Thanks. Yep, lots of money, and hours and hours in the chair!

But it was worth it, considering I've probably put in more miles on two-wheels than most people ever will in their cage.

The helmet goes on your head, not under your arm like a purse.

not to get off the subject but anybody experience icon apperal?? i've only rocked the yamaha jackets and helments. just some idea for next riding season.

im also kind of hurt that yamaha is the least owned/favorite bike. well it's got a "unique" feel (seats/ gas tank position) but i guess since it rare to seem them it may stand out more often. Go Yami!!!!!!

Icon is good. A bit more urban and a little less sport oriented. Doesn't really protect as good as other brands.

Scorpion is a good brand. Lots of protective gear and less expensive than Icon. Thor is also good, but they lean towards off-road gear (which you can wear anyways on the road).

But if you want to go for the best, Dainese and Alpinestars are the brands that you want to get.
