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.

April 9 2019 (Re: MotorMac) | | 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.
