I like it, but the only opinion that counts is yours

What does living in a state with a no helmet law got to do with what a helmet looks like? I live in a no helmet state and I wear one as a lot of riders do.

I think the helmet looks great.

What I really want to see is any of these helmets on someone's noggin. Looking for my first 3/4 I think, tired of the wind noise on my half helmet.
Wife hated that too; bugged her ears. I took some jean patches, cut and ironed them to the triangle over the ears and she's fine now. Me, I use the windshield and like to hear the pipes gargling.

It's a cool looking old school lid, but it's super busy.
