What Helmet Do You Wear?
Thanks guys for more replys and assuring me it's ok to have a ff on a Harley. Like I said the only ff users I see are on rockets. I still think ff looks kinda out of place on a Harley cause they are more of a racer type lid but I will order a flat black one soon.

3/4: HJC AC-3 Carbon (carbon fiber) w/HJC HJ-11 face shield
Half: Daytona D2-GNS DOT Skull Cap w/o visor (grey carbon fiber)
Daytona for local rides, but wind noise is brutal. HJC for highway, carbon fiber is light and well vented. As bad as the drivers, traffic and road conditions are around here (couple miles outside of NYC), not risking the skid lid. Doesn't bother me though, wore a FF for almost 10 years on my sport bikes.

I'm not concerned with what other folks are wearing...
I have an Arai RX-Q (full face) that I usually wear. Just safer, and the chin / jaw injury picture a previous poster put up illustrates why.
I don't mean to hijack the thread -- but I wonder if color plays into anyone else's helmet choice. I think it was mentioned in the German motorcycling that wearers of white helmets were significantly underrepresented in the accident reports, which the authors suggested might be due to the visibility of white helmets.
I thought, "huh," and started to look out, when I was driving in my cage, to see if white helmets made a difference. And my own subjective view, it seems to. So when I had to replace my old helmet, although I loved the flat black, I went for white. I want to make it as easy as possible for the moron in the minivan texting on his cellphone while he drinks coffee and reads the newspaper to see me.
Anyone else have similar experience?
