I have a Scorpoin half as well and I like it. It is a good half helmet...bigger than a skid lid, but not as big as my 3/4 or full face.

The reason I use a novelty lid is because it's the closest thing to wearing nothing at all and still being legal (some places) -- where I cannot get away with the novelty lid I'll wear my DOT 1/2 shell. Most of the time I'd prefer no lid at all - but sometimes I'd even throw on a full face if I had one -- all depends on the circumstances.

Oh by the way, my "$25 dollar helmet" actually cost me about 45 loonies (extra shipping I guess).

I wear a helmet because the "Law" says I have to! If it were "MY" choice I'd wear the free wind blowing through my hair. Sure, if I bite it or get plowed into, then it would be "MY" melon plastered on the asphalt, but it would be by "MY" choice, not some asshat legislator sitting behind his desk telling me what "he" thinks is best for me.
If you are really worried what some "crowd" thinks of you, or what you wear, then all I have to say to folks like that is:
Poor is the man who's pleasures depend on the permission of others!

In some states the "Law" as you call it, gives you "permission" to not wear a helmet. So I guess you speak of yourself when you say: Poor is the man who's pleasures depend on the permission of others!

call it what you want, I recon everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I see California gives you permission to wear yours also. I sure am glad that YOUR STATE is the only one that gives YOU PERMISSION to further restrict your emissions too
