It’s the middle of March, so you know what that means…time to order motorcycle accessories! We were both off yesterday, so we went to Zepka’s to order some stuff Brian needed for his bike and to get helmets. Originally, I was going to wait until later in the summer to purchase my helmet, but I was caught up in the excitement of it all so I decided to get mine yesterday, too. As it turned out, it was a good decision because we got a discount on our first order since he bought his bike there.
One thing I did learn is that people simply do not look cool while wearing motorcycle helmets unless they are on a bike. It didn’t help that I got a 3/4 coverage helmet that’s approximately the width of my body. I look completely ridiculous, but at least I’ll still have a brain left if my head ever meets the pavement. Brian, on the other hand, got one of those half helmets. Apparently, he’s only concerned with the top half of his brain. But he does look slightly less ridiculous than I do. Particularly when he’s wearing his other motorcycle gear. We’ll probably buy additional helmets in the future so that we each have different types so we can pick and choose depending on where we’re going to be riding. For example, highway driving= 3/4 helmet. tooling around town=1/2 helmet. At least that’s the formula I’m going to use.
