Not that I want to see people crashing.   Portero72 Posted on Tuesday, January 08, 2013 - 09:49 pm:        The bandana/neoprene mask brigade(especially the ones sporting skull patterns or dragon teeth, etc.) always give me a chuckle and make me think, 'you know what keeps you warm, prevents road debris from smacking your face, and has the added benefit of protecting your head in a crash? A full face helmet.' NOT intended to offend anyone here, nor start a helmet/no helmet debate. Just a random thought.   Bosgarage57 Posted on Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - 11:15 am:        thats actually a really cool design, and depending on price I would prob pick one up. And Portero I agree with you, but when Im on my crusier I'll sometimes take my peanut or 3/4 helmet. on a side note, a guy that rides a big "hog" I seen this summer, no shirt, pants, work boots, and a diamond plate steel mask over his month/nose area. I thought Oh good Lord if you crash that is going straight into your skull.   Portero72 Posted on Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - 11:19 am:        Bos- Agreed. That lid looks cool as all get out. And your 'hog' story gives me the willies. Yikes.   Teeps Posted on Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - 01:29 pm:        Not for me; but any helmet is better than none.   Thumpthump Posted on Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - 02:27 pm:        Reminds me of The Road Warrior movie. If you are going to wear that, why not just wear a full face helmet?   Natexlh1000 Posted on Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - 05:24 pm:        Yes! the Lord Humungous!   Electraglider_1997 Posted on Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - 06:39 pm:        http://madmax.wikia.com/wiki/Lord_Humungus   Thejosh Posted on Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - 08:36 pm:        I have a modular helmet, pretty much does the same thing as this helmet, only faster and more convenient.   Motorbike Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2013 - 12:34 pm:        I agree with Thumpthump. Also, since we are all entitled to our own opinions, I think that is the ugliest helmet I've ever seen. Sorry, I just can't help myself......   Skifastbadly Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2013 - 12:43 pm:        It could be uglier. They could put devil's horns on it or something....   Motorbike Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2013 - 12:51 pm:        That might actually make it look better....   Electraglider_1997 Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2013 - 04:49 pm:        What I like about it is that seems to have a solid portion that surrounds and protects the ears which 1/2 helmets don't normally have. I would probably not wear the front piece regularly but keep it available for use in the tourpak.   Electraglider_1997 Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2013 - 04:51 pm:        Kind of like a baseball helmet or something designed by the military. If one fits my noggin then I'm way overdue for a new lid.   Hoover_uly Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2013 - 11:39 pm:        We've probably all met a cruiser guy or 2 that could use a good muzzle...
