When we were kids no one ever talked about skin cancer. Wish they had warned me. Remember the Fl. Crew's first trip to Key West? I had just had that big one removed from my face just under my eye. Swollen and a black eye. That was a sore trip because that helmet pressure and wind did not feel too good. That is why you always see me riding with long sleeve shirt and gloves.

+1 MJ. Growing up in the S FL we lived in the sun and were always out on the water. Nobody was worried or knew much about sun and the big C back then.

I had to have surgery on my face again this week to have another squamous cell cut out. Sun exposure is one of the reasons you're more likely to me me wearing my 3/4 helmet & face shield these days instead of my preferred skid lid.

I have some in the same place cHarley! Right at the hair line except on the left side. I need to have that one removed along with some on my chest and shoulders. Plus on the helmet! I use my 3/4.
