It does in fact seem like they got the idea from the Shark. But it's definitely a few years old.
It was probably replaced by the Pilot helmet they had out last year. Which I think now is also gone, lol. Not sure tho.

If you're not wearing a helmet it can be hard for some to distinguish the different lifestyle choices one has made.

If you look to the rear of the front tire, you will see a helmet attached to the engine guard. The Doo Rag is to help keep the helmet liner clean. A Doo Rag can be tossed in the washer as many times as one needs, and not so much a helmet liner. While it will still need to be cleaned, it is only on occasion, like maybe once or twice a year. Me, I use a Doo Rag for both keeping the helmet liner clean, but also to help keep my hair in place. The benefit to that is I don't have to show off my bad case of helmet hair. The helmet will press your hair down (if you have any) with the exception of the sides, hence the expression "helmet hair." And no, I won't take off the doo rag unless I'm done riding for the day.

So I'm thinking you would rather ride with a stinky helmet than a clean one. Yep, smell ya later! And later and later! That said I'm thinking you probably don't take a bath either since being clean does not fit your lifestyle.

For the topic of this thread:
I have 5 helmets, one of which is a convertible full face. I wear a helmet regardless of the laws of the states I ride through or in. All are real DOT certified helmets, not those ultra thin small dot helmets that couldn't hold up to being dropped let alone a crash. The one thing I don't agree on is the shelf life of the helmet. Who decides this? All of my helmets are better than 10 years old, and all in good to excellent condition as in never have been dropped or in a crash. So no cracks anywhere. I'll be damned if I'm just going to toss them just because someone thinks i should. "Oh no, it's past it's expiration date. it needs to be replaced!" type of BS. If your not going to buy me a new one, shut your pie hole.

I don't make fun of your life revolving around humming birds so you can't make fun of my smelly head.

Okay, that's funny, no matter how you look at it! LMAO!

It's spelled aces. Normally not a big deal, but an "editor" should probably notice that.

I was a medic in the USAF and while working in the hospital, a young Airman was brought in after a motorcycle accident. He ended up having the brain capacity of a toddler and would need assistance for the rest of his life.

He was wearing a helmet.

Illinois does something right. At least we have a choice. Must have something to do with which Governor is in jail.
I choose to wear a helmet. JMHO
