:S Everyone doesn't have the same skull size!!

I know that you are into bikes and biking in a major way but you sure on this??:(
Click to expand...

lemme elaborate.

AGV comes in 3 sizes, 58, 60 62. I have the biggest, i.e., 62. the first time i put it on, was really tight

this pic was taken on the day i bought the helmet. you can notice how my cheeks were getting squashed by the foam of the helmet. maybe i DO have a beeg head :rofl:

anyways... my AGV has removable foam..its all velcroed, so u can take it off n wash it incase it gets dirtied. has a scratchproof visor, small scratches dont appear. visibility at night times is as usual poor :(

you get a sweat cap (mistook it for a bikini the first time i saw it :ashamed: ) after wearing it, its really really tight...

after a month, it will fit u PERFECTLY. u can even ride it w/o straps, and it wont come off even if u have an accident

Not clear in the pic- maybe a slightly more top shot peeping into the visor will help!!
And you are wearing it a tad high!!

Sorry for my noob remark:ashamed: , but cheeks are supposed to get squashed in a new helmet!!
Maybe u have just chubby cheeks(or a wider jawline)!!

Thats one of the pre-requisites of a good fitting helmet!!:cool2:
In fact it should create a better 'POUT' than Angelina Jolie when new!!:p
And maybe reduced with time to that of maybe a Jessica Alba i think- i hope you get the idea !!:rofl:

And i am sorry but there seems to be some room there in the forehead/skull area!!:ashamed:
You sure its not just tight in the cheek area but snug around the forehead circumference too!!:cool2:

pics can be deceptive but from the amount of compression of cheek and temple foam, and the area around the level of your forehead, you needed one size smaller!!:cool2:

And all AGVs have that i suppose!!

And visibility is not bad, especialy with the clear visor you have!!:cool2:
Maybe you got poor night vision or need glasses!!:rofl:
Try consuming more carrots!!:rofl:

There is no alternative to buying a helmet but to try out difeferent sizes- just like shoe sizes differ slighly with diff makes of same size!!
All fit but to be comfortable, one of them is always the Best amongst them!!

Please do not be misled by my nick- i am a noob in this!!
I am not trying to show off my 'GYAN' but couldn't help it as i have always strongly advocated the need for a good fitting helmet- not just any helmet!!

Since Quad will be inactive for quite a few days, ask him to avoid all fast food coz it may cause him a bad stomach...and believe me...having a bad stomach in his condition would be nothing short of a nightmare:p if not worse:bleh:

If he insists too much, u can be so kind as to give him one bite of a buger which you can eat:p

Ask him to drink some fresh juice and warm haldi walla milk...will help him recover soon. And since he has a fracture, he also needs to eat foods with some good calcium content. Thus, fruits are the best for him atm. Make him some fruit chaat.

All this will help him recover soon. Till then its better if he refrains from eating fast food and sticks to home made food.

Click to expand...

you too ??

So, what is the list now?? Me, Bikey, Quaddy and you..... 4 and coutning...

What abt chic_magnet? He broke his leg or what :p ??

@ankita --- Let him eat :p .... Eating junk/fast food is not really harmful unless within limits...

Of course, the negative point is weight :p .... Poor chap cant do any of the other usual stuff.... let him as well indulge in eating :p ....

I said i had a fractured leg.
I didnt mention how.:p
Stop presuming things:) I got it while playing football. A good amt of ligament tear on left ankle with a fracture. It was mightily painful.

As for the list due to accidents on 2 wheelers:
You, Quad, Rishi, Sunnyboi, Chic_magnet (Fractured Rib :p ) and maybe more.

Please note that this isnt a list you want to be on. Its nothing great to have an accident, but quite opposite to it. Very painful and stressful.

hi quad,

hey don't eat fast food yaar. u are gonna gain weight since u won't be moving ur body too much. i.e day to day normal physical activities. consume stuff that has calcium i.e milk, eggs, non-veg (if u are one). fast food does nothing but will grow a bridgestone around ur waist ;) stay away from it until u resume ur normal physical activities.

just my opinion.
cha.

True.... but once you have met with an accident, it can be fun to share your experience with others..... look at it as a good thing also.....

When I broke my back and was on bed rest for 4 weeks (when I was in 8th std), I had NOTHING to do but read, listen to music and watch TV... Had the time of my life :p

This time it wasnt so good..... Had to study for my exams and stuff :( ..

Again true.... but it is not possible to starve yourself for such a long time especially if you love food.

That is why I said, eat fast food but ocassionally and not on a regular basis.

But the biggest change in our house is B4 his accident I use to giv him all the update from T.V,that whoz who iz getting married ,bout new movies ,bout new T.V soaps , B4 each promo is hardly began I use to mention itz name ,and he use to say dat how can u manage to do all this anku,and I use to lift my collar up and say [he he he ye to mere baye hath ka khel hai jo remote ctrl pakad ta hai :eek:hyeah: ] But now all this is done by him, i cant imagine ,but wat the heck he knowz every thing .

And his job was to sit in front of PC 4 hrs ,side by side mom,dad ,aji [grandmom]and I use to shout at him why do u sit there 4 such along time,he use to 4get even bout his food and now itz me at his place and every 1 iz behind me shouting wat r u doin there .
But I would like to say dat TECHENCLAVE iz the best site I hav ever visited in my life itz fun ,updated wit tech newz and many more things,there iz something 4 every one who visits it.

good to see that Sanket is healing well :) ...

And I think that bossing your sis around is the best part of being bed ridden :p ...

But I could NEVER watch those saas bahu melodramas :p Good going Sanket...

@Ankita ---- You cant complain :p .... there is nothing you can do to stop him from bossing you around :D ..... But dont worry.... you will get your revenge soon once he has recovered :p
