Cops hassle me over helmet

All the logic won out and I went back to a full face, plus I got tired of picked bugs and gravel chunks out of my cheeks after night riding...

Here's the new lid, another HCI (cause I'm a poor ass):

Congrats!! Its always cool to see common sense rule! Lid looks good too. Cool is fleeting, dead is forever.
 
I dumped my bike on a backroad wearing my brothers helmet with the flip front face. Since we were trying out the bike I had the face up. Landed on my chin. Thankfully I wasn't going fast but Lesson Learned.

I'm trading in my half-shell for something a little more full-bodied.

Pudding bowls or beanies are better than going without a helmet, but just barely.

Well I have to disagree with you on this. My Ex Husband was wearing a "pudding bowl" or what we call "Tupperware" which had absolutely no foam of any kind, a non-DOT approved shell only. A car came into his lane on SR14 in WA., and being a highly experienced Ex Desert Racer, I guess he felt it was better to take a HD Fatboy off the road into the rocky desert than meet said car head on.

I read the police report in which it was said that after his crash he was still awake and partly lucid for about a minute, trying to get his bike back up and insisting he was ok. Shortly after that he passed out, and was subsequently Life-Flighted to Harborview Trauma Center in Seattle. We all sat around the ICU and watched as his brain function totally disapeared. The Neurosurgeons showed us the scans and explained how his SECONDARY brain injury was his front lobes split apart, and the primary injury, the one that killed him, was a bruised brain stem totally exacerbated and made terminal by the brain swelling.

He was wearing really good leathers, and he didn't have a scratch on him.
