Been trying different helmets for months, the French seemed to think I was the "crazy Gallois" as I would spend around 40 mins wandering around the shop with a helmet on, then take it off and disappear only to return a week or two later to do the same with a different make.

Comfort is everything, so having chose the model and size I then scoured the world for the colour I wanted, finally finding it in Italy.
If you are going to run out of fuel, do it in your garage.

It's only a short walk to the kettle.

Colour match to the bike isn't bad either.  :cheesy:

Good man!!   Gotta be comfortable!   I did the same type of thing, ended up sourcing my Italian hat from The Netherlands & shipped way down here.

Blue and white helmet clearly very special and rare unlike common black ones !  :)
The older I get the better I was
The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off

I do the same when buying new helmets after I bought one which I only tried on for a few minutes, after an hour on the bike my head hurt so I had to sell it and start all over again.
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick
