I have a buddy that drag races. He wears one of those at the track. He says that it is heavy. Its fine to wear for a few minutes at a time, but it would be too much for for long term use. If I remember correctly, that model isn't DOT approved.

Ah the Simpson - A classic. Almost everyone in Dragracing (Funny cars, Top Fuelers ...) are using Simpsons (No relation to Homer). They've looked that way since at least since the eighties. You would look like a silly bugger using it while driving a bike.

i remeber looking at that helmet too, i thought it looked pretty tough, but all my friends made fun of me for wanting it...better stick to the bike helmets i guess..but i still like it..especially if it has a tight paint job..just my 2cents

I think that that is a helmet for cars and such. I am not sure how good they will be when ridding your bike.
Although...That helmet can complete the PowerRanger outfit rather nicely images/icons/grin.gif
