No. You want a helmet that
>Protects your brain
>Protects your face
>Fits comfortably for extended periods of time
>Looks good
In that order.

Open face doesn't protect your jaw. That in itself won't result in severe brain injury, but I presume you like to eat your food, not suck it through a straw. So, if you like your mandibles, get a full-face. Not the flip-open models either, those don't offer the best protection either.

The Scout isn't the most conventional looking cruiser. It's brute in a lot of ways with its angular shapes and dark theme. So I'm thinking you should look for the same characteristics in a helmet to find one that fits it. Biltwell Lane Splitter or something.
>>
>>17577355
Simpson make a few similar models since these are dirt helmet inspired, like the Street Bandit.

A foot is a smaller loss than a brain. Besides, I've picked the photo mainly to demonstrate the helmet model's marketing as cruiser-related.

It's like every motorcycle is black, white, red, yellow, blue or silver/gray now.

I know, just point out the squidyness of the guy on the bike. Helmet looks okayish.

You can literally die from infections stemming from road rash, and given that hospitals often have strains of antibiotic resistant germs floating about, its likely you would catch something.

Also death by infection is much painful way of dieing than blunt force trauma.

I have a bobber modified keeway superlight that kinda looks like your pic, I got myself a shark raw 2 months ago, I use it with glasses without any problem

A lot of helmets look utterly retarded on a lot of bikes. You can wear a crotchrocket helmet on a crotchrocket, but wearing it on a cruiser will make look like an idiot.

Highly questioning the protective qualities of that chin piece.

No actual rider calls a sportbike a "crotchrocket" or assumes they only get a type of helmet. You just sound ignorent. It's like calling a magazine a clip. Just shows your lack of knowledge
>>
>>17578474
This

Sorry m8 you're a fucking sperg show yourself the door.

No motorcyclist whose opinion is worth anything says "crotchrocket" or "cruiser-style" helmet.
Helmets are helmets
Heads are heads
Hitting the asphalt at 75mph is going to fucking hurt no matter what you fell off of.

Maybe I just hate sportbike cunts.

His opinion, and yours, are worth nothing because he/you is/are uneducated and don't know a fucking thing about motorcycling
