New Shoeis are out - any sales on old models?
« on: September 24, 2009, 11:13:30 AM »
The RF-1000 & X-11 have been replaced by the RF-1100 and X-12

Has anybody yet seen any discounts on the older models?

I've been watching an RF-1000 with the 'Sever TC-1' graphic on eBay for a couple of months now and it has always sat at $329.00 + $20.00 S/H till this past week. Now it has dropped to $314.99 or best offer. Of course the helmets without graphics are even cheaper and I would keep an eye out for them to get even more so. As the new RF-1100's and X-Twelve's start hitting the market you can bet these guys will be pushing to get rid of the old RF-1000's and X-Eleven's.

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

Don't forget to check those dates on so called bargain helmets - up inside in the lining is the manufactureres date. The helmet is safe for 5 years from that date and "bargain" helmets often are 2 years into this period already....caveat emptor!  ;)
