[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 949809, member: 118"] That I find interesting. Both HJC and Shoei fit me well, or IOW, very similar. I've not been able to find any other brand of helmet that does. I get a kick out of the I don't have a cheap head so I don't buy a cheap helmet bullshit reasoning many use to justify paying outrageous prices for a helmet. I don't think HJC or other economical helmets are second-best when it comes to safety. They are NOT on par to the Shoei/Arai top tier helmets when it comes to paint, lining materials, visor quality, and overall fit and finish and ancillary functions. You get what you pay for there. But I can buy more than THREE HJC IS-Max helmets for the price of a Neotec! So I can replace my helmet every two-three years and still be ahead and get all these new helmets. And don't get me wrong - I also have Shoei Multitec and X-11 helmets in my current stable. My first ever helmet was a Shoei, and I have had an 'active' Shoei helmet in the stable for 20 years. I really WANT a Neotec, but I just can't justify that price. Guess I am just jealous of all you bastards who are dumb enough to pay for this helmet. Sometimes it's hard being the *smart* one. *sigh* :lol: [/QUOTE]
