    I can't express enough how important proper gloves are as well. I was going maybe 10/15 mph when i went head over handlebars. I broke my left wrist when my hands went out to catch me. No gloves, bone go CRONCH. If i had been wearing some impact resistant gloves, i might have been spared the indignity of a cast, which DID make my arm & hand smell like a sweaty ballsack for two weeks before i had surgery

    i was surprised when i read that the Styrofoam in helmets has a lifespan. Usually about six years or so. As it ages, it hardens and become pretty much useless to absorbing energy. Then its just the hard shell and your brain fighting the 70 g's impact when you just slammed into the asphalt. Of all the places to cut corners, please do not buy a 'cheap' no name helmet. Buy a name brand modern helmet that protects that porn getter in your skull case. A quality helmet is truly worth a million dollars in keeping you from being a helpless resident in a medical bed for the rest of your life, Spend the money, buy the quality, you are damn sure worth every penny.

    I have transition lenses for my glasses (yeah, yeah...), so I can imagine it'd be nice for a visor. Bear in mind though, if they do work like glasses lenses, they may darken at weird times too (mine get pretty dark if I'm outside on a cold, grey day). Just something to consider.

    Hi Yammie Noob, subscribed and a fan of your channel. I'm an old (62) and old school fan of your channel. I agree with everything on this video but one thing. Mostly I've bought new but discontinued discount models of helmets in the $100 to $120 range. But a couple of times I've bought used high end ($600+ new) Shoei and Arai helmets for a fraction of new price and think they are a smart value. They are noticeably better than cheap helmets in most characteristics but just not worth that new price for me.

    I bought a second hand helmet a few years ago on a flea market. It was looking brand new and I could have swear it was not used more than a couple time and it was a very good brand. Unfortunately after a few months the rubber part's started disintegrating...really falling apart just at the lightest touch. That was my last ever attempt to buy second hand helmet... As far as cheap gears, you must consider the fact that you have a limited budget. So, is it better to spend your money on "supposedly" high quality for a few items...or save on the helmet to be able to afford a cheap leather full body and a chinese airbag jacket.

Also true for the helmet i had to settle for a jet helmet since i already spent a lot on the bike itself

A really recommend this bike, but sometimes when I'm on the interstate I wish I would have started on something with just a little more power. A 400cc sportbike.
      After that I had a CBR600RR which I sold and currently have a Yamaha R6 and Suzuki GSXR1000. I made the mistake of rushing my progress though and the 1000 I'm not comfortable riding on the street yet.
