its hard to order a helmet off the net they all fit different .. i have a HD helmet and it fits nice but has the mushroom head look to it .. i dont wear it as much as i should but no one ever says anything about anyones helmet and how they look in them, it just something thats not talked about . if u feel comfy in it who cares what it looks like. most people are lookin at your bike anyway .. i have found alot of nice helmets and bike shows and ralleys this will give u a chance to try on many different kinds and know your size in that make of helmet .
i just looked at that carbon fiber website I think thay are on the right track. They are a much thinner helmet I still don't like the 4 point sttachment even though I know thats the law not they're choice. If they came out with a novelty styled helmet likea german or something I just might buy one for those times when I have to wear one.

That's a great point. When the hell was the last time one of your riding buddies asked you what kind of jeans you were wearing....or that your *** looks a little fat in those pants. Unless you ride with the "fudgie fun bike club", that's absolutely right...who the hell cares what helmet you're wearing
To some degree I think your right but you can't tell me you've never looked at another rider and said to yourself man that guy looks retarded. I mean some helmets just don't fit some people no matter what you do.

I don't know if I've ever used this web cliche, but here it goes. LOL. I totally agree steel. I can look at myself in the mirror when trying on helmets and I want to kick my own *** for looking like such an idiot. There's no reason why the top of the helmet should be 4 inches above the top of my head. Another thing is that, yes, riding my bike and enjoying it is MOSTLY about how I feel, BUT part of riding to me is looking good to potential chicks who look my way. By no means does this thought control what or where I ride, but I want people to look at me and my bike and think the combo looks cool instead of like Warren from Something about Mary. Look at the helmets soldiers or SWAT teams wear, they don't rise or mushroom as bad or any worse than mocycle helmets do and they have freakin bullets flying at their heads.

ORIGINAL: but Ill try 2 try

The only time I looked at a guy's helmet and thought he looked retarded is when I see a guy on the cover of some of these magazines...like Motorcycle Cruiser or American Rider...yeah, I know...they're trying to make a point..but I'm sorry...a guy riding a harley with a big dopey full face helmet that's orange or pink is just gay. I mean..hey..you wanna wear a full face, fine...but pink and orange...give me a break. They claim it's because it helps them stand out. Yeah...if they're driving by the Blue Oyster Bar [:'(]
Regarding the soldier's helmets...personally, I think they're closer to 3/4 helmets than half helmets. But what the hell...if you prefer those, go to an army navy store instead of a hd dealer and get one of them. At the same time, you could always go the bicycle route and get one of those things...talk about mushroom head. Still...that'll probably protect your head more than a 20 dollar novelty helmet.
