Speek'n of helmets I just ordered two Bell Drifters, has anybody tried one of these yet?

That is the helmet I wear. Bought the flat black with bullet shell rivets. Very comfy helmet, I like it a lot.

 

Let us know how you like it, I am looking for a new lid myself, have the HD half helment now and it is way to bulky.

 

I have the Drifter also. It is comfortable but not that much less bulky than the HD DOT. I have one of the ACC helmets on order should be here in 2 weeks. When I get it I will post a side by side pic of the two.

 

I have a Bell Mag-8 and I like it a great deal. I think they make good helmets.

 

I have a Drifter...so far so good...like the ear "warmers"...I were a skid lid normally but since I ride 365, it should keep my brainhousing group warm December-February.

I have a narrow mug so any DOT b-bucket will make me look like Kazoo.

 

Here is my .02 worth from the product review section.

I hope you have better luck than I did.

 

Almost any DOT 1/2 helmet you buy is going to have that 1" or so of styrofoam, giving it that mushroom look. I solved that problem by going with carbon fiber. It was expensive ($180) but it's the smallest, lightest DOT half you've ever seen. It looks almost like a beanie.

 

Well,

My personal opinion is they suck. We have two of them and the styrofoam is hard and they probably have absolutely the worst "aero" of any helmet I have ever worn (on the bike with no windshield) try to do any kind of longer trip (over 50 or so miles) and they will wear your neck completely out......so I ordered one of those carbon fiber jobs sometime back in the stone age and it's not here yet..........

Good luck,
