I need some help with my helmet hunt for my street bike.

sorry, not trying to preach, I have ridden without a helmet many times, I just like the feel of the Arai's.

I used to wear the HJC brand half-helmet. They were nice and came with a leather ear muff thing that zipped on and kept the ears warm when it got cold.

I think this is the helemt I saw on that show.

That HJC sounds like somehting I might want.

The difference between a full face helmet and an open face helmet is a closed casket vs open casket funeral.

Different model helmets fit different head shapes, always try on a helmet in person before you buy, make sure it's comfortable.

That is the problem I am facing. I will not buy a helmet beofre I try it on. I agree 100%. The problem is I do not know what to look for and where. So I am trying to narrow my search on here, then hit the bike shops.

That is not exactly like it, but it is real close. Who makes it?

Mine is a Nolan. Here is a link to one like it.

I had one like this and liked it. Lightweight and as close to not wearing a lid as possible.

I know a few guys running these also

That is a bit more than I have to spend. It is a nice helemt though. Maybe I can locate one on ebay.

I have a skull cao just like that. But considering I am about to enter a career in law enforcement, I figured it is best that I wear a legal DOT approved helmet.

Mine was DOT approved. You just have to search for them.
