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.
The Suomy ranked the best of the "premium brand" helmets. I guess I need to clearcoat Hodgkins autograph on my replica and start wearing it again. [thumbsup]
