Garanimals

With the higher seating position on the ST4S, Roomie decided that she needed a full-face helmet to replace the ¾ helmet we purchased last year. Choosing a brand and a model was fairly straightforward—I was ready for an upgrade from the HJC I bought back in Maryland when we were strapped for cash. I had had Shoei's for years before that. Both of them were in advanced disintegration before I managed to get rid of them. More difficult than choosing the model was choosing the color: I first had a black Shoei, then a red one. Most recently the HJC was in Safety Yellow.

To commemorate the new bike and keep in line with my pattern of not repeating colors, I opted for a light silver RF-1000. Jill had chosen the TZ-R because it came in orange, but at the very last moment pulled the trigger on a Monza Red model instead. As it turns out, our helmets are a Garanimals-type match to the ST4S. See for yourself.
