I wore a 1/2 non-DOT until my 'mishap' 2 days ago. :oops:   Now I will wear my 3/4 DOT w/face shield ALL the time!

Most sought after helmet during Hurricane Ike. Works also during hail storms.

Luckily, no scratches on the helmet, but it could have been worse.

There was not a poll option for a 3/8ths, 5/8ths, 7/16ths, or 9/16ths helmets.  :nixweiss:

The "half helmet"  option would have been reduced greatly had these other sizes been included.

But Those Are People Who Died Mike!!! ::) ;D ;)

By The Jim Carroll Band!

Teddy sniffing glue he was 12 years old

Fell from the roof on East Two-nine

Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug

On 26 reds and a bottle of wine

Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old

He looked like 65 when he died

He was a friend of mine



Refrain:

Those are people who died, died

Those are people who died, died

Those are people who died, died

Those are people who died, died

They were all my friends, and they died



G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten

So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan

Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head

Bobby OD'd on Drano on the night that he was wed

They were two more friends of mine

Two more friends that died / I miss 'em--they died



Repeat Refrain



Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room

Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs

Judy jumped in front of a subway train

Eddie got slit in the jugular vein

And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others,

And I salute you brother/ This song is for you my brother



Repeat Refrain



Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys' Club roof

Tony thought that his rage was just some goof

But Herbie sure gave Tony some bitchen proof

"Hey," Herbie said, "Tony, can you fly?"

But Tony couldn't fly . . . Tony died



Repeat Refrain



Brian got busted on a narco rap

He beat the rap by rattin' on some bikers

He said, hey, I know it's dangerous,

but it sure beats Riker's

But the next day he got offed

by the very same bikers



Repeat Refrain

Howie, that's a blast from the past!  Must have heard that one last in the 1980's.  Carroll had a tough life in spots - talented guy.

I just happened to check my shelves about an hour ago, and realized that I have two 1/2 helmets, two 3/4 helmets, and the full face that I just got.  Three of these are less than a year old.  The two 3/4 helmets I forgot that I even had. One is probably about 18 to 20 years old and the other is probably about 11 years old.  Even though these helmets had very little use, were never in an accident, and never dropped, I'm thinking that the advice I've seen in the past would aim me in the direction of tossing those 2 helmets.  Do they become brittle or something...or did I imagine hearing this somewhere?

Bought 1 of these for my lovely BSR to match the 1 that was given to me:



Very lightweight, very comfortable, and the headsets fit easily.  Made by HJC for HD.  Much better than my older, heavier 3/4 helmet. Easily removable face shield - also comes with a visor.






Best to remove the face shield sticker before riding.
