    Get an on road lid as it will be a LOT quieter at road speeds. You can get some snazzy looking jobbies these days that have a motox type peak so you get the best of both worlds
    Have fun, whatever you end up with

    Depends what you want the helmet to do...if its only road riding get a road helmet, if you want to go adventure riding (gravel & some tracks) you can use an off road helmet or an adventure helmet like the Grex which give you the peaked off road style with a full visor.

    You didn't park up in Vandeleur Ave at midday, did you?

    EDIT: Saw your location, so most likely not!
    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.
