who makes the best motorcycle helmets?

bicycle helmets don't save lives image

deeeeeeeev

a friend of mine is buying a bike and i was wondering who makes the best quality, who was the first to make them and who is the number one?

Answer
You're gonna get grief over "this isn't the motorcycle section" but some of us ride both motorcycles and bicycles.
Best quality is Arai and Shoei, also Suomy, AGV, Shark
Bell was the first to make full face helmets many years back. And one of their dirt helmets saved my life so I'll give them a thumbs up but they aren't what they used to be.
Best value...KBC, Scorpion, HJC, lower end AGV and Suomy.

Don't buy anything that is not DOT approved, Snell ratings are usually on nicer lids but there has been some controversy lately if they protect better. There's a European rating that I can't remember right now that is good too.

bicycle riders, has your helmet ever been useful?

have you ever crashed and be glad that you had a helmet (because it worked for good).

I'm trying bmx tricks and I just feel safe and don't see the need of a helmet at all (which I don't see as a good thing). I would like to ask others for reference and ask about previous experiences or knowlege in general.

Answer
I don't like wearing a helmet either, but helmets saved my life when i crashed at 40 mph on a road bike and another where I smashed my head into a rock on a mountain bike ride.
If you ride a bike, you are going to crash, period. Since you are doing tricks, that puts you at greater risk. You don't want to be that one kid who everybody remembers for face planting on his bike then becoming a vegatable.
You should perpare for that if you don't wear a helmet. Why wouldn't you protect the most important organ in your body?
I never ride without one.
Buy one and wear it.

Keep it in the big ring.
