But today we went sopping for bike gear for me.
I walked away with a pair of great kevlar jeans, and a pair of the most comfiest, warmest, awesome gloves.
My bf got a new helmet, and a few other bits and peices. His helmet is pretty sweet.
I really like it.
Before we left though, I had a quick look on ebay to see prices, styles etc.
I fell in love with this:
The brand: HJC
The model: Faery
(cant really see it in this pic, but towards the back of the helmet is a faery)
Its beautiful. I'm in love. I want it.
The only thing I'm not totally keen on is the fact it is WHITE!!!
If you know me, you'll know I despise white. Hate it with a passions when it comes to cars, bikes, etc. Walls and clothing, not so much.
We were talking to the chick at the shop, and I showed her my beloved helmet, and mentioned my distaste for white, and she assured me its more of a creamy-ish, off white colour, as opposed to white.
The chick was full of info on this helmet. Said it was bought out late '09, early '10, and knew exactly what helmet i was talking about before i'd even found her the pic! I guess thats why she works in a bike shop :-P
Also said if I really wanted the helmet, chances are I"d have to buy it online, as its an older style, so shops probably wont stock it.
I will have a search online for it, but may have to settle on something else. *sigh*
Its ok though, already found one on ebay i don't mind - black, with silver barbed wire running over the helmet, and the wire has a pink outline. Not a heap of pink, so it's a helmet I wouldn't mind wearing.
Just coz I"m a girl, doesn't mean I need to have pink gear.
The search will continue....
