So What is the difference between a $35 DOT helment and a $200+ DOT helment? (besides the obvious $165.)

HJC makes pretty inexspensive helmets, but I think they lead the pack for the classic "mushroom head" look on their half helmets. they put a fair amout of foam and such inside the shell, so it makes for a thicker overall "wall"... hence the mushroom look. Also, that thicker wall creates more lift at higher speeds.

If you read this rather lengthy but informative article, you will find that the cheaper DOT helmet may in fact do a better job of protecting the ol' noggin than the more expensive, harder helmets. My conclusion was buy the cheaper helmet, which I did as mentioned above. (GMax 35S) i would try one on before I bought it. I ususally wear a large, but in the Gmax I wore a Medium ...FYI

Fulmer Hombre DOT----$50. This is a half shell with visor. Great lid, and doesnt feel like you have a parachute strapped to your head. Our local Honda dealer had them..

Perhaps you could make on out of paper mache. Paint it black. From a distance no one will be able to tell.
Or how about wearing a collander on your head? Just blacken it with a magic marker.
Football helmet? Batting helmet? How about a helmet from one of those soldier playsets for kids?
Try a swap meet/flea market. good luck.
