Re: dot vs. snell, great artical in the june Motorcyclist
You know, about 90% of the time what gets printed in moto rags is crap - regurgitated press releases. This article is a shining exception - really well researched and not afraid to tell the whole story (well, they puss out on the conclusions a bit, but if you read the article you can come to your own conclusions pretty quickly.)
It does make you think about the "conventional wisdom" and how wrong it can be. Now, am I going to mothball my Shoei and go out and get the Z1R? Probably not, but if I had to buy a new one I'd definitely think about it.
It does make you wonder how much other stuff we "know", but hasn't been subjected to any rigorous testing, is flat wrong.
