Got clipped by a minivan last year and had a full-face on at the time. Now it's full-face all the time!

Arai RX-7 is my favorite!

I have been wearing a modular for the past three years full time. I am debating going back to a full face because they are lighter. I just am more comfortable with the full protection.

It's always good to hear a successful outcome from an accident!

I have a 1/2, 3/4, and FF modular. The coverage goes up as the temperature goes down.

No helmet law here but it makes sense to me to wear one.

i very rarely go without a helmet only when im ridin around in the campground or something like that. not to say that i wouldnt, i just dont ever make it to any states where it isnt a law. i go between my fuller 1/2 dot during summer and my scorpion full face in winter. would like to have a modular, for winter/rain but havent got it yet. there shouldnt be any mandated laws that require helmets, it should be your preference. helmets are like condoms, with or without, its sure to be one hell of a time....

I wear either my 3/4 or 1/2 helmet depending on how I feel that day. Lately my preference has been the 3/4 HJC.
