I tried on my helmet today!

Yes, I know it’s a dual sport helmet. I don’t care, I just adore how it looks like a space helmet!

Now I await some gloves and some armoured clothes! The MSF starts on the 25th. :)

Nice! I’m excited for you!

Does it fit well and is it comfortable?

Oh great, now I can’t unsee that!

It’s a 1Storm. Had decent reviews so I took the plunge

someone picks up his bike from my garage, someone else drops their (newly-acquired) bike off. it’s like I’ve got to have three in here at all times.

Yes and yes! It’s more than tight enough that it sits snug on my head without any movement when fully on and it completely ruins my hairdo when I take it off lol

Looks sharp! Hope you never have to see how well it works.

Perfect! Ruined hair is the goal!

Now you need a dual sport to go with it!

What rating is it? ECE? DOT? SM?

DOT. Forgot all the specifics, I’ll check when I get home.

I think I’m free this Saturday! I’m also free Sunday and after 6 during the week, too. lol

Motorcycles love company! Next thing you know you’ll also have a track bike, a dirt bike, a project bike, a Grom and another project bike.

Have fun on two wheels!

I gotta admit, I wouldn’t mind a cheap Grom copy to basically be something to do insane things with that I wouldn’t do with a real Grom or something I’d like to last forever. lol

Unless you love it, the DOT rating isn’t very good. ECE or SA are tested to much higher limits.

Oh god.

Maybe I’ll just keep it at home because it looks purty and get an ECE one for riding.

Most DOT helmets are also rated either ECE or SA these days also. You should be fine, if not, there’s always stuff like this:

Alright, we need to go riding then. I’ll check the calendar when I get home. Have you been getting my texts? You haven’t responded, so I don’t know if I have the right number.

CRider > Mercedes Streeter 05/15/2018 at 17:32

A real Grom is going to last forever, a cheap copy probably won’t. I’d recommend getting the real one- it will last forever, take all the abuse you can throw at it and it’ll always be there to play with you, like a four stroke puppy. You can’t go wrong with a Honda mini bike.

You will, however, need to change your name to Miss Motorcycle, Bike Hoarder.

Thankfully I can’t afford to get a second motorcycle for a while. Maybe instead of getting a new smart each year I’ll get a new bike every year! Then I could totes get a real Grom!

Aw heck, I’ll just get a bike and a smart every year.

(These are bad ideas)

One of us! May i ask what motorcycle are you getting. I have a similar helmet love it for around town but anything above 60mph my head is getting yanked, i also own a naked bike which does not help.
