Helmet question....
What kind of helmet do you wear? I see lots of people out on the road with 1/2 helmets. I grew up riding dirt bikes and always wore a full helmet with a visor. I guess the more coverage the safer? I tried a few 1/2 helmets and they were more comfortable.

I have a full face and a 3/4 both by BELL. My 3/4 helmet is pretty low profile on my head and i love it. Its a Bell custom 500 if you want to look it up and do a little research. I can't ride with a Half Helmet here while im stationed in Germany.

I use a Daytona 3/4 DOT approved helmet which is pretty low profile. I started out using a 1/2 helmet but feel a little more comfortable with extra coverage on my head that the 3/4 helmet offers.

1/2 from leather-up, 3/4 from HD & a Bell FF. All are comfortable and which one I use depends on how I feel.

I currently use a full face modular Harley re-branded HJC helmet. Its Ok. Ive been looking at a Bell Revolver Evo though lately. Might pick one of those up soon.
I prefer having a full face just because it keeps my eyes from drying out. I wear contacts so the wind really gets at my eyes without good protection.
