I think the poll should have included "sometimes a helmet, sometimes not", so I could vote accurately.

Long trips over the interstate I use a full face.
BeeBopping around town (where I am more likely to get whacked) I use the 1/2 helmet.

Full face all the time, Scorpion EXO-400. I'm thinking of picking up an EXO-900 modular sometime this offseason.

I'd have on a full face with a dark shield also if I was wearing on Ohio State jersey

3/4 Biltwell, in over 30 years of riding, most comfortable helmet I've ever used.

I used to wear a 1/2 helmet until i had a spinal cord injury. Now i have to wear a ff along with a leatt neck brace. The neck brace will stop me from hyper extending my neck in case of an accident (hopefully). Iv'e been riding harley's since 1970 with most of those years going helmetless. Now i have to wear this ugly setup, but i will not stop riding. To each his own, or in some cases like mine you have no choice but to wear protection.

1/2 helmet all the time, although sometimes 2/4 .

I believe in them even though it feels great riding without one. It saved my noggin this summer, when I saw the pavement comin at my left temple, I thought "oh this is gonna hurt" in that split second. When I got up I had 1 broken rib, a cracked elbow radius , a cracked wrist, and a bruised ego. Not even a hint of pain in the head or neck, the helmet had a nice scuff. I'll never ride without.
