Overheard at the parts counter of the shop I recently went to work at;

"The difference between a DOT helmet and a Snell one is that a DOT helmet is good up to a 65 mph crash and a Snell is good up to about 120."

This was said by a parts guy who has worked for the dealership for almost 9 years to a middle aged husband and wife buying their first motorcycle.

I went in the back and beat my (unprotected) head against the wall...
