They did it in The Fast & the Furious, so it must be cool  :)

Seriously though, I guess it would look alright.  Personally, I'll stick with my street helmet.

Open-face with the visor. Very cool.

If you want an inexpensive helmet that looks like an off road helmet, try the Nolan N70.  Fullface with a visor/peak.

The reason I said this is coz I don't want a heavy helmet with lot of foam which tucks your head right in.

I would love to ride without a helmet (Of course, making sure I never take any chances of falling, or exceeding 50-55mph ). It would be lovely to cruise around and feel the wind in the face.

Can't do it, coz its illegal here in Aus, so I felt the off-road helmet is best. Its very light, and dosent have too much foam, and blows the wind right in.

i think it would look pretty "hardcore" if you ask me. its illegal here in AL to have one like that. you have to have a visor on your helmet.....i think.

It will.

Open face, visor and WWI fighter pilot plate glass goggles. :thumb:

It'll look even better when you put a Metzeler Tourance enduro tire on the rear!
