Before you go calling someone ignorant you might want to learn how to spell it.

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.

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...

I prefer hornets and wasps....
The initial impact isn't as great as a plump june bug, but the warm, stinging feeling lasts much longer, especially if you don't pull out the stinger that's embedded in your face.

Sometimes trucks pull in front of you when it is not safe to change lanes, it happens. You would know this if you rode more than 5 miles a year.

You wouldn't need a full face if you weren't following trucks.

But I have seen the light and now have a windshield. 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.

I'm with you on this one.

I know some of you don't like the look or feel it is uncomfortable, but I was in my truck today on the interstate and a semi way in front of me threw up a rock that cracked my windshield and scared the hell out of me. If this thing was to hit me while riding with a half helmet in the face there's no question I would have went down. Not to metion the better protection from other elements such as wind and rain... and of course the safety benefits, it's not worth it for me not to wear a full face, just got me thinking.

So, in conclusion Kolni, you seem to be about as sharp as f*ckin tennis ball. And I'm not your mother, so don't call me that, it creeps me out.
