It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

You need an ECE 22.06, or better yet, SNELL rated full face motorcycle helmet. DOT is legally acceptable in the US but get better protection than the bare minimum.
Even 25mph is plenty fast for life altering (or ending) injuries, you can get messed up going even slower than that and the faster you go the amount of energy involved in an impact goes up way more than your speed increases.
Get yourself some motorcycle gloves and consider a jacket/pants/boots too especially if you're going to be riding frequently.
Vendorwise, revzilla or motosport should be fine.
