Default 3/4 helment let's see them

I am sick and tired of the wind noise with my 1/2 helment, I am looking for a vintage looking 3/4 slick helment let's see what you have and how do you like it.

Not a great picture I know, but I swear by the Lick's NovDot. Lowest profile DOT I've put on, and I've put on a bunch.



Here's another. As you can see, my riding buddies specialize in pictures of me looking at my seat, and blurry pictures. Also, for the record, I cleaned my whitewalls right after this trip.

I was going to say Bell. They have a line of vintage style open face helmets as shown above from Iceman.

I'm done with open face and full face helmets. I really like half helmets now. Cooler in the summer and better hearing.

If you don't want to look like this guy, get a Lick's NOVDOT or a Biltwell orig.
