@injunjack:

I have to ask, how keen cops are checking your lids in the land of milk 'n' honey??

Asking cause I've been riding past 20 or so years with totally illegal lid a O-Hei helmet. Similar to Davida classic but true vintage. Never had an issue with cops.

Sometimes when I use 3/4 helmet, they're novelty or just plain old, with no approvals. Also never a problem.

depends where you are and what youre riding
some cops are dicks

and you didnt say slab or cone shovel?

G, sorry, didn't find time to pop in to see these guys at the weekend, but it looks like you're moving forward quickly - are they building a new bike for you?

In KY and most of the surrounding states we are free to choose to ride helmet-free… No cops bugging you about exercising your rights.

[summ3rhays]

Utah is the same way.  No helmet laws.  Personally I wouldn't ride without one, but it a choice.

Are you in Ontario? Apparently ECE lids are legal there since 2012.

My Google Fu is strong!

So are you going to order up a Hedon then @natehate ? If it's any help, they felt as though they had a long oval fit, similar to a Davida lid.

[natehate]

sent you a pm @Graeme

Just how fast are modern bikes? :o

[summ3rhays]

Pretty cool.  I watched that yesterday.

[Bluegrass]

That was off the hook!  Wow…..... It takes serious BALLS to ride a motorcycle that fast.

The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride in London. If you watch it, you can spot Mark Eley of Eley Kashimoto (in the zig zag suit), and Scott of Dawson Denim.

I'd have gone along, only I thought that my Beemer was too modern to fit in with the prevailing vibe.
