Sorry about your friend, But it's not just Northern Virginia Drivers that suck...The whole state is full of the shitiest drivers I have ever seen....
and thats coming from a Ex-New Yorker who lived in Chicago for 3 years..

 

Just received two that I ordered, one for wife and one for me (DOT approved). Really impressed with the fit and quality of construction. Very light!!!! I have five other half helmets in the shed gathering dust because they weren't comfortable, heavy and looked stupid. Good company to work with, phoned in order and Erin said that it would ship in four weeks. Shipped four weeks to the day. Well worth the wait.
