@steves28373 years ago I grew up riding without a helmet. When california passed the helmet law, i bought a novelty helmet. This worked fine for many years. When i turned 50 what i want to share is that dot helmet had a metal ring sewn into the strap at the y on the right side. That metal ring crushed my right carotid artery. This caused the blood clot and stroke. If i had stayed with the novelty helmet i would still have full function of my left side. For now i ride with a carbon fiber polo style helmet or my schuberth modular if its cold. ...Expand 2

@lunathewolf33463 years ago I usually wear a half helmet but recently bought a full face(shoei)i thought it was ok until i needed to spit while riding. Wish i would' ve gotten a modular instead. 2

Having said that, really looking at the type of testing that goes on with the various dot, snell, etc fim takes into consideration the type and number of impacts to the helmet in testing modeled after the type of crashes that professional superbike racers have and the softer the helment while tumbling the less injury to the cranium is sustained by energy absorption. ...Expand 2

@MrMdandnor3 years ago I have a modular hemmet. Often open. Closed in rain and high speeds. 1

@paulhood73163 years ago Full transparecy? I ride with a lid when weather conditions deteriorate or when in a state that requires it. Full face modular go have it fitted ( if they will in d variant) 1

@bigbob163 years ago Had a new rider try on one of my helmets. He liked how fit and bought the same one and size online. After getting it he complained it didn' t fit id="hidden9"that mine was broken in and he will have to do the same with his. It' s been my experience that all new helmets have to go through a breaking in period to feel completely comfortable. ...Expand 3

@brentchugg13993 years ago I' ve ridden for many years and have had differing opinions of helmet use, usually riding without. Then, i took a job withcorporate -quot; the motor company" as we called it - and i got very exposed to tons of data and science about safety. I left the motor company a couple of years ago, but hasn' t changed my viewpoint. I don' t get on a bike without a helmet. Ever. Same as the " loud pipes save lives" argument that people make - the data just isn' t there to support that. Data shows it' s about visibility. ...Expand 1

@GeemailMailboxx3 years ago A modular helmet can add to the riding enjoyment, because when some idiot cager is on your tail, you can launch a huge gooey snot rocket at their windshield and casually throttle away. 3
@

@theosid50993 years ago Sure is more enjoyable without a helmet but falling off while riding or getting hit without a helmet no thanks. Always a helmet especially if someone is waiting back home. 2

@jamesmeredith27133 years ago Harley doesnt make helmets, we have 3, hjc, ls2 and i cant remember who made the 3rd one, they are all different, 1
