What was the verdict, AZ? What model was that?
Pic is kinda dark - looks like it has a shield built in.

I'll never forget buying my first brand-new Bonneville at a showroom in Van Nuys, CA.
Left with a factory shop manual, parts book and a new Bell helmet.

Salesman insisted Bells were overpriced, he had a cheaper brand that was every bit as good. To prove it, he dropped one from about waist high onto the concrete. Broke clean in half, right down the center.

I found it, 6 models and all are black. And you got a white one?
What were you thinking? Should we be worried?

My helmets are white for two reasons, to lessen desert heat and increase visibility-I was told a white helmet may draw attention because it could be a motorcycle cop. I don't know if this is true but makes sense.

Reason #1 is why I'll always have white helmets.
Hadn't heard reason #2, but visibility is always a plus.
I usually put helmet on the seat so's ah don't burn mah biscuits.
