One thing I love to do on the weekends is either ride my motorcycle fast or actually race. Being in the health industry I know firsthand what can happen to people that ride stupid. By stupid I mean, without protective gear.  If you love to ride then your helmet is obviously much more than a fashion statement. The other day someone asked me what is the best helmet to buy. Wow, there are so many choices. Start out by making sure you are looking only at motorcycle helmets designed for racing because they have extra protection. These days there is no excuse to not wear a top of the line racing helmet to protect your head. There are so many discount motorcycle helmets available. They might be last years close out special but they still look great and, better yet, do the job of protecting your head.

When trying on racing helmets, make sure that it feels light on your head so you won’t have trouble turning as needed. The hard and soft ratio is important, as it ensures the helmet can withstand the force of impact in an accident, rather than placing all of the force on your head. A good, well-made Helmet protects you in a wreck and keeps you comfortable and cool during a long ride.

Whether choosing a motorcycle helmet for pleasure riding or racing, remember that safety has to come before style. Try to find something in the middle: safe and easy on the eyes.  Be sure to look at many of the countless video reviews on helmets. You can buy another helmet but another head is hard to come by.
