Its all about choice for me and you-- please I'm begging ya don't suggest or tell why I should wear a FF or GG or DD. I help take care of good friends wife who wrecked her foot on a bike few weeks ago. She was wearing Boots very good boots not sneakers and her foot was still mangled as well as her shin bone.
Perhaps if it was a law to wear Shin pads and chest protectors aw hell lets just say full body armor she would have a much better chance her foot would not have 6 pins in it and 4 surgeries.
Look sh*t happens you want wear yellow sneakers and a full face helmet knock yourself out but I want the choice...and yes Ive personally been down wrecked ( hit by 2 cagers) and messed up real good not once but twice like I said sh*t happens.
Oh and a big shout out to surgeons a Rhody hospital there the best!

Nice helmet! I believe whether you wear a helmet or not should be a personal choice, but here in California some type of helmet is required. I currently wear a Dot beanie and have a FF helmet, as well.

That is a pretty cool helmet. I've been wearing one since 1975 when I saw a cage turn in front of the guy on the Honda in front of me. Not pretty. When I think about not wearing one (Don't have to here in Florida) I still remember that accident as clear as if it was yesterday. Each his own.

Very nice helmet bro!! My wife and I went through the same thing!! I purchased Rockhards that look similiar to yours for each of us!! She really didn't like them cause we look a little silly but we have kids so the bikes gonna have to look cool enough for the both of us! In Rhode Island there's no helmet law but god forbid if we go down I hope we live so screw it... Good for you bro!!!

Very cool helmet. Last year July 31st i had a cager pull out in front of me. I had the green light was going 35mph thru the intersection when out she came. It happen so fast i have two very stong memories, one saying ol sh*t when she pulled out. The second was seeing the asphalt up close as my helment slammed to the ground as i rolled up the road. The helment saved my forehead from hitting the asphalt. I got my arms rashed really bad but by the grace of god nothing more. My hands and arms are scared.
I have no issue with guys wearing helments or not to each their own. The one thing that does bother me are the guys at work making fun of the guys who do, i just don't get that. My choice is to wear one and im ok with that.
Ride safe and again very cool lid.

The poeple at the scene kept me down would not let me up. The tought crossed my mind to pull her from the car and choke slam her. The cop who showed at the scene was a biker. He was just as pissed i think. When he came to the hospital to talk with me he told me the lady could not speak english had no drivers license, but had insurance and the policy was paid up he called to verify it himself. He told me to hang it in and get back on another bike not to let one dumb *** make me stop.

Nice lid. I have been thinking about getting a 3/4 more and more lately. That one looks cool.
