If I've got the freedom to be unfashionable then I reckon you have the right to post your opinion that I look a little unfashionable with either my 3/4 or FF helmet on. I'll readily admit I don't enjoy wearing the lid - I just view it as a reasonable compromise.
I rented a sportster for a day of riding hwy 1 out in your neck of the woods a few years back. I have road envy.

My apologies to everyone! I was looking at it through the eyes of a Californian. The weather here in central California gets extremely hot and there are lots of beautiful things to see. Especially cruising the coast. I agree that there are circumstances where a full face helmet would be beneficial, i.e. highway speeds, inclement weather, etc. And I know some locations make it next to impossible wearing anything but a full face helmet. I spent six years in Michigan and I would never wear anything but a full face helmet there. But, when conditions are optimal, I think a cruiser would be much better off in a half helmet. When you're sweating your as@%$ off at slower speeds in a full face helmet, it's kind of hard to enjoy anything! Just a thought!
I lilved in San Diego for three years. I don't recall ever seeing a locust out there. Hit one of those with your face at 50 MPH and it might change your mind... Sorry if I sounded cranky in my last post.
