RE: Never riding without a full face!
Btw I got clocked by a rock once when there was no one anywhere in line of sight in front of me on the freeway. I swear it jumped up off the ground itself. Hit me between the upper lip and my nose, brought a tear to my eye I tell yas. Damn gremlins!

RE: Never riding without a full face!
I think a full face or even a modular has a lot of merit. But.................. a dozen years or so ago I did a stupid manuever on gravel with a full face Shoei and besides the damage to the bike, I landed in such a way that the front bottom of the helmet broke my collar bone on the left side. It was a long time healing.
I am spooked byfull faced helmetsnow, so I wear a Nolan with a plexi shield open faced helmet. I have taken a hard bug or two under the visor, but I feel most comfortable wearing a open face helmet personally, but others should wear what they feel is best for them.

If you don't have one, well you're just ignorent. I just feel it's my duty to tell you this even though you may not want to hear it. Trust me, it's for your own good.

RE: Never riding without a full face!
I'm a no windshield type of guy.I wore a full face Shoei for years and found it to be the most comfy helmetI ever owned.As the years have gone by,I've been using less and less helmet.(full face,3/4,half,beanie,nothing)Now that I ride mostly helmetless,I often think about what a nice sized rock to my face would feel like.Bugs and pebbles can sting pretty good.I can't imagine a rock!You know what stings pretty bad,but you wouldn't think it does?Leaves falling off the trees on a coolautumn morningwhile you are going 60.It feels like I'm getting bitch slapped over and over!Sometimes I wish I still had that full face helmet...
