I often wonder why helmets are STILL so heavy. BMW made one at right around 2 lbs (mine was a small, just under 2) 10 years ago.

congratulations, Owner.

Except when it doesn’t. If everyone HAD to wear an aerostitch from the first ride, we would have far fewer bikers. I know I got into it to play Steve Mcqueen. Those first rides (before your first crash) with the wind whipping through a 3/4 and lifting your tshirt are important experiences to some people.
