In my 40 years of riding, I've had all sorts of helmets. I just bought my first Shoei, and I love it. Fits well, very quiet. A little bit more money, but as usual, you get what you pay for.

I have a 3/4 Harley made by HJC. I like it. But I would buy it off the HJC site because it is cheaper for the same helmet.

My next 3/4 lid will probably be a Nolan N43

I'm wearing the Bell Custom 500. This helmet has exceeded my expectations. It's light and not huge on my head. Best helmet I've ever had...

+1 on HJC
I have the IS-33 ( I think is the model ) with the drop down inside sun visor.
I would recommend it if you wear glasses ..

Default HJC - Not For Me!

I have a 3/4 HJC, not sure of the model #, I don't particularly care for. It has front and rear vents that when opened rattle like crazy! My 1/2 helmet is quieter going down the highway doing 60. I'll wear it late fall thru early spring. As long as the vents stay closed.
Is this a common problem or am I just lucky? I'd be interested to know.
