So what do you wear primarily?

Spirited ride with advanced riders - full face premium helmet.

Touring, riding inside the limits of the law - premium modular.

ATV/dirt bike, Dirt/MX

Cruiser, no helmet.

Depends on what you're riding, where you're going, how hot the weather is.

full face always

I switched to a Schuberth c3 last year, probably the best comfort and quiet I have ever had. I just hate the colour I chose, I boughtt it for the visibility, white/orange not thinking my head looks life a marmaDuke.

I dumped the Neotech after one ride with the C3. I also have a Scorpion transformer which is perfect for scorching hot days, super comfortable but not the greatest quality. I have a Shoei RF1100 which is excellent, but like the Neotech, seems under designed.

What is “helmet”?

 

[Mad Mike]

Helmet protects your head. Helmut is a German block layer.

I've seen a handful of Indian riders wearing nothing but a turban the past year or two!

It’s a sign of our govt pandering to votes. I remember reading something idiotic where turbans are as safe as helmets....

sikhs are organized and VERY political, shows how effective good lobbying is.

Found it....

Turban instead of helmet!?

In the office the last couple of days there is a new art installation of photos and descriptions...on one of them are 5-6 Sikh riders out of BC and the caption states..."the turban has so much fabric it provides ample protection against injury." wtf....I understand the religious part of wearing...

I think they were already allowed to ride with turbans in other provinces, no?
I remember seeing them in their stalls during motorcycle shows pushing for support in ON in order to make it legal a few years ago.

I'm curious though - can that much hair really help protect their skull in the event (God forbid) of an impact?
Or do they have some special waiver/agreement in place with the insurance companies when it comes to medical claims?

Edit: Just saw @mimico_polak 's post above when I posted this lol.

I always love this pic of a rider with flip flop racing boots.

I was not expecting to see that ?????

no.


In the event of a crash, gravity and the laws of physics determine where and how you land.
I'll trust the scientists and engineers designing and testing helmets over voodoo bs any day.

If I had to choose between religion and riding, id choose riding every time

Sikh riders.

Looks like Full Face is the clear majority.

Although I'm worried about the guy who uses a bicycle helmet. ?

 

[Malks]

I only have one helmet, so modular it is.

Ask them if they have a motorcycle...
