"...it's only a scooter!"

[Stig / Major Tom]

Spent another 2 hrs at my dealer - and at long, long, long last did come away with a helmet type & size that will fit me. They pulled out a HJC  XXXXL flip up helmet - that does not crush my forehead, nor rest in my teeth. If they had not tried so many times over the past 3 days to get me to buy a helmet that fit poorly ("....afterall, you're just riding a scooter!") .....well, I came  home and purchased it for $40 less on eBay. Free delivery in about 5 days. Turns out that price was not a factor - I just could not get my big, strangely shaped head in ANY brand of helmet until they handed me that HJC model.

Ordered the weather cover from amazon as recommended by a Like rider here.

So, getting closer to riding this scooter. !!
BTW, I DID walk out yesterday when the saleslady made that remark about helmets and scooters.
And, have been searching out some tool kits, small manual tire pumps, patch kits, and small Italian flag decals :-)

I don't have your patience. I bought my helmet before buying my scooter. Having three large motorcycle accessory shops within 20 minutes of my house made finding a helmet a snap.

Enjoy your new Like. It's a sweet scooter that amazes me each and every time I ride mine.

I like the HJC's. I sold mine and got a $500 Arai that the dealer had as a bargain for $100 and
regretted it so much I had to buy another HJC! They should fit a bit tight at first as after a short
while they soften up a bit. I'm not too keen on full face as they squish my cheaks so much but
wear them when it's cold out. XXXXL that's a big noggin!

Tom, I just go into uncontrolled pitch oscillations when I hear of such stupidity as that gal uttered. Pinheads like that are really disgusting and usually untrainable.

In the old days...you either get a Bell or a Simpson... not too much choices on helmets...
