I've been thinking about getting one of those for awhile now. I would like to see some pics when you get a chance.

Frank, I have been considering the same helmet (white version) of the DOT also. One thing though, what do you do if it rains? With a 3/4 helmet (which they don't make)you can always snap on one of the flat faceshields. Or maybe some sort of goggle like the Davida? I have an old Buco from the 60's and I love it but it just doesn't fit me right. It only adjusts out to a 7-3/8 and I need that extra 1/4". Any suggestions would be welcome.

Buy Wiley X goggles and then you re set. I have the carbonfiberhelmet and love it. Proper eye wear is a MUST.

I've ridden in the rain with my Head Trip helmet and goggles more than I care to think about. Anyway a good set of goggles will remain clear from rain and fog. I don't use a mask, the ran only hurts until your face goes numb.
BTW: A have a pair aviator t2 goggles. Speny but worth it. Those goggles combined with the head trip/leather ear straps definetly a unique look.
