what helmet do you have???

I have a flip up, had one since BMW introduced them, which now is quite a few years ago. Got so used to them, couldn't use anything else, well wouldn't want to. I am naughty, never lock mine, as I think they aren't rated in anything but the locked position. I was in London despatching when the police were riding with theirs up, and pulling us for doing the same. There was a truce on it for a while, then they went back nicking people.

 

ive seen people smoke on peds with the flip up helmets

 

with no screen, they tend to burn down like a fuse.

 

been there done that got the burns lol^^ but i did it on an mx lid so never burnt down too quick

 

With regard to whats a good helmet & what isn't, check the SHARP ratings...
