I posted this same info in a later post so don't get mad at me. I hadn't read this far in the thread when I responded to the OP. Sorry, I wasn't trying to plagiarize your content.

Helmet wasn't damaged in the accident. Just a brain bleed, but yeah, it may have bad karma. Gonna look at the Schuberth.

Default Schuberth

[QUOTE=Huggerbugger;19515848]Helmet, Some say they to expensive, but you get what you pay for.
Personally I like Like Riding without a helmet, But the Cancer Doc told me to stay out of the sun.
I had cancer o my liver and had a Liver transplant to get rid of the cancer.
The Schuberth modular helmet opens up, and has a pull down and push up sun visor that keeps the sun off my face.
Very Quiet, 82 dB(A) at 60 mph, Very lite Weight:
3.53 lbs, ratchet chin strap no dam D ring, The shield does not fog up.
I bought mine on Ebay, new for a lot less than dealers

I had a tumor removed from my back. My Cancer Doc told me to wear sunscreen, at least SPF 50, on my arms.
