types of helmets for about three weeks and found the quantum to fit my head the best. hey if i'm going to spend the money, might as well do it right
