new lid.

Er..... your new lid?
Struggling to find anything positive to say to be honest. The artwork seems well done maybe?
 
I look at that and all I see is your mangled face after its been dragged along the ground when you have a crash.

I dont know why anybody seriously considers those old fashion type helmets any more.

I totally agree, why wear something decorative when you could use something that actually provides protection?

For a 'different' open face helmet that would actually provide some level protection I think the Draxtar helmet is quite a funky bit of kit.

Yeah that is pretty funky if your a fighter pilot, i ride a hardtailed chop, so wouldnt look right, the helmet i showed is USA, DOT approved,but a lot of custom bike riders wear them in this country anyway.
 
No chin-guard is just asking for problems if you fall off.

Many, many years ago I managed to crash on my mum's moped *1 at a mere 30 mph - the scratches on the chin guard of my helmet were a couple of millimetres deep - if I'd been using her open face helmet I probably wouldn't have had a face left.

*1 Yeah, go on - laugh. It was my first night out on it havign passed my CBT a couple of days earlier and I managed to doze off, go into a hedge, then foolishly tried to correct rather than continuing into the hedge.

When my brother was younger, he fell off a push bike going at barely any speed at all and poked a hole through his chin. It doesn't take much.

Hey i wouldnt laugh, and yeah i can see the safety aspect, of a full face, having worn one in the past, i dunno, its a bit of a marmite subject to be honest, i know a few people who are dead against them and vice versa.
 
Well i like it. different strokes and all that. Hard tail chop types look daft in full face lids along with one piece leathers.

I dont enter the whole aww if you fall off....... saga, Their face/ skin their choice.

I would be a hypocrit if I was to say it was bad to go out without lid or clothing of some sort of protection. I think everyones done it
