the bad thing is even trying them on in a store isn't a sure thing, you gotta ride with it to see how it does in the wind.
You are totally right Dude. The Daytona I bought seemed right but there is apparently just a little space between my forehead and the helmet. (Insert joke here) Caused the helmet to slide back in the wind. I was upset for all of 5 minutes b4 I realized a doo rag would probably fix this. The doo rag they actually sent me for free! Not only does the helmet now fit perfectly, but I never have to worry about stinking it up. Just wash or replace my dew rag. Oh, sometimes I wear a backwards cap and that works great too.

Ya know, they say that the effectiveness of helmets goes way down over the years. Should be replaced every 2-3 years I think? You might wanna think a little harder about tossing some of those helmets.
