Default Got my new helmet...

from ilmanzo31. It was jsut as described and I would purchase from him again if he had anything else I needed. It is jsut a jockey novelty helmet, but quite a nice one. The last one I had didn't have much padding at all, this one has more, but not too much. I now have to take it out for a test run. Here is a pic I took myself. No more mushroom head...

Out here in CA everyone wears a helmet due to the law. HDWG it is not DOT. I have decided that if I am stupid enough to wear a half helmet, screw the dot. I am going to paint DOT on it today...I still ahve a full face that I will probably wear if it gets too cold or I take a long trip, but I have become "cool" after spending too much time here...

These guys make excelent DOT aproved helmets, they look like the Novelty helmet in size, but they are truely DOT. there not cheap, but i feel it worth the extra money. I went through a few helmets before I ran across this one. Now, all my freinds and my father have all bought one, they are great. Very light weight, and for those who don't have a windsheild (I didn't) it doesn't catch the wind like a standard helmet. Check these out.DOT Helmet

I just took this for a test ride, and I was actually quite impressed. I took the bike up to about 70 and the helmet stayed on my head quite well. It did not catch the wind or pull uncomfortably on my neck either. I am satisfied. thanks ilmanzo...
