I would get this best helmet I could to protect my sly dome.  I wouldn't get on a bike without one.

Helmets and boots are a must for me when I ride. I've always worn full face helmets.... I'm going to geta modular because I like the protection of the favce when in the down position but I like the convenience of the flip up.

Full protection is the only way to go Mike. I used a full face and had no problem with it.
When something gets kicked up from the road and just glances off your face shield, you'll be glad you had it.
There's so many choices now, and the flip up is very functional as well.

Very good points by Nonick. I recommend you get yourself a good jacket and boots too. You want to have the best protection you can get. Hopefully you never have to find out, but it's good to know it's there if you need it.

Keep us posted on your decision, and be safe.

So I bought a helmet this evening. I bought a Fulmer M1 Modular ($150).
It gets pretty nice reviews, especially for this price point, and fits me like a glove.
I wasn't familiar with Fulmer but have been seeing them in a lot of accessory store. I did a little research and they've been around about 40 years.

I love the flip up face bar.

I've seen a pair of Milwaukee boots that I want in two separate places but neither place had my size.

I bought summer gloves last weekend.,......
