Voxx novelty half with a self made computer printed DOT sticker to appease the Nanny State *****. I found that the wife's clear nail polish keeps the sticker looking good.

Never thought about making my own DOT sticker. Good idea.

cheap *** novelty for me. Wouldn't wear one at all if MD state law gave me a choice.

I cover the old noggin everytime;

1/2 AGV for short stints 20~30 miles
3/4 Suomy with shield for 300~400 milers
FF Shoei for anything over
FF AGV anytime I get on one of my Ducs

Don't leave home without one!

I wear a half helmet when riding solo and a 3/4 when riding with wife (so we can use headsets)

No mandatory law here. Always start out with either a 1/2 or full depending on weather. But sometimes out on those long lonesome highways, or mountain twisities, I shed the lid for a little freedom. Probably shouldn't, but it's very inspirational and sometimes downright spiritual being so free and close to God. Think about it....

I am all for helmet laws. Safer noggins = Less insurance cost.
Of course, I am aware some don't believe they are safer, but...I think that's the minority.

I wear a half nearly all the time, but I am interested in a comfortable 3/4 that does not have its shell resonate a deep base sound in the wind. I have a new Shoei RJ Platinum R 3/4 and its not for me. Just doesn't fit my big round head right.
