Yes. Yes I am people. :) In 20+ years of wearing helmets, this is the first time I've ever had anything like that, and only that one helmet. Weird.

The problem I have with Scorpion is what I had posted in an earlier thread: There's something inside the helmet that burns my eyes. If the vents are open, and the air is circulating, that's when it happens most. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it comes on fast. Emergency stop...

The other problem with the Scorpion is something I've never had with any other helmet. When the vents are open, and air is circulating, there's something about the foam or something inside that will make my eyes burn. It comes on quick, too; I've had to make emergency stops on the shoulder with...

Just out of curiousity, I wore my old helmet (Scorpion) when I went out today. It's even chillier, and lots more noisy than the Shark. Which is weird, because I always remembered it as being quiet. My wife's helmet is one of those funky colored Arai's. That one IS quieter and more comfortable...

I've been wearing one for about a year now. It is light as hell, and the first head check I did while riding felt like I was missing my helmet! I've got a few complaints with it. It chips and cracks rather easily, just going through a normal day of being carried and bumping into stuff. It's all...

No, apparently I didn't. When I had the 4,000 service done, the report said they were at 57%. So I assumed that another 4,000 miles would reduce that down to replacement percentages. When I pulled out the old ones, they were almost as thick as the new ones. But I chalked it up to more experience...

Yesterday, I changed the oil, spark plugs and brake pads. A longer funnel would have been useful. I was putting in a synthetic blend 20-50, and it was cold to boot. Very thick and slow going. There was nothing wrong with my existing plugs, I just wanted the experience of opening up the bike a...

When I first got the bike, I was going down a small side street, and saw that the last 50 yards to the stop sign was one big ice sheet. I came to a stop before it, put it in neutral, and straddle walked to the sign. There were several points that I felt the ABS pulse. It will kick in on ice...

Roughly about the same time you were having your ordeal in Burien, my wife and I were two up on our '07 FJR on I-5, coming back to FedWay from Southcenter. It was chilly, but the thermometer said 43, and everything was dry... ...and right before the Kent-Des Moines exit, in the space of about...

C'mon guys! Lots of people jumped on the poster for not Googling for the answer to begin with, then proceeded to give him the wrong answer anyway! He wasn't asking for Group Riding signals. "I see motorcyclists wave to each other on a regular basis, so I am wondering if there are some standard...
