Full helmet if I'm doing a longer ride on the highway. Need to protect the money maker!!!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #274960 backinthesaddle (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 214 Re:helmut questions 2 Years, 1 Month ago   I can't believe you wussies wear helmets, bunch of mommies boys. Oops my wife is looking over my shoulder. The one time I ride without my helmet guess who is behind me on the freeway? Yep the boss and she wasn't to happy. I have been wearing an HJC half helmet and put a snap on flip shield for rain. I road without the shield except for rain. I picked up a 3/4 HJC cl33 on CL and I really like this. This will be my regular helmet for now.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #274980 javawave (User) Over 17235 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5710 Re:helmut questions 2 Years, 1 Month ago     Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #274989 Carmenuchi7 (User) It is what it is Senior Boarder Posts: 201 Re:helmut questions 2 Years, 1 Month ago   I wear a 1/2 helmet, I like the vision and all but lately I feel like I really should have a full face. I think about my wife and kids riding and for safety no doubt I would want them to wear full face. Why shouldn't I make the same consideration for myself? I may soon sacrifice a little creature comfort for some additional piece of mind (no pun intended ).   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/04/18 21:59 By Carmenuchi7.   ...I am just sayin...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #274994 Emu@Oz (User) Emu Says Platinum Boarder Posts: 2084 Re:helmut questions 2 Years, 1 Month ago   Wife and I both have Nolan 'flip' helmets. These have two visors (clear and tinted). I find on a hot day or when in traffic I tend to flip the front section up and ride open face but when it's raining, on long ride or cold conditions I ride with 'full face'. We don't have much option in Oz. Law requires an Australian Standards approved helmet. So open face or full face is about all you can choose from, ... or go with flip helmet and get the best of both worlds   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #274997 BadBikerBob (User) "Ride your Roadie like a Rice Rocket!" Expert Boarder Posts: 404 Re:helmut questions 2 Years, 1 Month ago   I wear an HJC Racer II 3/4 helmet w/ a cheap plastic shield on cold and/or rainy days. It's one of the few open-faced helmets that are Snell 2000 certified & is very comfortable on my large, oddly-shaped noggin!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #275093 dwbrant (User) 2001 Roadie Midnight Fresh Boarder Posts: 49 Re:helmut questions 2 Years, 1 Month ago   I use a Nolan N100E modular; I've had it for ten years now, and besides repainting and replacing face shields the thing's lasted all this time. I use it all the time. Can't remember where, but I saw a series of photos of a guy who landed on his chin while riding his bicycle around a parking lot ... not pretty. My chin ain't so pretty right now but I'd prefer to keep it The modular because I wear glasses and just don't like having to squeeze them into when I have a fullface on.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #275105 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1948 Re:helmut questions 2 Years, 1 Month ago   I use a modular helmet, particularly for high-speed intestate travel where there are more cagers being brave (read "careless"around me.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #275108 TVoso (User) God moves mountians. Faith and prayer moves God. Expert Boarder Posts: 532 Re:helmut questions 2 Years, 1 Month ago   I talked with someone that rode back roads, they told me about their meeting with a deer that tried to jump OVER the bike and landed on the gas tank. Deer, Bike and ride all went down. The State of Illinois bought the helmet (Full face) to use as an object lesson. Had that been me with my Half Helmet . . well let's just say I would be as 'pretty' as I am. I, too, ride a lot of back roads and with this bought a HJC FS-15 Carbon Fiber full face and I love it! On the warmer days, take out the cheek pads and you really get a lot of air flow. AND it will extend my riding year. Here's to you Tim   Logged     Keep the rubber down and the shiny side up!
