I have many helmets! I am currently using the Bell DLX Qualifier with the "Devil May Care" graphic. I've always been into warbirds and it kinda goes with the new paint on the CalStone. It has a nice "Transitions" visor that I really like. Also wearing the Vanson Chopper jacket that a buddy of mine got too fat for before he could break it in. Score!
Just bought one of these after the dog ate my shark, it's amazingly quiet
My favorite is the Nolan N30 but this one I use a lot. A 1950s official HD police helmet. I bought it 20 some years ago for $2 at a yard sale. Great in hot weather. You adjust for head size by the little string inside.JB
Can you get away with that in helmet required states?
I was a big Shoei and Arai fan until the Dexter Ford/Brian Catterson/Motorcyclist magazine Snell approval fiasco. I started trying out value brands as a result and was surprised how companies like HJC have closed the gap on the prestige helmet brands. Presently, I�m using an HJC IS-Max II with a snap-in Sena 10uPAD Bluetooth unit. It incorporates a Pinlock-ready shield, a tinted drop-down visor, fair ventilation, a removable liner, and good noise suppression. If it fits your head shape, this helmet is an extraordinarily good value at less than $200. Plus, the IS MAX II is one of just a few helmets that the Sena 10uPAD will fit. I like this setup...
I have ridden in 49 states and 9 Canadian provinces with that helmet and it was never questioned. Of course, I am sure I could be busted for it.JB
You might "could be" but you won't. Have you (or anyone here) ever been busted for a non-conforming helmet? I ride with a lot of folks, and I've never even HEARD of anyone I know being ticketed when they have a helmet on their head that looks like a helmet, like your old one does.Sure, you can read every once in a while about someone daring the cops with a Tupperware bowl and calling it a helmet, but if it's actually a helmet, no cop is ever going to go poking around for DOT stickers or Snell certs ....Although I must say there IS quite a "perceived risk" gap between your little helmet and someone who changes their $750 Schubert every 5 years because there might be some UV degradation of the shell or deterioration of the interior foam ... !!Lannis
A friend of my "now retired" boss was pulled over for wearing a non approved helmet. The state trooper told him that the fine for non approved was higher than for not wearing a helmet at all, but of course you are more likely to get pulled over with no helmet.Of course in a helmet optional state you won't get pulled over for a non approved helmet.
Just bought this one today on a smokin' closeout deal. Can't stand the graphics but beggers can't be choosers when you have a tiny noggin like mine. If it doesn't fit right, my 7 year old daughter can have it, or I can sell it for twice what I paid and someone will still get a good deal.
I wasn't there, but if I had to wager another precious pension check, I'd put it on the "non-approved" helmet in this case being a tiny, obviously-thumbing-nose-at-the-law beanie, and not a British Davida missing the USDOT sticker ... !Lannis
My wife has a bad time with helmets. Her head's smaller than an XS - currently she has a 6-year-old Fulmer modular helmet, which she likes, but it's barely small enough. I just put a metal click-latch on it to replace the "D-rings" which are a pain, and we both mounted Sena comm systems to our helmets.We didn't want to get new helmets just prior to a month-long trip and trying to break them in away from home, but when we get back, we'll probably look for one for her that will really fit like she wants ...Lannis
It's hard to find an XXS helmet in stock, let alone from a quality brand like Shoei at such a LOW price. It's an older model but worth a look-see, I think.https://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/women/womens+helmets/shoei_rf-1100+helmet+-+corazon+-+size+xxs?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlu7G0bvz3AIVQtbACh19IQZ6EAQYASABEgKSZPD_BwE
My wife wears XS helmets an always finds great deals on end of season sales. She always gets these $600+ top of the line helmets with a huge discount. she has had 2 Doohan reps & a Haga rep Arai and now has a really nice Shoie and Bell. Wait until late fall and search out the bigger online retailers. they will be selling stuff for 1/2 retail in some cases.Me, I have a XXL head and can have a hard time getting deals.
