helmets
Luckily in Indiana we have the choice of whether to wear it or not. How many of you wear them and what type to you wear. I was thinking of getting one of the german type does anyone have one and what do you think.

RE: helmets
Full face Arai Profile while on tour, sometimes in town. 3/4 HJC AC3 usually in town. The full face offers protection against the rain, etc. It gets a little hot sometimes, but I do not get a funky sunburn! Everybody should have the right to choose whether or not to wear a helmet. But I do believe in protecting the ol' "Hard Drive".....it's the only one I've got....and I've seen some heads that wish they'd have had some protection when the melon hit. I've seen some helmets after the accidents that occured, and some of those face shields were almost sanded through from the pavement. It'll make a believer out of a person in short order.

RE: helmets
I wear a shorty GERMAN. It's not DOT, just a novely, and I cut the padding out and formed the inside with duct tape to make it sit as low as possible on my head when riding. Basically the only good it would be in a wreck is to keep my brains from messing up the street.
