Helmet Source

ggrjr · 04-10-2010, 05:18 PM

My girlfriend wants to buy me a helmet for my Birthday, and I have decided on a Shoei Hornet. I would like to try on on before I order one. Does any one know of any dealers around central NC that have teh Hornets in stock? I have heard they run the same as the off road only helmet, but want to make sure.

Ended up at Competition Accessories this AM. I have never seen more helmets in one place. Ended up witha Hornet in Matt Grey for over 125 below list. They had reall y good deals on a lot of last years helmets, including X11s, and RF1000s, and other brands. Sales girl seemed knowledgable, and was extremely helpful.

Pretty close. she did know how to properly check helmet fit, and what accessories were included/ available.

Ok. Initial impressions, I rode about 60 miles this AM, on the Strom at speeds up to 100 mph. I really like this helmet. Helmet is as stable up to 100 mph, as my X11. The only issues I saw was a little more buffeting when behind 18 wheelers or SUVs. Cross winds are little more noticeable, but not a deal breaker. The only issue is if you lift your head straight up , it will pull on you.
