Helmets and other marital aids

I was not sure if this should go in pics, safety or white zone. So I put it here.

Was talking to Death (like Santa in the mall, not the real one) Who has a really cool helmet and thought about starting a thred. Aside from the safety issue, there are some really cool helmets you can get. I am finding when all I had was the silly looking bicycle helmet, I never wore it. Now with a silly looking cool helmet, I never ride with out it. (Yesterday, Carol and her Mom were laughing at me. I was walking around the house wearing shorts, t-shirt and helmet&goggles)

This helmet was $18+ shipping, $32. $50 total

They also have really funky jet ones with 2 visors that slide up in to the a shield.

hahahahaha @Dan, I can see why you had them laughing. It is a very strange ensemble to say the least for bike riding.Thats a true "road warrior" set up. If by standers dont stop and gawk at your bike alone, they sure will at your head gear

Something about those are cool even though they look funny. I have one on my list of things I must have. It might even keep the police at bay, they'll be laughing to hard to give chase.

Is funny, Top pic is first ride with seat, handle bar roll bag and helmet that all matched. I was wearing 2 different socks.

Definitely beer goggles. I use a ski/snowboard helmet myself to keep the ears warm this time of year.

Pics, pics Mabman! we need pics!

One of the things I really like about the helmet pictured above is it has removable ear flaps. the summer is still gonna be ruff with the heat. No vents on 'em. (just thought of that, hmmm)

Now I need to find a summer helmet. Advice and links welcomed.
