Smells of Raw Fuel
In Delaware you do not need to wear a helmet, but you must have a DOT approved helmet on your bike while riding. If you get stopped and don't have a helmet on your bike...uh oh! Not DOT approved...that's worse. I wear a helmet though. But recently I went helmet shopping.
I currently have a full face, 3/4, and a polo style. I want to get a skull cap style (small round one just on top). I like the others, but want to try the skull cap. However, I noticed that a DOT approved helmet has a bunch of padding obviously. Which makes the skull cap look a little silly. I have no vanity issues. Socks with sandles...all for it. Jorts (jean shorts)...love 'em. I could give a rats ass, but when I looked in the mirror it made my head look like it now had a reservoir tip. It was pretty bad. It also felt top heavy. Not having sides that come over the ear or somewhat around the back of the head makes it very strange. The padding makes it sit quite high. I instantly went from 5' 5" to 5' 10". They do make a skull cap that sits lower on your head, but it is not DOT approved.
So my question is what are you wearing? Anyone know of a DOT approved helmet that will not make me look ridiculous? And that helmet did, believe me.
