Just imagine how difficult it is to get all of that beautiful hair in a helmet! But then, the face is why I wear a mask when I wrestle.

Well I didnt get a yellow lid but I did get a silver. Still pretty visable in the day and VERY easy to see at night. yellow is not that good at night unless it has reflectivity added. Silver is naturally reflective.

I think the wild graphics actually make a helmet blend in BETTER. So many different colors out in the world that things can get muddled.

Also keep in mind that a lighter colored helmet will be cooler when it's hot out..

[eldar]

THATS for sure! I am glad I have a silver helmet with the heat we all had this summer.

somebody here said "Silver is the new Flat Black" all the cool kids are wearing it, as seen by this months BOTM,

I went with silver beacuse i have a few different colors of bikes and need something to go with them all.

this is my Scorpion, fits my round head pretty well.

Yeah...I wear the old black skid lid and thought my head was gonna burst into flames last month when we had a 10 day heat wave (3 days in a row...111 degrees). I will probably buy a cheap #$%* full face Bell for winter riding....can be had for around $125.I had a full Arai afew years back but sold it to a guy that needed it more than me at the time.

You'll enjoy the Bell. Nice features at a nice price. I've ridden about 20,000km in mine and love it.
