Re: [DSN_KLR650] Re: klr650 " Noisy Helmets...."nklr Yup, I read both those reports. Made me appreciate my J.C. Whitney model all the more. To my taste the same is true of beers. I’ve transcended pricey micro brews. Although I occasionally drink imports ( Mostly Polish brews when I’m in Chicago and New York – can’t find them in Colorado ), I usually enjoy a fine macro brew. My wife would disparage me as a man of low tastes until.....she read in one of her cooking magazines that Pabst Blue Ribbon ( which I favor ) is now considered very fashionable. Bogdan

In the case of helmets, it keeps you alive if someone else, or you, do something stupid. So take time to find the helmet that fits and provides you with the best noise protection. Keep the rubber side down. albatross who just by the fact that he is alive proves that good helmets save lives (& hope to prove one day that the life was worth saving) --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogro ups.com , slipper21@.. . wrote: > > Spend the money!
