I wear a white full-face Arai helmet on a black RK Police Model. I part the seas of traffic because all the cagers think I'm a cop. Cracks me up.
I know we've all got our war stories, but in 2002 I had a high speed crash on the highway which ripped some wicked gouges in the chin bar/area of my old Arai helmet.
I know I'm not the prettiest thing going, but I would have been hella ugly or dead or worse, half-dead, with anything less, and missed out on years of riding.
I remember my co-worker who came to see me in the ER holding that helmet and saying aloud, "OMG, that would have been your face!"
Ride safe all,

If I had to wear a full face, especially on a Harley, I wouldn't ride. But that is just me. I can barely stand to wear any helmet at all, except on a long trip.

I'm no safety **** here.
One of the safest guys I ever knew - no motorcycles, no fast driving, no nothing, etc - died a few years back from some freakish, out-of-the-blue, 1/1,000,000 degenerative nerve disease that the doctors still can't explain.
Ain't no guarantee no matter what you do!

Bless your heart, you were able to go for a two hour ride. My bike is under a cover in the cornor of the garage with a battery tender hooked to it. It is currently 20 F and we are in blizzard conditions. First there was ice now the wind and snow is horrible. Very unusual here in Oklahoma, I would love to been able to go for a ride. Merry Christmas....

I like the Arai Ram in hot weather.
In cooler weather I use the Schuberth C3 flip up.
