First go to the store and do a 30 minute fit test. After you veirfy it is the correct one we can start to talk about loan terms.

I've been around these type machines most of my career. They've really advanced to teh point some of them can take a CAD drawing and generate the instructions to operate the machine - I assume this is one of those. Not quite sure how the tool change is accomplished - this one did not show that part. I worked with one machine that had a giant carousel containing the tools. If you've ever played HALO that would be a good mental image. The setup sheet specified which tools got loaded into which slot - the machine could then select and change its own tools. Pretty cool stuff.

I, for one, welcome our tech overlords. Particularly if they can sculpt me an aluminum helmet of my own design.

How comfortable would it be internally when the heat index reaches 107F?

It is highly reflective blocking radiant heat. The cool factor will take care of heat index.

Well, that's exactly what we need in Texas, especially now!
It has been 100+ every other day for the last six weeks now...

I am always aware that on "that day" when I ride w/o, the first sudden impact would be my last sudden impact.
It would be just my luck.
