OK ok so it seems like more and more people are getting a bike this year. Almost every time i look at some one riding a bike i first off look to see what kind of bike there on and then what kind of helmet they are wearing and the design, i think the helmet design picks out a person personality or maybe they just like the fucking helmet i dunno. post some pics of the helmet you have this year and or maybe the one you wish you had. just picked up this shoei ![http://www.shoei-helmets.com/products/rf1000/rf1000_diabolic_tc5.jpg](http://www.shoei-helmets.com/products/rf1000/rf1000_diabolic_tc5.jpg) ![http://www.kneedraggers.com/image_storage/0/4e/04eae3c435521b918fb8c17e98c54ae7_rough.jpg](http://www.kneedraggers.com/image_storage/0/4e/04eae3c435521b918fb8c17e98c54ae7_rough.jpg) ---

I was just at bert’s yesterday, and the guy was on the phone with the police because someone broke in. Apparantly they came right through the front window and were out with a bunch of shoei x11s in like 45 seconds. ---

I just picked up one of these guys to see how i like it for commuting. No room to carry multiple shields on my bike and I can’t stand riding with glasses, and have had poor luck with the light sensitive shields. ![http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/catalog/EXO-1000-Solid_M-Blk-1-low.JPG](http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/catalog/EXO-1000-Solid_M-Blk-1-low.JPG) ---
