New Shoei X11 Helmet
After nearly two years of riding with a helmet that's one size too big, I finally ordered a new Shoei X11 to replace my Shoei RF1000. That was one mistake I made as a noob - I didn't size my helmet properly and got the size that felt comfy instead of the size that felt snug, tight and proper (now that I know what proper is supposed to feel like). I'm going on a good ride this weekend so I'll post some impressions afterwards. So far it's obvious just by looking at it that it vents better than the RF1000, not that the RF1000 was bad. ¶ 7:02 PM
