A 3/4 helmet saved my life when I hit a car that cut in front of me many years ago. The gutter rail on the car's roof smashed in the side of the helmet, and I got a concussion, a broken nose and some broken teeth. The car and my bike were both totaled but I lived to ride again.

That is a nice looking helmet. I am always looking for a good looking helmet, but all the ones I have seen the graphics are for kids. I just sport a solid silver one for now.

Bingo! I know it's made overseas, but I can't afford real stuff anymore.

No, I hear you, bro. We all know there's always those morons out there, though.

I guess it's just a matter of shopping. There's gotta be something out there you'll like. I can't believe what they make for helmet graphics & styles nowadays!

Nice helmet. The striping does the trick! It will definately protect you better than the one I purchased, but I personally just cannot get comfortable in a helmet that covers my entire face or ears. I think it has something to do with a touch of claustrophobia so I just purchased the DOT Vega XTS Naked. It is a real comfortable well made helmet for us claustrophobes! I really like that striping and finish. Nice.

Just curious why you don't like being called brother? Obviously we are not real brothers on this site.Brother indicates we share similar experiences and risks on the road. Are you one of those guys who gets all pissed if the waitress calls you Honey?
