Who wears a full face?
So the deal was getting another bike after 6 yrs being off of one with the wife is that I wear a helmet. I always wore a helmet when I rode sport bikes, but never have on a cruiser. Then again we have 2 small kids now. To be completely honest I was planning on just getting a low profile novelty helmet just to please the wife since she doesn't know any better. That is until a guy I work with (long time Harley rider) talked me I to getting a full face. So tonight after work I went down and bought me a flat black full face helmet. It's actually pretty nice to wear going down the highway, I just feel like I'm doing something wrong wearing one on a Harley. Like I look like a big ole ***** going down the highway.
I know safety is most important, but there's an image to be upheld too, and all the DOT 1/2 helmets look like a mushroom so that **** wasn't going to work.

I'm wearing a modular in the cool weather, a half in the summer. Don't worry about what everyone else thinks. Be yourself.

wear what you're comfortable in!!! with kids you have to be safe...I stopped riding for a few years until my kids were teenagers. I always wore one years ago because I was on active duty an had to. when I went back to riding I rarely wore a helmet until they talked me into wearing one now I don't feel right without it. I mostly wear a crazy al's dot beanie which is the size/weight of a novelty but a step up. I wear a 3/4 with face bubble sometimes on longer rides an a FF on long highway rides.
