Be still my heart be still!

So to sidetrack this thread to helmets now.....I like that Caberg that you bought.  Although it looks much better on your wife, I am thinking (who does NOT need any change to the boob department).  How did you find the sizing (helmet, not bewbs).
I should like to get me one of them (either).

Well it's not a side track Caberg are from Italy, so was the outfit she had on and so are MV's so we are still on track.
Except for the wife, she's from Finland. Found her at a buss stop....damn that public transportation!
OK well I bought it about two years ago after I face planted while wearing a Carberg Justissimo. Totally reached the lid! Grabbed the front brakes too hard flew over the handle bars came down face first and the thing saved my gorgeous face! So after recovering and rebuilding the bike I decided to pick up another Caberg.
But finding them in the US proved to be difficult to say the least so I hit google. Found one at www.motobrio.com, but the web page doesn't seem to be working. A quick google search yielded http://www.designerhelmets.com/prodcat.php?cat=Caberg
I opted for the trip due to two reasons.
1) Looked way cooler!
2) Smaller! The exterior dimensions were just a tad bit smaller.
And so far I have to say it's very nice. Working the visor may take some getting use to but the fit and finish of the lid is very nice.
As for the sizing, motobrio had a saize chart (metric) and I did email their guy Russ a few times asking what size fit me the best. But you could also use this.

Women that receive breast implants are three times as likely to commit suicide.

I've got a real Rolex and my wife has real boobies.  Does that make me half-successful or twice as successful?  

The part about toys being for sale is 100.00% true.  Used aircraft prices are in the crapper right now.  Two reasons for that.  One is the economy, the other is fuel prices.  It's a tough justification to buy a light-twin that burns 25+/- gallons per hour when avgas is still costing $4.50 to $5.50.  

The good news is, if you've lusted after a Cessna 310, the opportunity to buy is better than it's ever been!

OK let me be a flaming dick for a second......
We men age like fine wine....women more like French bread. We mellow out and enrichen, they harden up and sag.
I'm not too worried, I was a later bloomer when it came to the ladies and feel I could have had more fun.
So if she buys them and jumps off.......two words my friend Swedish Stewardesses!


Now that aside, you think this economic crysis will effect the new market? Will high end products be sold at a lower price just to clean out inventory?

I'll say that I followed the Shah and purchased a Trip off his recomend. It's a pretty cool and functional helmet. The only thing I don't like is the chin-bar is 1/4 inch off my chin with the face locked down. Though, on the other hand, it's got big roomy areas to park you ear-bits in with no pressure points on the ear-tips which has been a problem for my goofy ears in the past. Mostly I'd say in the general relm that the helmet doesn't suck and it's pretty good overall. Here's a recent action photo with the hemet in question.

Yeah it's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination.
But...you do look like a viper jockey when you put one one!
And let's face it! We need to look good so we can feel good!
