Proper motorcycle helmet fitment

Although ordering a helmet isn’t a true science, making sure it fits properly is very important. To make sure you are wearing the right helmet for your head, follow these steps to protect you on the road.
First, measure your head. Wrap a tape measure horizontally around your head about one inch above your eyebrows. Find a string to wrap it around the largest portion of your head and mark it where the two ends touch.
Once you've measured it several times, check a fitment chart for the branded helmet you want to buy and select the helmet closest to your head size. Knowing if you have a round, oval, egg or reverse egghead is important to choosing a helmet so look at the fitment chart.
If your head measures in between two sizes choose the smaller motorcycle helmet size.
Second, try on the motorcycle helmet! To do so, expand the opening with your hands and then slide it onto your head. To avoid ripping them, don’t pull on the chinstrap covers, only the chinstrap itself.
A properly fitting helmet will be very snug but once you begin to wear your motorcycle helmet, it will fit your head better and become a little bit looser.
Third, ensure your is the absolute best fit for you by going through the following steps with the motorcycle helmet on.
Step one, does the motorcycle helmets inner lining fit snuggly around your head?
Step two, does the motorcycle helmets top pad press closely on the top of your head?
Step three, are the cheek pads touching your cheeks?
Step four, does the brow lining fit snuggly against your brow?
With the proper fitting motorcycle helmet you should have answered yes to all these questions.
Also, you should not be able to insert your fingers between the lining and your brow.
Fourth, to make sure the motorcycle helmet is best for your head, put the motorcycle motorcycle helmet on and try these exercises.
First, pull the motorcycle helmet from side to side and up and down.
Second, after you have tightened the chinstrap, try to pull the motorcycle helmet off by rotating it forward.
Third, put your hand under the chin guard and try to push the motorcycle helmet off by rotating it to the rear. If you have been able to complete these exercises without the motorcycle helmet coming off, you have found the motorcycle helmet for you.
Taking the time to pick out the right motorcycle helmet for you is very important. By following these steps, you will be able to find out which motorcycle helmet is best for you and get back on the road.

Snowmobile Helmet Quick Release

Mark just sent us this awesome email:

Thanks!

These are my third and fourth helmet quick- release mechanisms. They are the best for snowmobiling by far and now I’ll have them in time to install on new helmets for the first ride of the year.

Mark

Mark wants us to tell everyone that our Snowmobile Helmet Quick Releases are the best. Mark says, "Since Yamaha OEM helmets discontinued quick- connect straps about 10 years back I’ve been looking for a good clip. You have one that is sturdy and easy to use. (No connect works with snowmo mitts on!)."

All the single ladies (All the single ladies) All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
All the single ladies
Now put your hands up

[Verse 1]
Up in the club, we just broke up
I'm doing my own little thing
You decided to dip but now you wanna trip
Cause another brother noticed me
I'm up on him, he up on me
don't pay him any attention
Cause I cried my tears, for three good years
Ya can't be mad at me

[Chorus:]
Cause if you liked it then you should have put a Purple Woman Neoprene Face Mask on it
If you liked it then you should've put a Purple Woman Neoprene Face Mask on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you should've put a Purple Woman Neoprene Face Mask on it

Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
I got gloss on my lips, a man on my hips
Hold me tighter than my Dereon jeans
Acting up, drink in my cup
I could care less what you think
I need no permission, did I mention
Don't pay him any attention
Cause you had your turn
And now you gonna learn
What it really feels like to miss me

[Chorus]

Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh
Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh

[Bridge]
Don't treat me to these things of the world
I'm not that kind of girl
Your love is what I prefer, what I deserve
Is a man that makes me then takes me
And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond
Pull me into your arms
Say I'm the one you want
If you don't, you'll be alone
And like a ghost I'll be gone

All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
All the single ladies
Now put your hands up

Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh
Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh

[Chorus x2]

Wuh uh oh

Venetian Neoprene Face Mask

Let this show you just how desperate we are to name neoprene face masks. Really, all you need to do is put up a Youtube page and you are in.

Check out the newest one:

The ZANheadgear Venetian Neoprene Face Mask was named after Jodie-Amy Rivera (born February 22, 1984), also known as VenetianPrincess. She is a YouTube Internet personality who created her account in 2006. Rivera is of Swedish and Italian ancestry and grew up in Brockton, MA. Her videos are usually parodies of songs and events in pop culture. As of October 2015, her two channels have a combined subscriber count just under 1 million, and a collective total of more than 340 million video views. She gained notoriety in 2006 after being featured on the front page of YouTube, and then in 2007 was one of the first people invited into YouTube's revenue sharing program. In December 2008, Samsung announced that her music video for her original song "Somewhere Else" is the pre-installed video on all Samsung Behold cell phones. PC World Magazine named her "7 Things Guys Don't Have To Do" music video one of the top 10 viral videos of 2008. She was the most subscribed female in the world from February 2009 to August 2012.

Honda recalls 145,000 Gold Wings for brake fix

WASHINGTON, D.C. - American Honda Motor Co. is recalling 145,219 GL1800s from multiple model years to replace a potentially defective secondary master cylinder.

This recall, NHTSA No. 15V700000, is an update to Recall 15V472000 issued in 2014, which was an update to a 2011 recall (see links below).

According to the recall notice posted by NHTSA, the rear brakes on these vehicles may drag after the brakes are released. A rear brake that drags could increase the risk of a crash, moreover, extended riding with the rear brake dragging could generate enough heat to cause a fire, the OEM said.

Dealers are asked to replace the secondary brake master cylinder and the rear brake master cylinder, and flush the brake fluid, free of charge. The OEM is notifying customers, and has issued a stop-sale notice to dealers for all unrepaired vehicles.

Affected in the recall are the following models:

GL 1800 - 2001-2010 and 2012-15 model years
GL 1800A - 2001-05 model years
GL 1800B - 2013-15 model years
"Under conditions where the brake fluid is not replaced according to the maintenance schedule, deposits may form within the brake fluid, leading to component malfunction within the secondary master cylinder, which may cause the rear brake to drag," Honda said. A redesigned secondary master cylinder is now available for dealers to correct the situation, the OEM added.
As of October, American Honda said it had received 36 warranty claims and 22 field reports, with no fires or injuries related to this issue for motorcycles that were not contained within the 14V-472 recall range.
