| Which helmet design? OK the goats at Cycle Gear would not honor the price posted on the shelf so I am fixing to order a helmet from Helmet Harbor
So the question is which one:
White: Cheapest but no guarantee on how old, should help blend me with the herd
ROYAL Blue: $10 more but it is Blue. Also no guarantee on how old
Lawson: New model so should be somewhat current date. most $$$
I also think I will get a dark shield (maybe light) So vote soon and often.
Oops and I am getting an X11 because I don't like the fit of an RF1000 as much and Arai's are impossible to find around here (love my RX7 though  )

| Re: Which helmet design? I just got a X-11 "designer model". The graphics and finish are outstanding. I voted for the Lawson, cause it's St. Patrick's day.  |
