Would it be legal to wear a Simpson Diamondback helmet on a motorcycle?I was looking at a Simpson Diamondback racing helmet, and I was wondering whether I could wear it legally on a motorcycle. Would it be comfortable, too heavy, etc?
Snell is great and all that but if you want to be legal in the States you need the DOT tag.
Edit: Snell is not DOT and DOT is not Snell. Most helmet laws refer to an "approved list". Further research shows that there usually isn't

McQueen part-funded the 1971 indie film, often credited as the most important motorcycle doco ever made, and also features in it. The grainy insight into bike racing added more fuel to a California kid's burning desire to hit the track, an ambition fully realised today - Pruett has done, and won, everything from Indycars and Winston Cup to Le Mans Corvettes.
McQueen was good enough to race professionally. His skill is plain to see in Bullitt and Le Mans, in which his character utters one of the best motorsport lines of all time: "Racing is life, anything that comes before or after is just waiting."
So Pruett carries the torch and enjoys it when other hardcore fans make a connection. But not all do.
"Before this helmet, I had another one the same, but it just said McQueen. But people started to think, 'Oh, yeah, Lightning McQueen [from Cars],"' Pruett says, shaking his head that anyone could mistake his big-screen hero with a Pixar cartoon character.
The Henderson 250 was the last race of the six-race Best in the Desert series, and the Pro UTV title was on the line. Four-time championship winner Jagged X led the series by a few points with Matt Parks right on its tail. The Transwest Ford Henderson 250 would be the deciding factor.
The race started before dawn with freezing temperatures and howling winds in Jean, Nev. The Jagged X crew was confident with the No. 1919, but in racing, nothing is ever a sure thing. By mile 14, they realized how something as small as a clogged fuel injector could change an entire season. Brandon Schueler managed to limp the No. 1919 into the second pit and after some diagnosis and a quick repair the car was back on the course at 100 percent. Even a few minutes lost in a short race like this is detrimental. Schueler was able to make up some time but in the end, was short of the finish the team had hoped for. When the dust cleared the Jagged X No. 1919 team ended the incredibly great season in the second overall position.
