That's funny I know how you feel. I love mine.

 

I have a 08 black RKC. Around town I use a 1/2 most of the time. On longer rides and in cooler weather full face. The rain does not stop me in a full face.
I love my bike

I have a half helmet and a full face. I usually wear the half around town and the full face for freeway riding. I used to run ambulance and have seen too many accidents where a full face would have made a huge differnce in the outcome. As for the non-DOT approved helmets - I hope you have your organ doner box checked.

 

Music sounds great on the headset in a fullface riding down the road...dry in the rain too....i wear both.

 

FF is all I own. I've worn nothing but FF since 1977. I also always wear earplugs or in ear speakers too.
One question that always comes to my mind in helmet discussion's is this. Why do people only wear the FF on longer trips and not around town? You are most likely to be involved in a crash within something like 5 miles of your home. Especially you guys that are First Responders, I would think most of you would be ATGATT with all the blood & gore you see, but I know lots who aren't.

 

I wear a shorty in the summer, but FF when it's winter or raining. I'll wear a FF for all trips out of town too.

 

I think it's all about personal choice, whats good for you might not be for me, I think that applies to all aspects of life, I should be able to make my own decisions with in the law, of what I like and the minimum gear that I'll ride with, I've been down before had the road rash ain't fun, but there's just some accidents that no matter what you had on it wouldn't matter, if it's your time it's your time JMFUO.

It's kinda like asking why put on a seat belt in a car and not a full face helmet, hell it's a race course on the freeway nowadays it seems, do you wear your full face helmet in your car if it's not required, lots of car crashes result in severe head injuries or death from such injuries.

 

I wear this quite often, especially during colder weather. The matte colors go well with the Pewter Demin paint on my bike, and the graphics generate some conversation.



Sometimes I'll wear a Bell halfer, but lately it's been the FF more often than anything else.

 

I also got away from wearing "Black" helmets too. My FF helmet is color matched to the bike (HJC Symax II in WINE - matches Red Hot Sunglow perfectly) and my shorty is Silver.

Again, I am trying not to look like everyone else, hence the choice of bike and now choice of helmets too.

I know and think that it should be a personal choice. But, statistics prove that interstate highways are the safest roadways. Most wrecks happen in town. I just wonder what someone's reasoning is to choose to wear a FF on the safest roads and not on the ones with the most crashes?
