Maybe more important than helmet with youngsters. AD&D insurance. That said, I wear a full face 80% of the time. Short hops or winter (less bugs) may use the 3/4. Otherwise I like the security of the 4/4.

I don't give a flying f what others think. My most important image is as Dad. Anyone who wants to undermine that will get a tornado kick followed by a hammer fist.

I wear a fullface when it's needed due to weather. I wear a no mushroom lid from http://www.bikerhelmets.com when the law requires it, or the mood strikes me.

I've always worn one, and I've only had Harleys. I don't enjoy the taste of bugs. Don't enjoy road debris hitting my face, I can still see in the rain, and I can keep my face looking the same should I go down. F**k what the haters say about it, it's your dome brother.

Full face helmet yesterday, full face helmet today and full face helmet tomorrow.

Wore a helmet when on a sport bike but not on a H-D! Just were does that rule come from? I must not have gotten the memo.

I have 22 H-D's and read each manual. Nowhere did they say don't wear a helmet.

I wear my Arai XD all the time. Good vision, ventilation, more room than standard full face helmets. I don't ride without it.

No full face for me....I wear a 3/4 helmet but I'm not riding during winter. In early spring or fall I could sometimes use a full face, especially when riding the early morning hours.

I appreciate the replies guys. I will tell you. I was awful glad to have lastnight on the way home since every bug in 2 county's decided to dive bomb me like a Japanese zero. It took me 10 minutes to get all the bugs off of it once home.
