Default Bought a new helmet and my wife laughed at me.

Was out riding in the extreme temps and my full face helmet was just too much. I was about 2 1/2 hours away from home and needed something cooler to ride in.

Was at a HD Dealership hand they had some helmets on clearance. The only one in my size was in Pearl White ( almost has a pail blue hue to it)

Got it for $40.
Do you guys really think its that bad? It is one of those mushroom head ones though.

I love mine! I have the Scorpion EXO-100 Series Solid Silver. It is comfy, DOT approved. I have heard the Mushroom head name calling etc, do not care. Beats no helmet. I am proud to be a mushroom head! Or Gazoo!

I only use my full face in the winter but have a bunch of other helmets. Although the helmet is not my style you will appreciate the white. Most of mine are black and really attract heat. I have a chrome dome and it is my coolest helmet as it reflects as opposed attracts heat.

Fits well, is pretty light weight, and is cooler (temp wise) then my full face.

I say...if the shoe (helmet) fits - wear it. Looks like a decent helmet & probably much cooler than FF in summer riding season.
