I have been doing some research into helmets in the last few weeks, nothing too serious just some casual comparisons.
I was in the city on saturday afternoon and was close enough to bother popping into some motorcycle stores, my gf loved it!
A couple of close mates have sparco helmets and they cost upwards of $1000.
To me, a $100 helmet = a $100 head, but in the same sentence i'm not entirely convinced i'll need to spend $1000-$2000 on a helmet, can't something comfortable and safe be had for around the $500-$750 bracket???
is it going to be as safe to use a helmet predominantly designed for a bike rather than splashing out on something more car orientated?
Maybe some of the motorsprt guys/girls could post up what they wear in a simple format?

Purchase price:
Personal rating:
attach a pic: (if you can be bothered)
in the personal rating, just a couple of comments describing comfort/weight, whether the linings are removable for cleaning etc... maybe rate it out of 10?
don't start a safety first flame match, i'm looking for good information and a healthy discussion on what keep's your noggin from receiving a floggin
