Default I hate waiting...

for stuff I have ordered to come in. I got a 3/4 helmet off ebay last week and it was way too big for my pea head. Sold it in CL for a nice profit and enough to order a new fulmer in gold that will fit me perfectly. No I have to wait for it to go from fulmer to the place I ordered from and then get shipped to me. I want it now. I am going to retrofit it with some bluetooth stereo speakers for my iphone/ipod for music (I don't talk on the phone while riding ever and never will). I am sure the speakers will show up before the helmet.

I can't believe I am so excited about a 3/4" helmet, but ti will be nice to ride without earplugs in for a change, and it will come in handy in the cold (as cold as it gets here in SoCal). I am even thinking about the bubble shield so I can wear my glasses and see a bit better on the road.

I love the look of the flake helmets in the sun. Just pimpin' all the way. I figure another week or so as it is coming from Missouri.

We have become a society of instant gradification haven't we? Remember when you would order something and the disclaimer always said "allow 4-6 weeks for delivery"?

You should have ordered it from me. 2-3 days for delivery. Too bad we don't sell those Fulmer's. We are going to have to look into this now. How much did it cost for shipping? I'll bet it wasn't free.

I know what you mean. Ordered a new HJC for my wifey. from a big motorcycle superstore. Said free 1-3 day shipping. Kicker is they don't ship out their stuff the day you order. They wait 3 days and then you tack 3 days on top of that for shipping.

An instant society we live in now. If you don't live by that you get left behind. I will not order from this place again.

you coulda saved some time and just walked into one of the 52 dealers around LA and picked one up mang, and even tried it on. I got mine from Barger.

Hey, let me know how the bluetooth stuff works. I'm thinking about it too. How does it work and which brand did you go with?
