*I've actually seen a few riders wearing the ole German helmet "lid" on our latest rides.
**I believe they're sold as novelty only...

I'm all for small and efficient, but 50cc isn't enough for anyone's street-legal bike.

Never have figured out the "German Helmet" thing.   Although it was the Wehrmacht Stahlhelm during the time the Nazi Party controlled Germany, it wasn't specifically a Nazi thing like a swastika or lightning marks.   Do people think they're throwing off some skinhead/Aryan vibe when they wear a Wehrmacht-style WWII helmet?   I don't see anyone wearing GI or Tommy helmets on bikes.
 
That's not a very good message.   Hate to see it associated with our sport and hobby, which has nothing to do with all that ....
