Long Ride With Out Full Face Helmet
Well some of my friends want to ride to an other city about 2 hours away. I was hoping that my full face helmet would have arrived but it hasn't. The only helmet I have right now is a skull cap type. I'm mostly worried about getting hit in the face with a rock or something. It's happened once & it sucked. Would a bandanna covering my face help at all? Any other ideas?

2) bugs in the face at highway speeds hurt

...and protecting the brain. Ever worn a FF on the highway? It's the most comfort you can get, if it is decently vented, on the highway although it may not look "badass" enough for some image conscious riders.

I have my old full face from when I use to ride sport bikes but it stinks like sweat. Haha... I bought that helmet like 6 years ago. I got hit in the face with a bug a couple of weeks ago & it actually broke the skin. Plus there is like a 30% chance of isolated thunder storms.

I have never worn a full face helmet in the 33 years i have been riding. If you see something flying towards your head tilt your head down so it hits the top of your helmet. Wear good glasses and enjoy.
