    Not wanting to sound too picky, but i wouldn't wear a non approved helmet, they are tested for one main reason, that the contents of your noggin will generally remain........... exactly that, the contents.

    You'll be lucky. He has the fastest nicking in the country, longest chase, most nicked in one day, etc... As said, they're approved for a reason. Hate to sound preachy, but why take the risk? A bit like, why drive your car without wearing a seatbelt? You're only doing it for one reason, and that's to piss off the law. I believe in freedom of expression, and all that, but some things are just asking for it. Sorry, just my opinion... :

    I don't do things to upset the law but the law always seems to try its very best to upset me!I always wear a seat belt in a car have had many bikes from ccms(Proper big bore r30m rotax lumps) to hard tailed big ol gs1000 chops to more modern z1000s and cruizers from japs to victorys and have always liked the feeling of freedom and self expression that bikes give you and feel the same about lids as I do about seat belts they should be a choice you make not have somebody make for you!We are all grow adults and know the score but if you want to ride and feel the wind in your hair then providing you have the insurance in place and your bikes in good order why the hell should'nt you ?
