Looks like I'm a pinhead  :grin:

AGV helmets fits me very well, have a full-face one (https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/agv-gt-veloce-txt-helmet) but it seams like the side vision is somewhat limited. In addition it is nowhere as quiet as my open-face Davida helmet. Just couple weeks ago received a new AGV K-5 Jet Urban helmet https://goo.gl/5cY2a1 which is not available in North America for 2018. I had to order it from Germany, it has no DOT certification just ECE 22.05 but in Canada is fully legal. I didn't have chance to take it for a ride, we still in the middle of the winter in Ontario. The first impression is very good. Great side vision, the shield covers entire face and can be lifted at 3 different preset position, sun visor, etc. For $400 CAD including shipping, taxes and duty it is very good buy in my opinion.

How old am I (don't attempt to answer that question)?

I had 2 of the original version of these helmets back in the day, not in Ago colors, but it had Ago on the helmet one in silver and one in white

The silver one saved my face when I had my one and only "Off" at speed on a bike (young, stupid, inexperienced & invincible).

Back then they were expensive and the choices for full face helmets were pretty limited, but the vision on the Ago was way superior to its main rival the Bell and the helmet was much lighter

I loved them, but I don't think I'd want one now, would still love a Griffin Clubman in white though

Looks cool, but what about venting. In Oklahoma, you need good venting from April thru October.

Always liked those as well...never tried one on...have used SHOEI and ARAI helmets for years, and a LARGE model fits me perfectly....not sure about the "pinhead" aspect however... :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

Everybody's head is different.... :laugh: :grin: :wink:

There are several Rossi replica helmets for a couple hundred $.

I read that Rossi was caught wearing a Shoei with an AGV sticker on it.  Probably fake news.

I like the way they look, too. I’ve never tried an AGV...perhaps my super-grande cabeza (63cm) is too large. I had that problem with Scorpion lids, also.

I can wear shoei and bell, that's it. I really wanted to upgrade to a Schubert but it was like putting my dome in a vice😝

Helmets are like seats (or heads are like butts), everyone's is a bit different in size and shape, so one size doesn't fit all. Google "lidpicker.com" and get the concept of what they do. You can do the same measurement thing yourself and there are plenty of reports on the web as to what helmets fit what shape heads.

If I ride like Ago, the venting will take care of itself...and I won't need to worry who is behind me...only who is in FRONT... :evil:
