Seriously, though...I moved here when my Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer....in 2001. Helped her through that trauma...she survived....and now I'm stuck as my daughter doesn't want to move again during High School.

Boston will still be there when she's graduated...until then I just bide my time.

Cuz it's nothing but blond & blue-eyed.......Italians don't do wheat & corn

And the token Mexican working the fields (or at the Chinese restaurant)

Good on you for moving to take care of your mom though

A guy I met at Road Atlanta a few weeks ago had that helmet. The LIGHTEST helmet I've ever held, probalby 1/3 the weight of my Shoei.

I never thought my next helmet would be an HJC, but it's damn sure leaning that way. The owner said it makes a huge difference at speed (it was his first time at RA and he was running 1:34's his second session, so I believe him ) and his neck isn't nearly as strained at the end of the day.

Texas and HJC go well together - both are second rate.

My exo-1000 is heavy. Feels like they replace the foam shell with a rubber shell for the added weight. LOL Also, it's fucking loud. I don't give a shit of people put in their reviews on it being quite. It's not. My cheapy Walmart helmet is more quite.
