With all the talk of helmets, i feel it's time to prepare myself. i rented a harley in hawaii a few days ago and i had to wear a helmet.With the high winds in hawaii and my small head, i was torn between my own comfort and the requirements. In order to keepthehelmet snug,the straphad to be extra tight, which ended up hurting my neck,so bad that it is still sore to the touch 9 days later. have a pea head too? please help...

A helmet that is fit properly should not move that much

Well, you got to go to hawaii and rent a harley,,, money well spent, and I would'nt be complaining, if I had something to remind me of the awsome ride in hawaii for 9 days and later, wow.. its like the gift,,, that keeps on giving.... For a Pea head without a helmet,, could become Pea soup! Be safe,,, see your dealer, and they are the experts to size you up// Safety first.... my choice, I where a helmet..... Because some don't where helmets, doesnt make u a better biker. And u can be a stupid @ss with a helmet, and that doesnt make any difference either. You can Pee on or Pee Off.
