Those things just say "Vespa" to me. I've seen a few around and the guys are always wearing boat shoes or sandals with 'em!

MAN, you just need to make your own......My favorite helmut is jack N's harvard football helmet in Easy Rider
ORIGINAL: 6o66er

I have an HD one that I hate...size L....if anyone wants it. Sell it real cheap.

I wore it once and couldn't ****ing stand it.

I have a Bell Drifter that I'm equally un-impressed with as well. But at least it doesn't act like a parasail.

I've been seriously considering buying a Bell Drifter. I do wear a helmet every so often, and my half touring helmet (left over from my Goldwing) doesn't look quite right on a Sporty [8D]

I really like my skid lid brand halfee. $40 and I got it in chrome. Looks a lot leaner on my head because you can't really get your eyes on where the edges are. Motorcycle-Superstore ships 'em ASAP too.

that polo helmet was what george clooney was wearing in his famous "you cut me off" rant
quite enough to turn me off to them
ORIGINAL: kawsakimx6

I went from a full face to the polo. It's not as comfortable and the bike is a lot louder now, but the visability is much, much better (which is why I bought it...$60- flat black). I can actually look over my shoulder and see more than my shoulder. Great for around town.

They're great helmets, I just don't like helmets
