Well, let me tell you, you gotta have a good helmet when you’re out there on one of them adventure motorcycles. Ain’t no joke, riding them things. My grandson, he’s got one. Big ol’ thing. He’s always talking about his “adventure helmet”. Says it’s important, and I reckon he’s right. You hit your head, that’s it, game over.
So, this here adventure helmet, it’s gotta fit right. Like a good pair of shoes, you know? If it’s too loose, it’ll be floppin’ around, won’t do you no good. Too tight, and you’ll get a headache worse than my old rooster’s crowing in the morning. I saw my grandson measurin’ his head one time. He had this tape, like the one I use for sewin’. Went right around his head, above his eyebrows.
He says that’s how you find your size. Smart boy, that one. That’s step one, they call it. You measure your head to find a perfect fit helmet.
- Measure your head
- Find your size
- Perfect fit
And there’s all kinds of these helmets, too. Different shapes and sizes. Some look like they’re from one of them space movies. He showed me pictures. Fancy things. This adventure helmet is important, he says. Gotta protect your noggin. I told him, “You be careful out there!” He just laughed. Young folks, they think they’re invincible. But a good helmet, that’s like having a guardian angel right there on your head. These adventure motorcycle helmets are made to keep you safe.
Now, I don’t know all the fancy names and such. But he was talkin’ about one called, uh… Arai? Arai XD4, I think it was. He said it’s the best adventure helmet. Sounds like a car, if you ask me. But he says it’s top of the line. Must be expensive, I bet. But hey, you can’t put a price on safety, right? Arai XD4, that is a good one. You need a good helmet, that’s what you should look for, he said.
And these helmets, they got all sorts of doohickeys on ’em. Straps and buckles and whatnot. Gotta make sure they’re all fastened up tight. Like buttoning up your coat in the winter. You don’t want any cold air sneakin’ in, same with your head. You don’t want that helmet comin’ off if you take a tumble. This adventure helmet, it needs to be snug.
My grandson, he’s always talkin’ about these “safety features.” Like them helmets are little fortresses for your head. I guess that’s a good thing. They got padding inside, like a comfy pillow. And some of ’em even got these things that let the air flow through. Keeps your head cool, I suppose. Important when you’re out there in the hot sun, riding those adventure bikes.
He goes on these long trips, you see. Rides for miles and miles. Says it’s an adventure. I told him, “Adventure is stayin’ home and tendin’ to your garden!” But he just laughs. He loves that motorcycle. And he always wears that
