HD Low profile half helmet.

Trying to avoid the dreaded mushroom head, probably unsuccessfully.

Always wear an AGV full face when riding. Plan on replacing it with a more expensive and better protecting Shoei or Arai in the future.

Also from New hampshire, no helmet laws for adults here,I have a harley DOT half helmet and a shoei RF-1000 I never ride without a helmet,or leathers. Went down hard once years ago,tore the front of a bell full face right off,and wore my leathers down to tissue paper thick,walked away from that crash after i stopped blacking out,and could stand back on my feet,lol
Yes,was young, bullet proof and loved the speed,much wiser now in my 40's

www.carbonfiberhelmets.com Dot approved half helmuts that are so light and half the size. No mushroomhead look. Wife and I both have them and love them. Also both have full face for longer and colder rides. Michael

HJC full face started wearing it this winter when I got my bike and have been wearing it all the time, I also have a 3/4 Bell wore it once a couple of weeks ago between the bugs and the high amount of pollen in the air I won't be wearing it much until it warms up more here in NY.

Default RE: helmets

my first bike will be in , in a few days i am kicking around what kinda helmets to wear so i have a of each for diffrent riding conditions 1/2 3/4 and full face helmets are cheaper the a cat scan if u are that lucky ..its too easy to check out of life on a bike. its all personal prefrence. i never laughed at any 1 with a helmet and never will . i feel if u are riding u are part of the family no matter what u are wearing . just be safe 90% of the time wreck will no be your fault its the others around you.
