Hi Everyone! I'm new and have never owned or driven a motorcycle before. I do, however, drive a manual truck. After a long time of researching and debating, I decided on the GZ250. I bought a bike off craigslist for a deal that I just couldn't pass up. I've named her Lucille. She needs some minor work, but she is up and running great. Now, she is sitting taunting me while I am trying to scrape up the money to get the MSF course and licensed. I did just get her taxed, tagged and registered today. So at least that is a step in the right direction. I also went helmet shopping this last weekend and boy was it a NIGHTMARE! I live in Tallahassee, FL, so not a lot of options in town. Also, I have a very tiny and narrow head. In addition to a "long oval" head shape it is very very small. The XS were too big in a couple of different brands. I tried on some youths but they weren't cut right or something and simply didn't fit. I have a local shop ordering a couple xxs full faced helmets to try. Does anyone have any suggestions on helmet fitting for tiny/ narrow heads. Brands that run small? Thoughts on ordering online? I'm excited to be part of the forum.
Thanks,
Pamela
