I'll try to remember to do that tomorrow (which is actually later today).  For now, I need to get some sleep.  I know, you are just waking up.

I know, I know that half helmets are cooler, but do you have half a head? :oops:

It's dot legal and I love it.

Last year on the ride down to FL, it is the first helmet I did not take off the minute I crossed into FL.

So I guess a half helmet is much better than no helmet :2vrolijk_21:

Your right. I do respect the individuals choice and didn't mean to imply otherwise.  Glad you came to Florida Dave.  We need your money. :orange:

Lived in Jacksonville FL for 7 years when I was in the Navy. 

I usually make it down to FL twice a year, once for the Panama City Beach bike ralley and then a trip to the Keys or such.

I personally hate helmets.  Before I got the very light Carbon Fiber Dot legal one I would wear novelty helmets were the law required a lid and no helmet where it did not.  I know a helmet is safer and could save me.  So at least now I wear a dot approved lid and even wear it where the law does not require it.

I have the Extended half helmet from http://carbonfiberhelmets.com/dothelmets.ht

It's a great helmet doesnt move at all on my head.  They provide inserts to help with final adjustment.  And you don't look like Kazoo like you would in most DOT half helmets.

The only issue I have (and I'm sure this may be the case with all half helmets) is that the wind noise from the straps is deafening.  When I'm going to be at highway speeds for any period of time I wear ear plugs. 

Good luck!
