In Austria the MTW is classified as a 3wheel motor bike. Here wearing a helmet is mandatory for bikes...
Other countries, other regulations: I'm interested if MTW owners drive with helmets or just use goggles and maybe other headgear. What's your best experience?

With my 4/4 & +4 with aeros I always used either goggles or safety glasses. A bee in the eye at 20 mph on a bike in the 70s taught me not to risk no protection.

I've got Schuberth flip up C3 helmets with bluetooth intercom form my bikers time. Do I need special car racing helmets or will the bike version to the trick? Most likely there is more air ventilation on the MTW than on my Honda GoldWing. I have Arai jet helmets too but without integrated eye protection and sunshield.
Pilot goggles are available...

Shoei and Schuberth are similar quality class. I had them both and finally the Schuberth fitted beter to my head.
