I don’t wear a helmet usually unless it’s a requirement for a sanctioned ride or in a riding park or something like that. I found a DOT approved half helmet for a good price at Dennis Kirk. It’s comfortable enough. If you order one, they seem to run small so order a size larger than you normally would. It was around $35

I look at helmets in 2 different ways. First is how much does it cost to have good protection on something you can’t live without. No one thinks about what if. Well I can’t help but think that every time I ride. I have a titanium plate in my head and I have to wear a helmet or take the chance of dying if I crash. Spend the money on a good helmet it’s worth it or you could end up a burden on your family. Please take my advice it’s never good waiting for an ambulance to pick up your buddy. I have been there it’s no fun. Second thing is if you don’t want to spend the money you are probably one of those guys who buys used condoms you cheap bastard. Don’t be cheap when it comes to safety

I keep a Bell bicycle helmet in my P5 when I know I will be doing challenge hills. Basically its to protect my head if it hits the roll bar on the way back down should things go wrong. Other than that I go so slow it would not serve much use. It's like seatblets in a mud hole, they may not be the best plan. Now, if you have street tires and like to bounce off the rev limiter in 5th...wear a lid!

DOT is just a sticker anymore, that standard is about useless anymore.

Good and cheap helmets dont go hand in hand. In an offroad situation I would want a full helmet with chin bar.

“Cheap bastard” ???? Thanks for your meaningful contribution to this thread! I own no less than 6 good quality helmets. I just purchased two this year. I thought the folks here might be interested in a nice DOT APPROVED lid for a good price. Take your condom comments and your titanium plate and kindly shove off. Cheers!

Got several good deals here by member’s heads up on discounts, keep it up all. Deer hit, over the handlebars landing. Always replace a helment after a hit.

My post was not directed at you. It was directed at people who have that type of thinking about helmets. I apologize if you took offense to it that’s was not my intention to offend you or anyone else. My intention was to let people know that wearing a helmet is the best insurance policy one could have. I know there are differences in helmets and cheap is not always the best choice.
