As you should be. If theres a day your not alittle scared to open it up, your gonna be up to your eyes in scars...

BTW, Nice choice. Taking the safety courses are we? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

yep! i haven't registered for it yet but i'm gettin on it... i'm keeping the bike at hotcarl's house until we get our lisence, cuz we have our permits so we can go riding with his dad. I'm getting a pretty bad @ss leather jacket for it too, matching CBR jacket!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif going with a HJC helmet as well

 
Congrats, I got a 04' f4i (same thing as yours, just different subframe). I'm sure you'll be careful on it at first, but it's the timeframe after that you should be worried about. You'll have become comfortable with it finally, and get this false sense of confidence thinking you can push the bike harder than you really can. This is where most people **** up. Just be aware of that i think you'll be good to go. Have fun with it bro

my one advice is, if you are going to put something on your head, go with nothing but the best. and hjc's are not the best. i have been in motorsports for over 10 years, to this day i wont stick anything but a simpson or a bell on my head.

Just because HJC isn't the most pricey doesn't mean he shouldn't get it. The most important thing for a helmet is that it's DOT approved. If it's DOT approved, he's fine. The HJC will protect his head just as well as a Shoei. May not be as comfortable, or may not be as ventilated, but it'll get the job done.

pretty much any helmet that you buy from a shop will be dot, snell 95,98, or m2000, or m2006 rated. i still wouldnt never stick a bieffe or anything like that on my head over a simpson or bell. quality is so much better. trust me, i have had tons of helmets. if i find pics of mine, i will post them. custom painted simpson speedway shark with the fx package //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Yeah, quality is better, but poor broke ass people like me don't really get the chance to buy them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif Also, I'd be warry about SNELL aproved helmets. I heard that they are actually TOO HARD and don't give enough when you get in a crash causing your brain to take more of the blow. That's just what I've heard though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Not true. I won't put anything on unless it's proven. Shoei and Arai are what have been on my head, and I won't look back. When I get some more money to spend on a lid I'll even go up into the higher bucks.

One thing I have to say to people who use them being broke as an excuse...

"THERES NO PRICE ON YOUR HEAD"

I was 17 and bought a $450 Shoei, an didn't even really work. I will never regret (sp) it.

thats why all major motorsports use them as the standard //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif . to me money is no object when protecting my head.
