Cruisers block some of the wind and sport bikes don't... not to hard to figure out if you ride all kinds of bikes you most likely have more then one helmet... I don't care for helmets and we don't have a helmet law but it's way better on a sport bike with a full face helmet then with a half helmet or skid lid.

Arizona is the same, and I rarely see anyone wearing a helmet. I am in a fairly small town though. If you see someone with a helmet on they are usually from California (we are on the state line).

I'm trying to get used to a FF. Can do around town but at highway speeds for extended periods of time it hits me.
Was thinking maybe it was the type of visor or something.

Saw this helmet Saturday. The lights come on with the bike brake lights.

Wired or wireless? It almost has to be wired.

I couldn't tell. By the time I got my phone out and took the pix they had changed lanes and I couldn't follow them.
The slots by the lights were speakers I think.

I guess I still need to get used to using LEDs for these types of applications. I just read a report on a lighted helmet, not necessarily this one, that left the lights on and blinking for at least 5 weeks continuously without running the batteries down.

Are you seeing a wave in the ground when you look around?

Maybe there is a defect in the face shield.Is it different with the face shield up?

What brand helmet do you have?
