Sexiest 3/4 helmet?

Of course a full face helmet is the best, but no one should argue if someone wants to wear a 3/4 helmet.  At least they're wearing something.
Look at motorcycle police.  They wear 3/4 helmets.

I had a 3/4 helmet that I gave away, because I thought a full face is all I needed, but sometimes I wish I had that 3/4 helmet for some rides.

Just be aware of your surroundings, pay attention to the drivers on the road and don't ride like an idiot and you already decrease your chances of getting into an accident.
This may sound stupid and common sense, but apparently there are those riders out there that do not know how to control themselves or pay full attention to the traffic around them.

Suomy is now offering some pretty nice looking 3/4's as well. Let's get back on topic here and leave the PSA's to the surgeon general.

I did a nasty wheelie the other night wearing my half shell and dress shoes while out on the town.  The problem was my leather soled dress shoes don't grip the pegs that well, so I really racked myself coming down to hard after about half a block (no need to cover the rear brake on a Ducati, engine braking is such that the slightest roll off the throttle brings it down fast).  My next peice of safety gear just might be some tank grip.  Nearly pulled my groin. 

Pudding bowls UNITE!

First of all - I've been there and know exactly what it's like jackass.

Secondly, I'd hold off on calling someone and idiot when what happened wasn't even his fault.

I was just stating my opinion. FWIW.

I didn't say anything derogatory or personally directed at anyone. You might want to check that.

alright we get it.

what type of helmet someone chooses to use or not to use is their choice.

this particular thread wasn't started for safety, but it also wasn't started for pissing on people.

so can we get back to the helmets... some are pretty cool (and whether i would wear them or not is irrelavent)

Great crush zone on those things, but you can still get injured even through a ginormous full face:
