whoa...

my noodle is gonna be just that much more prepared for the impending apocalypse. I guess it's only fitting that my new helmet is worth considerably more than any of my motorcycles. Thank you kind folks at Icon, this is a mind blower...

Going back a few, my quest for this particular style of helmet goes back a ways. check out this little review I did on a cheapo knock off

Helmet review...AFX FX39

So last sunday I ordered the AFX FX39 dualsport helmet, I cant stand having a trend pass me by without participating...

For those who know me, the know I am probably the cheapest mother fucker on the planet, some of this comes from years of being a starving artist and not really having any money at all, and some comes from my great depression style upbringing. This helmet was priced nice at $114.00 + 6.00 bucks shipping. It also comes with mixed reviews, but I have a tendency to skip over the negative reviews if I really want something, sort of pretend they are not even there.
So Friday I get home from work and mr. mailman left me a package! Awesome!
I rush inside and rip open the box and pull out the beautiful looking helmet. Upon first inspection it seems tight, not super light, but not a tank either, looks good. Then I put it on. As quickly as I put it on, I pulled it off and shoved it back in the box. This helmet is the biggest piece of shit I have ever had the misfortune of stuffing my bean in. In the morning it will be promptly sent back. AFX FX-39 get two gigantic thumbs down. Ill fitting, terrible padding, in the two seconds it was on it was obviuos the venting sucked as it instantly steamed up.
My six year old $99.00 Z1 helmet is ten times the helmet of this pos.
I realize I am blowing my opportunity for a AFX endorsement by writing this, but fuck this company, fuck them to h e double hockey sticks.

Thank you for letting me rant.

Now, back to blogging about random things...
