How would a helicopter helmet fare in a motorcycle crash. My new motorcycle helmet is on back order so I was considering wearing my helicopter helmet till it arrives. Would it offer good protection and be legal in a state where helmets are required?

Two different designs to meet two different scenarios; I wouldn't do it. Your bike brain bucket is designed for more protection in impacts as most bikers exit the vehicle in crashes whereas most pilots stay inside the aircraft.

Flight helmet is not DOT certified for motorcycle use...  make sure you put the NVG's on and take a photo if you do it though :)
