What type of helmet do you wear

i were a 1/2 if i have too as a rule i let one of my 4 daughters 17-23 wear it i like the freedom haha i love no helmit law thanks IOWA lol

I wear a beanie half shell non dot just got a ticket in fremont ca. for it $123 so I bought a dot half shell got it at a local leather shop for$25 I wear it when I go to fremont or niles. pita but its the law

I wear a full face helmet, I spent 12 years in motorsports mostly with the NHRA. I've seen what can happen, it's my noggin & I'll protect it the best I can.

I wear a 1/2 helmet, turtle shell, skid lid or how ever you want to describe it. Unless I ride to Myrtle Beach then the lid comes off most of the time.

I use to be in the 82nd years ago. I'm in Special Forces where I've been for the past 12 years.

NC just amended the Helmet law. Starting in Jan all riders need to wear a DOT helmet... Looks like I need to buy 3 new ones... My wife, daughter and I.

Not even sure if anyone is still reading on this one, but if it save one person it is worth it. I recently bought an ACC carbon fiber 1/2 helmet cuz it is the lightest one out there (and they look spiffy). Well, long story short, not real happy with it. It IS light (about a pound), but the "padding" sucks, the straps are a real muther to adjust, and NO VENTS. That is a must have in SE Georgia. Overall...NOT worth the 200 bucks. I still wear it cuz I hate wasting money, but in hindsight, I would have been better off with a skid lid or something.

We read everything around here... That sucks to spend that much and not be happy with it. It's a shame you couldn't have returned it.

I COULD have returned it, but the lil sheet o paper that came with it said something to the effect of...Returns must be in absolutlely new condition. No scratches, buffs, bug guts, etc...you get the idea. I have dealt with co. like that in the past and it is like pulling teeth gettin your money back. Besides...it isn't HORRIBLE, just not worth 200 bucks. Maybe 75

hookerwrench - I know EXACTLY what ya mean. Spent the $ for a H-D helmet that never quite wore as good as it looked on the shelf. :gah: Now I happily ride wearing a $20+ DOT helmet that I picked up at Street Vibes a few years back. It even matches my bike's color perfectly. Live, pay, and learn.

Depends on circumstances

In NC I usually wear a half shell in the summer. In the winter a 3/4 over my furr lined snoopy aviator cap. If I border jump to SC or someplace else with no lid law I usually just wear a smile....again in warm weather. Bald heads are no fun with temps in the 40's or lower at 70 mph......
Ride Free......

True that Greybear!!! True that...

Only Because State Law Doesn't Give Me The Option. Never Put A Helmet On Until I Came To Wash. Now It Just Wouldn't Feel Right Without One. Funny How That Changes.

when I was younger pre-helmet law in Calif I never wore one, even when we were in the dirt. then was forced to riding because I was having to much fun (or should I say my ex was having to much fun) and ended up with full custody of my daghter. Within that time the helmet law came into effect and I swore I never put one of those dam things on and that I would either move or never ride again. Now I have 4 of them. I love the full face in the winter when it's cold and or raining. The 3/4 when it gets a little warm (and I feel like a whimp)to keep the hot wind from beating me up to much. and either one of the 1/2 shells is what I wear most of the other time.
