No pix here, but if you think that half helmet looks big, you should see my 3/4. As for glasses, I wear some very large, red safety glasses that wrap around my face, which are great for riding because they give great coverage. People comment on those, not the helmet, but I don't care. They work, so screw 'em if they don't like 'em.

I work construction and wear a hard hat all day so when I put on a helmet no biggie. I think its a get used to it factor. I don't like a hard hat but, I do like making a living so it's a condition.
One piece of advice given to me a long time ago leave your fellings in the parking lot. If someone laughs at you then laugh with them all the while realizing ther are just jelous!
PS
Do what I do when I put on sandals which show off my never see the light of day feet
Don't look down.

Here I am in my Bell Drifter. You don't look as cool as I do but I wouldn't worry about it. Just kidding.

Who cares what anyone else thinks. If you like it, wear it.

You've got brass ones even asking the question.
Did you look at your picture before you posted it?
There is this guy at work, he bought a bike a few years ago. and a big ol saucer head, like yours. What I remember about him is the big **** eatin grin he always has when he is riding. I dont think he gives a crap what anyone thinks when he's riding.

The post is intended to be somewhat humorous.

Think about this........
If I REALLY card what others thought, do you think I would actually post my big-head picture here and ask for opinions?

My kids were constantly ripping me, so I agreed to see how others felt.

All in good fun.

The guys I work with call me "speed racer" in my helmet. I laugh with them and agree with them, but I still wear it.
