Sorry to be harsh, but what were you thinking? You want a helmet to protect your head, get a helmet you like, for whatever reason. If your head is cold, get a ski cap. They're a lot cheaper than a rice-burner's helmet.

Just sayin'
This is one of the idiots i was trying to prevent from posting a lame ***, unproductive post to my search.

I like the half helmets and leather cruiser jackets that a large quantity of "Harley" riders wear. Guess you could say I have a similar taste in bikes and gear as many harley riders. Thus, looking at the full face helmets that other riders around here wear, I have a better chance of finding a helmet that I would enjoy owning.

Buying a helmet that I like the look of DOES NOT MEAN I AM NOT TRYING TO PROTECT ME HEAD. If you're one of the guys replying things like "buy what's comfortable, who cares what you look like," move the hell on! You're an idiot and I don't want to waste my time on you.

If you are one of the people that knows of a helmet that you and/or I might like that will fit my taste and protect my head, thank you for your help in my search.

I would like to know too

You wouldn't do that. It's not comfortable, it's not really even feasible. The wind would bhuffet the helmet around. Not intended to be used that way. I wear mine open at very slow speeds (local roads for short distances), but I close it as soon as I'm going over 25-30 mph.

You need to learn some manners.

fukk you. that's what I think of you, and you god damn spam. *******.


I'd bet a few bucks you don't get many people signed up to take your manners class. I'd bet your "pot calling the kettle black" class is all filled up though.

Oh, aren't you clever. You're able to use the search function to find my other posts. Have fun. For your information, that post was in response to an ******* spammer who was abusing this forum by repeatedly posting his spam links. I stand by that post and I would have been even more nasty if I thought the mods would leave it.

Not only do you need to learn some manners, you need to learn to read.

Enjoy your search for a helmet you won't be afraid to wear.

I wear a Nolan full face helmet when I ride, pretty much year round. Great helmet, totally satisfied with it and I recommend them highly.

When I went looking for a FF helmet, my criteria were 1.) it had to match the color of my bike (black), 2.) it had to be between $175 to $250 (the Nolan came in at $200) 3.) it had to be a well known brand and 4.) it had to have a clean, functional design. Getting one that looked Harley-like never occurred to me, so Nolan may or may not be what you are looking for.

OUCH!

I'll try to be productive.
Buy the best-rated black or flat black FF helmet you can afford, with a tinted visor. You'll protect your noggin, continue to look cool, and maintain your "Harley Spirit."

Peace
