The size I bought(L) is kind of space martian. I tried out an M & it fit OK, no space martian, but I can see this getting uncomfortable after a couple hours. Even tho the L's got the space martian look, I like it. It's not bad.

In Rhode Island there's no helmet law but god forbid if we go down I hope we live so screw it... Good for you bro!!!
Heard that man. When you've got kids, I'd take looking silly over looking dead any day. Whereabouts are you in RI? Maybe we'll bump into each other @ Suzie Q's. Thanks for the compliments, too.

& too everyone else that complimented or had friendly criticizm, I appreciate everything.....except that one dude in the beginning. I love all the support I get from my fellow riders & BROTHERS!

I think he was just being an ***. I do know that some guys in some MC's don't like being called bro or brother except from other members.

No I hear you, man. It's just a word that ended up in my vocab somehow. I think it was from one of my 1st bosses. I can understand if the dude's from an MC, but it ain't going to change the way I talk to people. Know what I mean?

I danced a little jig when the helmet law in PA was repealed and have went lid-less ever since. However this season I'm tossing one on, getting older and keep thinking about my kids. Doesn't help that I'm in the motorcycle business and I hear accident stories non-stop either.

Heard that. I still get that feeling of WTF when I put a helmet on, but my son's pic in my wallet reminds me why I should be putting it on.
