Deep sigh!
After more than 7 months off the bike I've been itching to get my new lid (on order for 5 months from AGV but i've just not needed it, until now) and, as it STILL wont be available until mid-May (it's only a v-flyer in a new colour scheme so nothing fancy!) AGV agreed to lend me a lid until mine was ready.
Yippee!
I went to collect it on Friday only to find that, although it's marked up as my size it's 2 sizes too small Angry isn't the way I'd describe the way I felt when I walked out of the shop!
I'd like to go elsewhere and get a different lid but my dealers been very good to me and besides, I've got about £270 left on account with em from the insurance payout and all I'm left needing is a lid! Mind you, I suppose I will look a bit "bright" with my new RED (Yes Roy, RED) Spidi 2-piece and blue gloves and boots! so I could always get replacement red items and put the rest towards my next service (still under warranty).
So should I wait until next weekend to get a "replacement" loan helmet whilst they promise to deliver the one I want mid-May?
Or should I say sod it and just go out tomorrow and get a different lid anyway (trouble is I only really get on with AGV's)?
I dunno, that'd still leave me with an itsy bitsy problem :P You see I promised Mrs Psy that, for my first ride, I'd go out with someone that could help me if I had problems or did something silly (dunno what THAT could possibly mean ) and dunno who's gonna be available in the area with the trackday looming up?
