This Add in this months SSb almost got me to thinking about an Arai purchase

Both companies make great products, but I've never owned an Arai.

I've had Shoei helmets since I've been riding Busas. I suffered only minor injuries (no ambulance involved) in my crash, and I took all of these pictures. They definitely do a great job.

This Shoei RF-1000 saved my life last year.

This mark is from a hard impact with the road. That was a potentially fatal impact, had I been wearing lesser protection.

This one is from the rusty guardrail that runs along the Cherohala Skyway. Shoei uses good, strong shields. I know that because my ugly mug is still intact.

Here's how it happened...

Ever time I see this. It makes me wonder how you came away alive from that. You must have had a guarding angel that day.

I agree. I certainly haven't come this far by luck alone.

The throttle meisters look ok

Yeh, but those throttle bodies are definately going to need to be synced.
