[Way]

I was going to skip the windshield at first so I bought a full face helmet. I think it's money well spent in any event for the reasons you mention as well as protection should anything happen. I've only ever ridden dirt bikes years back but that's slower and softer. I'm basically going to commute with this bike as I've got a 60 mile round trip to work. I also work graveyard shift, drive through a large swampy area with moose, deer, lions tigers and bears etc. :roll: Hopefully not too many dirt/rock/lumber trucks to deal with. The drive back in the morning should be awesome though. Sheer drop-offs on either side sounds interesting though.
