Well I never forgot the helmet, but I've been through a few gas caps.

Doesn't matter if I have a helmet on or not I look stupid, so I just wear a Vega 1/2 helmet with no complaints.

Revzilla will reship one time for free if you get the wrong size.

Daytona makes the carbon fiber ACC non-DOT helmets now. They look pretty good, with an improved liner, from what I've seen.

At Louisville Harley I just saw a DOT helmet that is almost as thin as the non-DOT ones. Next time I go there I'm going to check the brand and look them up, for when I ride to helmet states.

At least my head wasn’t in it!

It was a cheap non DOT ½ helmet I’ve been wearing for about two years and it don’t look so good now.

that was no accident... that's your classic brain fart
