I know that everyone doesn't get a new helmet everyday but I just bought a new to me 1995 Gold Wing and the PO threw in 2 Shoei 3/4 helmets with the communication gear attached. The smaller helmet worked great for my wife but the other helmet was an XL which did not work for me but we want the helmets to match so we looked online and ordered a white Shoei 3/4 RJ Platinum helmet "in my size". I got it today, we used the size chart on the site to order it but BOY it really seems snug......I remember my current LS-2 modular helmet seemsed tight at first too, I guess the padding will compress somewhat given some time. I did mount the communication into the helmet so I am all ready to go once I get the bike back from the Honda dealer that is.......it has been there for 11 days so far waiting on having it checked out, fluids changed, timing belts etc. I am getting a little bit frustrated in how long it is taking for the shop to get the maintenance done but at least I still have my Volusia to ride until I get the Wing back.
I took the Suzuki on about a 220 mile run through the North Texas country side this past Sunday and ran into the local GWRRA chapter in Granbury, Tx. They were stopped at a Race Trac convenience store for what looked like a break. I didn't stop even though I have joined that group (we signed up last week) figuring I probably would not get a warm reception from them with me on my Suzuki.
Counting the days until I can start riding the new to me Wing.
