Default helmet

Not my intention to hijack this thread but skullcrush has been on my radar for 2 years. I like the 6 shooter style, is that the one you have?

I don't own one because its hard to spend $150 for a helmet you haven't tried on.

How is the helmet?

For a fashion accessory like a novelty helmet, suggest purchasing an XS DOT helmet and removing the protective foam from inside so it will fit. This way you can look both fashionable and chic and at least look like your head is protected. Alternatively you can make your own from paper mache, wood or plaster.

I live in South Carolina where we don't have to wear them, keep a skid lid in the tour pack for when I go into the neighboring states. Got pulled over for speeding on 28 in North Carolina last year and after I pulled over I immediately took it off and put it on the highway peg hoping he wouldn't look at it. First thing the LEO did was pick it up and after he looked at it inside and out asked me if I had a real helmet with me. After I told him no, he wrote me a $25 ticket....not bad until I saw the $135 court costs!

Hell, I got pulled over for Speeding and the cop tried to bust me for a novelty helmet. It was a DOT helmet. The part that really sucked was I didn't know I was speeding. LOL
