I was ordering a fender at Jailhouse Choppers and noticed they had a Daytona helmet display. I tried on a Daytona 3/4 Cruiser and ordered it immediately! Comfortable and light weight. I didn't think it would happen, but I may send my Fulmer V2 Bobber into an early retirement.
Thanks!

Sgt Jim thanks for your service but having been in the service you should know Panzer is a German tank so saying panzer tank is like saying tank tank 
The German word "Panzer" means "armor"...and it can refer to ANY type of armor, even something like body armor, or glass armor, whatever. It is not specific to what we call tanks. It didn't even start out as a word for a tank or military vehicle.
In typical German fashion, they borrowed that work and combined it with "kampfwagen", to be combined into the word "panzerkampfwagen"...to mean "armored combat vehicle". And the Germans actually had at least several other words that were commonly used to refer to what we call "tanks"...such as a very long word starting with "schutzengrab...."..and I'm forgetting a whole bunch of letters in the middle..but it ended in "...automobile".
During WWII Hitler had several "panzer" models made, and they were commonly referred to as "Panzers"...such as the Panzer 1, Panzer 2, Panzer 4, etc. But they also had some model tanks which did not use the word "panzer" in their name, such as the Tiger, or Panther.
So saying "panzer tank" does not literally translate into English to mean "tank tank"...as panzer was really used more to designate some specific models.

Speaking of low profile helmets, I received an email from Harley the other day with a pic of a few riders with what appeared to be turtle shells on their heads. I had a Flintstones flashback!

Rockhard
Been following the comments on the Rockhard helmet. Been riding with a full face but want to try a 3/4 and I think I want to go with the Rockhard. How are they in the heat? I live in Texas. Country is the liner around the forehead leather? Does it wick perspiration like a coolmax liner would? Don't want to start a helmet collection so I want to get it right. LOL
Other option would be a 1/2 helmet but don't like what I'm reading with them lifting in the wind. Is that just an issue with fit or brand or is it the way it is with a 1/2? Need a little guidance here. Saw some 1/2 Fulmers at my indy and tried a couple on but couldn't decide if I wanted to chunk $60 at an experiment!
TIA!!
