I'm trying to find a helmet to wear with my cb500x that has a drop down sun visor. My head is 22 5/8'' or 57.5 cm. That puts me in a medium for most helmets. I've tried a HJC RPHA 72 and a SHoei Gt Air 3 both in medium so far and they feel ok around the crown and i can barely stick a finger in across the forehead but they barely touch my cheeks. Both chin straps are uncomfortable against my adams apple especially when looking down a bit. There is actually a gap between the pads and my cheeks with the RPHA 72, and the GT Air 3 just barely touches them.

I'm not sure if its common for people to need different cheek pads, or if i actually need to size down to a small. The closest cyclegear is a 3 hour round trip for me...and they also dont carry the HJC. I'm feeling pretty discouraged - i was sure shelling out for the shoei was going to do the trick...but the shoei is actually massive and pretty heavy compared to the HJC and it still has the cheek fit issue for me.

I just moved into a new rental house and the living room has this nice big bay window and cool slanted ceiling with exposed beams. It is pretty bare right now because im still re-purchasing stuff from my out of state move and you can see i'm getting creative with temporary accommodations, but i think it has potential. I want a bunch of plants in this room to take advantage of that huge window.

I cannot figure out how i should arrange the couch and TV. It feels wrong to block the window with either the couch or the TV. It also feels wrong putting the TV against the wall where that dog bed is now and putting the couch opposite so the back is exposed because itd be cutting off the flow and would leave just 6'3'' of space for walking and end tables. The couch reclines on both ends, so i dont know if a coffee table is practical, which is why i was planning on end tables instead. I think i'll end up with another chair or love seat, bookshelves / plant shelves (could hang shelves and what not from those ceiling beams because there are lips on each side), a tv stand that is lower to the floor, and i guess idk what to do about the coffee table / end table situation.

What would yall do with this room? Thank you so much, im a total noob i will spend weeks overanalyzing this!
