What bases are requiring full face helmets? I haven't been to a base that has that requirement. Try and make sure I don't go to one either.

Wow, I'm out that way all the time, but I guess I just look like suburban RUB trash, so they dont bother me.

Maybe he was saying they recommend one, because I'm not aware of any DoD policies requiring full face helmets. Although, we did have a post commander at one time, if able, would have banned bikes on post altogether. Glad he didn't have that authority.

If you are going to wear a helmet why not a dot one would you use a cheap unsafe condom because it looked cool

Really Guy.... I ride around 5000 miles a year without a helmet why should the 300 of those that are out of state be with a DOT. I personally think helmet laws are b.s. if I want to kill my self it should be my own choice. Although I do agree with the law that under 21 you should be required too espically when theres a kid on the back of your bike. Im not against DOT helmets unless there on my head!
