Is that the one with the spike on top? Useful for pedestrians that get in your way.

I'm not sure about the 'pricey' aspect, but Schuberth make excellent helmets. I currently have their C3 flip-up and have used the previous versions as well. If they are good enough for Michael Schumacher.....

LOL! I think he's looking for the old german combat type helmet. He may want to look like a **** or some other type of rebel.

Don't think you'll find a DOT German Helmet without it looking like Dark Helmet from Spaceballs.

I have a German style "DOT" helmet that I purchased from E-Bay. I placed "DOT" in quotes due to it states it is DOT but not quite sure if it is. Here is a link to a helmet that is similar to mine: http://www.ebay.com/itm/German-Matte...1cb99c&vxp=mtr
