It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Get ready to loose DOT and SNELL safety certifications in upcoming helmets for double the price.

Anyone know of any other good moto helmets that are still safe?

And they've been sold before. Might be bad, might be neutral, probably won't bring improvement.
