Always a good idea to wear the helmet.

Not thinking, I once asked the question..."How much should I spend on a helmet" ?......The answer was.."How much is your head worth"...I bought the best they had...end of discussion.

Here is a website for Pyrotect helmets (Bell's other label) made in the USA. extreme supply You can get a full face with helmet bag (SA2005) for $248. Free shipping and handling. M- motorcycle SA- Special application. Special application means flame retardant liner and designed to take repeated impacts (like off of a roll cage!) Most of us could get by with a M but I am willing to spend a little on my brain bucket!

I bought a brand new helmet about 3 years ago just for racing, but really haven't needed it since I'm stuck in the 14's.

Marlin,

Come on man!!! You're a dad and make your living with your head!

I've worn a helmet skiing and snowboarding for 12 years now. Anything that is a speed sport deserves wearing a head bucket.

Come to think of it, I should have been wearing one for drinking duty during my 20s.

Plus, you don't have to look like a cue ball either.

My wife didn't know what to get me for Christmas one year so she got me a Troy Lee custom mountain biking helmet:





She thought I'd like something that reminded me of British Columbia, hence the Haida Indian mask design (we also have some Westcoast Indian art). It's tough to see in the pic, but red is metalflake and the black is really deep.

It's nice to have an understanding wife...She Get's It!
