New Lid
One of my neighbors was out mowing his yard and saw me. His name is Mark. He yelled at me to come over, and he gifted me with a Shoei full face helmet. Turns out he used to ride, but since he and his wife moved back from Japan and have a daughter they've decided not to ride anymore. He gave me the helmet. It's a Japanese Shoei. He used to wear it when he rode in Japan, and he also wore it in New Zealand when they took a motorcycling trip there. He owned a 750 in Japan. It's a size medium, and in great condition. Has some normal wear on the finish but the interior is fresh and looks new. That means I've got 4 lids now. I bought 2 - Bell full face helmets in Pearl White on clearance at Tuesday Morning a while back after the divorce. A small and a medium, in case I ever have a girlfriend who will go riding with me. They're pearl white, and match my HJC Symax that I wear pretty well. The Shoei is a yellow racing pattern, but it's a nice helmet.
