I was Given one of these For Free when I bought some parts on ebay(not sure why)  but hey free helmet right?

Holy shaZam! is this thing a piece of shaZam!!!! Came new in the box, sealed and all, but thats about the only nice thing about this helmet. The padding is scratchy and Cheap.  The finish quality sucks and the vents well, they work, but look like crap.  The Chin strap doesnt have a button to keep the end from slapping the side of the helmet.  oh and driving with it, forget it.  Loud as hell.  at 20 it was like going 80 in my scorpion.  I wouldnt trust it in a crash at 4 miles an hour let alone 70.  It is DOT Approved, but most likely barely.

so moral, dont even take this if its given to ya, and for the love of god dont buy one.  They are all over ebay for real cheap so if you are thinking about buying one for a back up or something, DONT!!!!!

anybody want a helmet???

My cheap ass AFX held up in a 50mph wreck

This is the helmet im talking about.   it scares me.  I notice they have quite a few different ones but this one is a pile

Yup, that's the one.   It wasn't very comfortable but I got it for 25 shipped   To tide me over until I could find something nice that I liked.

no one has yet to review the helmet on the link perhaps you should

that I will!

What size is it?  If you're going to trash it, I'll take it for a passenger helment

Honestly man, I wouldnt reccomend it as a passenger helmet. its a large though

If it's DOT approved, it will protect you in a crash.  Not having a button for the strap doesn't sound too good though.  If you had to keep that helmet you could fix that with some velcro.

Sounds like the helmet is horribly uncomfortable!

Is that the same helmet thats in your avatar, Terry?

yeah if u don't want it ill take it, my wifes been wantin to ride for awhile now, but i don't have a helmet for her.  she wants to buy a pink one off ebay, but ive been afraid that she won't like ridin an then i wasted 100. 

Nope, that's my HJC.  (way the f%$k nicer)    I should take pics of my AFX.   It got seriously f%&ked up in the wreck.

I thought that if that was your AFX helmet, darb could use his to try and grow a cat in it as well if he doesn't want to wear it.

My BIL has a HJC & he really likes it. I have an AXO which is a nice helmet.

I haven't been able to ride in the HJC yet.   But, I've tried it on and it's way more comfortable.
Growing a kitten can be done in any helmet

Ive ridden with an HJC way nicer, waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy nicer and better constructed

And my kitten looks way cuter than in my wrecked, gray AFX

Being a noob to this growing a kitten in a helmet thing, wouldnt it be better to grow them in helmet you weren't planning on using, cause kittens can smell a bit.  

Naw,   you just gotta give him frequent baths.  He smell like Mandarin Lime

I hate cats, they make my eyes swell shut
