Helmets 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
I always wear a helmet. It gets a little uncomfortable in the heat but I need a face shield. I don't have a windshield on either bike because I seem to get buffetted more with them than without them. That being said, how do you guys that don't wear helmets do it? Ever time I ride, I will catch a large bug in the face shield and think, " glad i didn't catch that in the face." Then within a few minutes I'll see folks without anything blocking their face. How do ya make it without a face shield?

I caught a bug in the left nostril that must have just lifted off from a cow turd because it was disgusting and smelled just like a livestock yard. I have worn a helmet since.

I wear a fullface helmet all the time. I don't like riding w/o, makes me feel too vulnerable.

I do a half-helmet with goggles for backroads and local riding, but I also have a windshield on this bike.

Long distance and interstate speeds, I wear a full modular.
