Huladog, how do you like that helmet? New Enough has a couple of the color schemes (not too tacky) on sale for like $141. Am seriously considering one.
thx!

I don't have a picture of it on, and it's at home 'cause it is pouring rain here today so I didn't ride to work.
It looks "almost" like one of the novelty buckets. It's fiberglass instead of plastic and the lining is much thinner than the GMax I was using. Like I said, smallest I've seen, so far.

I have a full face HJC helmet, I might get a 3/4 with a full shield just for the heck of it.

I have a Craft half helmet and it's great. I had a Nolan 3/4 with a visor before but I much prefer the half and a pair of goggles.
