LOL ! No, haven't been back since I got the bike.
There were nice people. When you give people money they tend to be nice.

Quote: Also, the HD sales guy said most people are going for full face helmets now. I may get the HD one and then a half helmet for quick rides around town.
Any tips on a good fitting/priced full helmet please share.
Check out the Roof Boxer or Desmo. It's both a full face AND 3/4 helmet. I myself have an AGV K4 EVO FF and a Fulmer V2 3/4, I enjoy both for the different types of riding I do (Highway and city). However, I would have spent about the same amount of money had I bought a Roof in the beginning. It's not a modular helmet, the face sheild goes all the back back behind the head, you can ride at full speed with it in that position.

Something to think about...

As for the mods, take your time. Don't rush into anything. You'll be surprised how much you're tastes change every six months. Do the research and be sure it's what you want.

Did you NOT have a helmet in the sportbike world?

Or did someone tell you it would void the warranty if it didn't match?
