Bought a new helmet the other day (right) to replace the 7 year old helmet (left) I've been using for ... well, seven years. They're both Scorpions and the new one is the model that replaced the old one. I think I picked out the wrong size. The new one is an XL because I have a giant head and I checked, the old one is just an L. So, I may have to head back and try an L on to see if it fits better.

Otherwise, it's a lighter carbon fiber as opposed to the older plastic and grabs my head around the crown and the jawline as opposed to squeezing my cheeks together. It's more an all-purpose helmet than a touring or race specific style, which I'm okay with.

I wish the striping was reflective though. That way I'd be noticeable at night, but I'm not complaining.

I went from XL in an HJC to my Shoei which is L.

It's difficult to compare a worn helmet fit to a new helmet fit, I've found.

I find it's daytime when people can't see me. Headlights and marker lights make me show up like a car. It's daytime I find the problem. Go for a high visibility vest for something if you're concerned, those things stand out.

Timothy Arnold they did do an entire redesign on the helmet for this "range" and style. It fits, it's just not snug.

Had a chance to ride with this helmet finally. It's light! So light, in fact, I kept thinking it was made of styrofoam and would fly off my head at any moment. It reminded me of some cheap styrofoam helmets my mom bought us as kids. The field of view was also fantastic! Whereas my previous Scorpion helmet had decent field of view, this one seems more like IMAX compared to regular movie watching.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
