I've got a buddy who does the same thing. I'll ask you the question that I asked him. Is the road surface or sheet metal on cars softer if you hit them coming off a HD instead of a sportbike?

I wear full face becuase I think I am good looking! Crash in anything else and you won't be good looking! Not 100% kidding. I don't judge others who do not wear one or wear the almost useless little 1/2, but don't think "real riders" should pick on me for wearing full face (which they do.) Just sayin.....
