Being on a bike for 40+ hours weekly, this is what I choose to wear. Better safe than sorry! Seen a lot of serious injuries out there.

A neck injury? Ridiculous unless there is a diagnosed medical condition. Personally, I have never heard of such occurring.

I'm talking about an existing condition. I have a neck injury that ended my military career earlier than I would like. Its not that I am even remotely feeble, its my injury that impairs my enjoyment of riding my bike, the lightest possible helmet that I can get helps to mitigate some of that pain and make it tolerable. Just because you never heard of something doesn't necessarily make it impossible, yes added weight to your head such as a helmet does have the potential to actually cause greater injury in an impact or accident. Never heard of such a thing huh? Well I'll be. We cant all be professional tough guys, consider yourself fortunate.

Heres the photos of me wearing each helmet.I did not start this thread to debate the safest or the helmet with the most padding.I thought that i could save some guys some money and time.When i bought the skid lid alot of people said that it was the smallest and the lightest dot helmet out there.When i received it is was not much different than my Harley helmet. I was disappointed.So the ak88 came along and after watching the video and going back and forth with a few emails i decided to buy one.I'm very pleased with the helmet...It is WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR..

Why cop an attitude? I referenced the issue of a medical condition making helmet weight an issue.

Sorry man, it sure seemed to me like you weren't pickin' up what I was puttin' down, so I figured I'd go ahead and break it down to the molecular level, and eliminate any possibility of further miscommunication on this rather simple concept. Peace.
