WOO HOO!
Well, I've been on the road the past week+ traveling a bit around Texas, but unfortunately it was NOT on the turbo bike but rather in the cage with mama and Pflash the wonderdog. We've been traveling visiting family, helping the mother in law move, eating too much food and visiting a bunch of awesome grandkids. I only returned home a couple of hours ago, but found on my front porch a box from KLIM Snowmobile. Inside was my new K1R helmet that my wife won as a prize at the National in Helen and was good enough to give to me.
So there in Helen, I got to try on the helmets and pick my colors and what-have-you. While it's been hard to wait, tey said the helmet would be delivered in October. But much to my surprise and joy it got here a little early. Since I arrived home long after dark, I haven't had a chance to see the Transition shield turn dark yet, but I've tried it on and latched her down and made some motorcycle noises and this thing is sweet. :motonoises:
While this helmet seems designed to accomodate a variety of head shapes, it has a noticeable bend towards a rounder head shape than mine I think, but iby going a little smaller than I typically do, the sizing and fit seem quite nice. Firm fitting and non-rattling when shaking the head. It's also not cranium crushing which is a trait I cannot tolerate that a lot of helmets seem to have when I undersize them or they just do not fit. THis one seems to do a good job accommodating my fairly eliptical orb. More on that when I've had a chance to actually ride with it for a while. In the meantine, here are some pix.
