I've crashed my motorcycle so trust me I believe in helmets.

I went to the store the other day to buy my first new helmet in 20 years. And I was severely disappointed! All they had were these https://www.specialized.com/us/en/he...vail-ii/117201 on sale for $170. And IMHO there's nothing to them but a tiny piece of foam that won't do crap if a car hits you. Personally I feel much safer with the older style helmets!

...I've bought motorcycle helmets cheaper that have a higher crash rating, fancy vents and a windscreen. Bike helmets are a complete scam and rip off.
