Is this a trick question?

Forgot a major player. 3/4 helmets! That's what I wear year round.

People keep telling me to get a full-face helmet, but for some reason what they show me has no front opening either...
???? No Front opening?

Did you put it on backwards?

Most of my riding is at higher speeds and I enjoy the comfort a full face provides. Dont really care to have my face peeled back by hi winds, looks like I was in a centrofuge!!
Quit looking at yourself in the mirror while riding!!!

There is no helmet law in Indiana so I generally do not wear a helmet. When I do I have a skid lid.
Heather,

Although thereis no helmet law in Indiana, you really ought to protect that pretty head! I've seen it in person (at Effingham) and it is worth protecting. Now Sean, that's a different story.

I go from a 1/2 to 3/4 to Full face modular (which I hate) as the temperature goes down. I live in a state with no helmet law but common sense and my wife dictate that I wear something.

If I had a choice, where I could only wear my full face in town, or on the interstate, I would choose in town. In my opinion, you have a much greater risk of being involved in an accident in town, than on the interstate.

Exactly right. Interesting how many people see it the other way. I try to avoid riding on surface streets as much as possible, in favor of freeways.

Probably is for an Aggie.

What helmet? This is Texas. We don't need no stinkin' helmet.
