The Keiser helmet would be sweet. Yeah you need a DOT helmet in VT, but any style. NH you don't, but I would imagine if we go to NH it'll be quick so you might as well leave it on...

Yeah speed we dont have to wear them either but I have both a jockey style and a full face so if I have to wear one to protect my ugly mug you should protect that pretty face of yours their Nugg .

In addition to a DOT helmet, you also have to have suitable eye protection in Vermont unless your bike has a windshield that's tall enough to protect your eyes.

To be completely honest, in late May/early June in Vermont, I would strongly recommend a full-face helmet or a 3/4 helmet with a face shield, because there will be a lot of bugs out.
