If I shelled out over $200 for a Davida pudding helmet, I'd be damn sure to put that sticker on for safety!

I agree as well. I've been cut off cuz people think its a bicycle and they pull out and i have to jam on the brakes. Very few people have done a double take when they saw me coming and noticed i was going 10-15mph faster than a bicycle and let me pass before going on their way.
Nice bike wm.
I always wear a full face, in my opinion it doesn't matter what your head looks like before the fall, if it looks great after. In the hot weather I wear an MX full face, cold is a street style.

This is what i ride with. getting into an accident at 30-40mph, screw the bike- its my face i want to save. And most bike accidents its up over the handlebars and a nasty face plant..

I use a MX helmet. I am always being asked why wear such a helmet for only a 20mph speed limit. It's not the speed why I wear a helmet its the 3,000lbs of steel that I have to share the road with why I wear one.

Well said Dave.
Also, not like 20MPH is not enough speed to do real, permanent or final damage to one's noggen either.
I wear a helmet for the same reason I wear seat belts in a car, Carol needs the money I make, lol.

What I have looked at is real WW1 Pickle Spike with leather suspension and a metal bucket. I see it as between a bicycle helmut and a motorcycle one. I ride at between 20 and 25 MPH the vast majority of the time. Too fast for a bike helmut and not fast enough for a more confining motorcycle helmut. They're not cheap so it's not for saving money. Probably be a reproduction though. A good real helmut is about $150 up and a good repro about $80 or so. The motorcycle version just looks terrible to me, too cheap for words 
Same point I've made a few times too. Doesn't matter that you're only going around 20 mph. What matters is the guy coming toward you at 35 mph AND you going his way at an additional 20 mph. Take it from a guy who knows: a Ford F-150 can ruin your day, but with a helmet you can live to see the settlement. I honestly can't tell you how things would have ended without the helmet. But I haven't really wanted to speculate.

Somwhere in this vast repository of knowledge; there is a post on interesting lightweight openface helmets that I THINK were hydrodipped; or painted to look like: Watermelons, skulls and my favorite, various woodgrains. Anybody remember this?
Yes, I hydrodip daily. Works very well. I have found that shampoo as well as a bar of soap come in very handy when hydrodipping. *hint-- it works best if you use a towel AFTER the process. Works like a charm, and my girlfriend also likes it
LOL Dogtown. Made me think of the old "Laughin" show with Arti Johnson;
