Just jerking your chain, I wear a FF too, and considering a 1/2 or 3/4 though as it is HOT here in Atlanta.

RE: Helmets
I have all 3. When just cruising around locally in the summer I wear my skid lid or sometimes my 1/2 Captain America helmet. When I know I'm going to be on the freeway for awhile, or road trips, or winter I wear my full face. I don't have a windshield so the full face is a must at freeway speeds.

RE: Helmets
I have a DOT 1/2 helm and a full face. I have never wore the fullface cause I cant seem to get my glasses on under it. So I wear a 1/2 helm and googles over my glasses. I think the full face would be great on the highway but I am getting use to the winds at 70-80 now. I am sure my face looks funny though with all that wind.

I wear this. When it is cold I wear a bandana on my face & goggles.

RE: Helmets
I wear a Nolan full face with flip up chin bar and face shield most of the year and on highway trips. Because of the extreme heat in the summer I will wear a Shoei 1/2 around town.

Full face;
as far as style goes, I think full face helmets look good with a sporty- that racing heritage.
also, good leather all the time: Fox Creek jacket.
fifty years ago the guys wore what they had, but things have improved since then.
save the "biker look" for rallies and use ATGATT when riding.

RE: Helmets
I have had this old noggin for 67 years and I plan on keeping it. For all day riding and long trips I wear a Nolan N102 Modular as it is easy for me to get my glasses on. and it has a flip down sun screen. For riding around town and looking cool at the Tuesday Night Bike Night at Sonic I wear a Nolan Retro N30 With full face shield. My wife wears a Scorpion EXO200.

RE: Helmets
The only one I can stand to wear regularly is my carbon fiber skid lid.... www.carbonfiberhelmets.com
I still only wear a helmet some of the time (stupid, I know). I am working my way towards being a regular helmet wearer - if I live that long [8D]

RE: Helmets
I am pro-choice when it comes to helmets. I own a 1/2, a 3/4, and a full. I can't stand the full face, probably because it is a cheapie and restricts my peripheral vision. Most of the time I wear my 3/4 Scorpion because it is snell rated. Some times if I don't leave my small town of 2000 I wear my 1/2 helmet.
As far as being called a poser. The do-rag don't look right on me. Some people look cool with them. Dang most of the ones that would call me a poser wasn't even born yet, when I rode my first Harley. Screw them. I don't ride for them, but for me.
