    Dont crash then

    Tbh i dont see a problem.
    Surely falling off a bike onto headfirst onto concrete is a bigger impact than hitting your head on the roof/windscreen of a car........

    Any helmet will surfice IMO. Most helmets these days are made from carbon/kevlar composites. And you cant put a price on safety. After my bike accident in june, i'm glad i forked out on my helmet. Saved my life when i headbutted a tractor at 50ish mph

    This not do? http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=103975

    Simpson Bandit Nomex is the badboy to have, but at the price of 3x trackdays, I'll stick with my SNELL2005 FIA approved one

    A bike lid is designed to be slammed into the ground and then dragged along it. A car accident could have you banging your head on all sorts of stuff (cage, roof, door etc) which a bike lid isnt designed to deal with but a car one is. Hence car lids not being rated for use on bikes

    iirc OMP do a full face for £100... ok its not the funkiest looking lid but hell its a car spec lid.

    Best thing to do tho is go to a place like GPR and try them on first, and find one which is the correct size and one most important thing is that it is comfortable.
