Re: Helmet preference

["Jeff Jenkins" <jeff.jenkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

YES!  I have the same helmet, for the same reason.  Was going to get the
Shoei synchrotech but it was such a poor fit that after 2 minutes I returned
it.  Was considering the BMW System IV helmet but having to order it via the
blackmarket from europe was gonna be strange....  then I saw the Read.

VERY comfortable, though louder than my Shoei RF700.  I haven't figured out
how to go about installing speakers in it yet but am very happy with it so
far.  It does seem to be an insect magnet though.
