Helmet? They cost too much to buy one. So i just ride without it. But i do wear a baseball hat backward and some cool sunglasses. Or i'll wear one of these when i go carve the canyons at triple digits.

I recently did the helmet shopping thing. I found the only thing that fit my head were a Shoei X-11 and the Scorpion EXO-700. Then the X-12 wheeling and dealing started so I ordered an X-12 (supposed to fit the same as an X-11). Pricey, but it ended up being Rae's 20th anniversary present to me. I just gotta wait for it.

Re: Helmet brand do you pefer?
Arai - no contest
Shoei has made great strides and if it fits you - fine
but the replacable liners , ventilation and quality
along with the best safe helmet (bar none) it has to be an Arai
if you want looks and do not care about fit, finish, ventilation and safety
get any helmet
icon, hjc or ???
finally - handlebars ...an Aprilia Tuono with Ohlins and OZ's
present
past rides too numerous to mention

AGV Stealth. Its the only helmet I've ever owned. I've worn HJC, KBC, and Scorpion but liked the weight, ventilation and price of the AGV.

kinda a dumb opinion, and I have an Arai.
I have had shark rsi hologram and an icon airframe. The shark helmet was absolutely a sickening helmet with a great fit and a genius/simple shield system, and was extremely light.
The icon was the 2009 helmet. It was gorgeous helmet but had some issues. The inner liner was held in by plastic dots that never held properly. The forehead liner was just pressed in, and when I moved the helmet around when it was on would fall down into my line of sight which caused some major issues. And dont even get me started on the visor removal/install system, I hope the retard who designed this got shot, In the 6 months I had it I had to replace the side plates 7 times, even when "performance" put them on they would damage them, very disappointed.
Hook line and sinker
haha...kind of what I was getting at...
to be honest I was very dissapointed with the finish and harware quality on the higher end helmets (suomy and arai specifically) I felt like I was going to snap the vents off when I was trying them on
After recently seeing Bob's collection of used scopions and HJC's, I have a renewed faith in helmets that don't retail for $800
