Nope, but you should check out the Bell Custom500 series in that same price range. I have a couple of them and they're great.

From the site: "These helmets are for novelty purposes and are not to be used on any motorized or non-motorized vehicle."

$150 for no protection is lame. I have a Daytona 3/4 shell DOT approved helmet in matte black and it's not much bulkier than those. At half the price too!

Why bother with a novelty helmet? Get a Bell, they are great and DOT.

$150 for a novelty helmet thats fugly as hell? No thanks, get a DOT approved helmet, many of them out there with slim profiles, better looking, etc. Cheaper too probably...

IOW, there are cheaper, finer looking, and DOT approved 3/4 helmets around.
Look at Bell and Rockhard, just to name a couple of them.

While i agree that Bell will offer a ton of protection they are HUGE compared to some other DOT approved helmets like Licks NovDot and Daytona Cruisers.

I just got a Biltwell Bonanza 3/4. Vintage styling, super comfortable and DOT. Tried the Bell but was really uncomfortable. http://www.biltwellinc.com/index.php...duct_list&c=32
