I'm ok with being called a ***** for having a shield. I'd prefer that over getting nailed in the face by rocks and bugs. Besides, I am what I eat

Yes, yes it is. I recommend immediately replacing it with a solid steel face shield. Ride by feeling the road and becoming one with your bike. Only pussies need to see the road.

The best response. There's whole huge thread going on in the Sportster forum about FF helmets. Too many people worrying about what others think. Ride for you and only you.

I have one and wear it in cooler weather. Like the rest...who cares what others think. Riders are just like everyone else. You have nice people that are welcoming and open to getting along with the masses regardless of their look or status and you have a small minority of D-Bags that judge you. Funny thing is all the D-Bags usually look the same.
