I'm getting my 125m tomorrow, plan on doing some riding this weekend! for those of you in the know, what is a good brand, affordable helmet? And what is the right type to get?
I saw a few on ebay, didn't know if they were the right type or not.

I would not buy a helmet without putting it on my head first.. I would go down to your local bike shop and at least try them on...even if you do end up buying mail order.

Our local bike shops have good selections and high prices. Every brand fits a little different and I would not buy one without trying one on.

I got lucky with mine, both are the same brand, differant models, but same size, my personally helmet fits perfect, the other one, it seems too small, but just right for all my double up'ees

Fulmer helmets are nice, and also arent priced bad either.

A helmet is like an insurance policy.... pump alot of money into something that you need, but hope to never need to use it.
I wear ARAI, they have saved me before, I will wear them for along time. They are a bit of money, but the comfort is well worth it.

Unrelated story......
I'm working at the New England Patriots Foxborough Stadium where hard hats are required. 2 days ago, a guy on a JD Gator flipped over and it was bad bad bad. his hard hat flipped off... He died twicw in the helicopter and now he's in a coma.
Those dam hard hats don't stay on or do chit. And neither does a helmet that doesn't fit right or doesn't get latched. Too many guys refuse to strap on their helmet and I can't see why??
Go down and try on the a helmet, then order the one you like in the same size. Wear it all the time and strap it too!!
All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country

I bought a HJC Cromium helmet. It is like a chrome silver with red and other colors over the chrome look. Looks very cool. I paid over $300 for it. Remember if you have a $50 dollar head wear a $50 dollar helmet. I learned the hard way. Did not wear my helmet just to test run my 250R down the street and back. That is the only time I wrecked it. I broke everything on my face and had to have reconstructive surgery. I also broke my T-7 vertebre and hand. But most damage was to my face and neck. Not to mention the road rash and the neat ride in the helicopter.
