This will help you make up your mind. As for me, I wear a DOT half police style helmet.
Good luck.:rawk:
Thanks...read it...re-read it...so my choice is...hers must also be SNELL approved, sorry if that offends anyone !! Everyone has freedom of choice, which is the really cool thing, which is why my helmet is SNELL approved, and if my wife decides to ride with me, hers will be as well.

FYI, when I dropped of my bike for tires, there was this young, 20-something (very cute BTW), sitting on her crotch rocket next to my GZ250, and my wife remarked, "her bike looks so much bigger than yours, I was a little embarrassed". To which I replied, "yeah, but I have my GZ250 for different reasons, I don't need big and speedy, and she's an idiot for wearing just a tank top. You might be able to recover from "road rash" in your 20's, but it's a lot harder in your 40's, and wouldn't you want me to make sure that if, god forbid, I ever go down, that I had my armor on and it kept me around for our 3-year old son ?" All I heard was..."good point...you're right..."

p/s: I'm always right !!
