I had the same happen to me once, but then again, I was using a hollowed out watermelon as a helmet at the time..

Well, I tried... Since I couldn't get anyone to post any pics of them wearing a Fulmer V2, I broke down and ordered one from a local cycle shop (in Green Bobber). I will definitely post pics of myself wearing it once I get it later this week for anyone that is curious to see what it looks like on (I am not camera shy like some people, LOL). I also just couldn't resist ordering the bubble face shield also to complete the astronaut look!! :-)

Side note:

So "Old School" that the helmet has a built in snap intended for securing your goggles!! (No BS!)

Funny thread. When I was a moped rider, I had a white 3/4 with the clear bubble shield. I still wear a 3/4, looking for a good 1/2 for summer. But that shield has saved my face more than a few times. I got a this one, HD emblem is a vent, too. Shield is adjustable (height-wise). No rattle, nice fit. Gazoo, where are you?? Nah, not too bad.

I have a Fulmer 1/2 helmet. It's the BEST helmet that I have ever owned! And I have owned several.

Deathproof,
Here is the helmet on me. Let's see what yours looks like when you get it. Be advised you do need to get a bigger size than you normally wear. second time wearing it, got alot of compliments on it.
