What brand of motorcycle helmet is recommended as best?
* In the opinion of Timberwoof of Timberwoof's Motorcycle FAQ: HJC, Arai, Shoei, or Nolan. He notes, "The best helmet for you is one that you can afford, that fits, and that you'll wear every time you get on the motorcycle. A $100 Snell and DOT rated helmet is just as safe as a $500 one ... but not as comfortable on long trips. Get a good helmet and wear it always." * Although pricey, many consider Bell to be top of the line. * Many higher end helmets (Arai, Shoei, Suomy) include a removable/washable liner and/or removable cheekpads which aid comfort and a safe and snug fit. You are safer in a helmet that fits properly, and many people wear helmets sized too large thinking it's more comfortable, but safety is compromised. Look for a helmet with a good face shield latching system (typical of the higher end, but not exclusive to just the pricey helmet brands). And while helmets with chin bars (called "full face" helmets) are slightly more restrictive than "open face" helmets, they offer much more facial/skeletal protection and should bear much consideration when you're helmet shopping. * Don't forget that different helmets are made out of different materials. For example, some helmets are a polycarbonate/kevlar combination. This can help increase safety and rigidity. As mentioned above, get the helmet that fits you the best and that is of the highest quality (in many ways the most expensive that you can afford).
SNELL is an addition safety rating for helmets. The SNELL Foundation certification is more stringent than DOT certification.

What engine RPM is safe for engine?
Engine Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) can be "safe" at a variety of levels......depending entirely on what the vehicle is doing.
On the HIGH end:
If the question is meant to determine "how fast can my engine rev safely", the answer is, "Anything below the redline (preferably the orange line) drawn on the tachometer by the motorcycle manufacturer.
In the absence of a tach, you'll know by the screaming and wailing of your engine that you should be shifting gears.....NOW.
In these days of high fuel costs, lower RPM is better......notwithstanding the "need for speed"...and the desire to not blow up your engine.
On the LOW end:
If the question is meant to determine "how slowly can my engine rev safely", the answer is "As slow as it can without the engine chugging and lurching and possibly stalling....notwithstanding the possible need to accelerate quickly, which would of course require higher RPM.
It's an art and a science....with a little bit of politics thrown in on the side.

Child Safety SeatsPassengers under the age of five need to be secured in a government-approved child restraint or safety seat. Children under three years old must be seated in either an approved infant carrier or child safety seat.If you're in the market for one, you can shop online for a child car seat at any time. When ordering, be sure the car seat matches your child's height, weight and age.
Note: Children should always be placed in the back seat, as it offers the most protection in a crash, and also avoids dangers associated with front-seat air bags.
