DOT ¾ Shell RK4 Silver Motorcycle Helmet with removable visor

What do you mean I have to check this DOT ¾ Shell Silver Motorcycle Helmet with removable visor?!

What are we flying on, the back of a bumblebee?

Stewarde- I mean, Ms. Flight Attendant, I assure you my RK4 ¾ Shell Silver Motorcycle Helmet will fit in the overhead compartment or beneath the seat in front of me. I realize it’s a smaller plane, but this isn’t a huge motorcycle helmet. Perhaps you’re assuming, based on its DOT safety rating and Fiberglass shell, that its spaciousness requires a large volume.

This Motorcycle Helmet, my dear Ms. Flight Attendant, is a mere 10.6” x 12.5” x 10.8”. Well within your airline’s spatial requirements for carry-on motorcycle Helmets. And yet within those diminutive dimensions I have a Flip Shield, Steel Rivets, removable cheek pads, air ventilation, passport, borrow edge trim, UV Lacquer Finish, and a silicon coated face shield.

Look lady, I’m trying to be civil. This is Rodia. You don’t check a Rodia Motorcycle Helmet. Well to be honest because I think those monkeys down there will scuff it’s UV Lacquer Finish luggage tags. Who knows? One of them might urinate on its padded neck roll and chin strap.

Okay, so that last one’s a stretch, but I’m not checking this Motorcycle Helmet!
