Right. I should have stated that i usually do not wear a helmet .. unless its the non DOT german helmet to keep the sun off my face and back of my neck.

The halfie is what i wear in Jersey because i must have a DOT helmet. I only resort to the full face in extreme cold or rain. And really, i have figured out a way to use neoprene mask and knit hat etc .. to keep warmer, so the full face was kinda mute this winter because of that.

---------------------

I must add though, i am STILL floored that PA dropped their helmet law a few years ago. This coming from one of the most aggressive seat belt law abiding states that i know of (besides nazi new jersey). "hey we'll set up seatbelt checkpoints and ticket your ass for not being buckled in ... but have at it on your motorcycle."

Big signs posted everywhere about driving SAFE and being buckled in 'because its our LAW'. While that biker passes you doing 65 with no helmet on lol. What a f'd up message PA sends to people. Don't get me wrong, i DO like to have a choice .. but you cant enforce safety in one vehicle and not another type. If you have a choice to ride w/o a helmet (which crashing would do 1000x more damage to you than being in a car) then you should have a choice to belt up or not without being ticketed $50.

ps to pa - all that ticket money and our roads still have pot holes - maybe thats why we need our seatbelts, so we don't fly out of our seats soaring over those PA craters on the roads. :skeptical:

Hey Dupo, Arkansas is another one of those states, wear your seatbelt or the Gestapo will lock you up, but crack your head like an egg on the pavement on your motorcycle, we don't give a shit.

Here is the STUPIDEST part though, IF you are 21 and older you don't have to wear a helmet, 18-20 you do, its like the underage Drinking law, when you turn 18 you are an adult, we expect you to be responsible for yourself, to fight for your country if you are needed, but you are not responsible enough to chose whether or not to drink, or to wear a helmet on a motorcycle.

I actually had a friend of mine that that happened to once. When he was 18 he joined the National Guard, before he ever even got out of AIT school they sent him a notice telling him his unit that he wasn't even officially in yet was going to Iraq (the first time, DESERT STORM). He stayed there for about 6-7 months, when he got back, he was still only 19, he wanted to go out and celebrate, so we go to the liquor store (He wore his Dress Uniform thinking that he surely wouldn't get carded like that right, WRONG They wouldn't let him buy a damn thing.

Some freedom he was risking his life for huh??? Just some food for thought. By the way, I am in no way UN-American, I just think that some of our policies are thought up by crack-heads.

19 in a uniform and been to the sandbox. I'll buy him a drink. If the powers that be have deemed this young man old enough to take a bullet or worse then he should be old enough to have a drink. "No you can't drink but thanks for your service". Sounds kind of odd to me.

Back to the subject. Helmets and stuff. The type of helmet and whether you wear one at all is determined by the amount of risk you are willing to accept while riding. We both wear full face helmets, Lynda's is a modular, and both of us are comfy doing so. Injuries to the face occur 27 % of the time in bike related mishaps.

I agree with that assessment, and I wanted so bad to get a full face when I upgraded my helmet, but Like I said, I felt like giving up the protection of the chin guard part of a full face was better than giving up unrestricted vision.

I may regret that when I have an accident one of these days, but at least I will see it coming. :retard:
