At least I won't need someone holding my junk to take a **** for the rest of a pathetic life riding nothing but a wheelchair!

The Schuberth is one of the quietest helmets on the market, so wind noise is not an issue. I still wear earplugs. Most of all, it's comfortable, so I don't mind wearing it. Comfort is the most important feature of your helmet, otherwise you won't wanna wear it and will be tempted to go without.

Tried wearing my half helmet on the LRS; didn't work well. Now I wear my Arai full face:



Wear half helmet when riding my UC locally; full face when distance riding.

That seems to be pretty common. I do the same.

99% of the time I'm wearing my full face Scorpion EXO-T1200. I love it!

With a cruiser helmet around town I would say it's looks 1, comfort 2 and safety 3. Same with clothes too. Those who ride full face on a Harley around town, watch out for the fashion police. On a run, different rules come into play. In the UK HD is about style a lot of the time. I guess in the States, there are far more practical guys riding Harleys. Over here it would appear 80 or 90% ride open face.

I see more a more guys wearing full faces over here. It's no where near the majority, but with the club style Dynas the full face is the norm.

There are a lot of Harleys but very, very few Dynas where I live. The vast majority of the Harley riders here are in half helmets or naked. I suspect if we had a similar poll in the touring section we'd see a skew that direction. Dyna riders seem younger, a bit less traditional, and more performance oriented.

I've been using the Akoury AK-88 half helmet almost exclusively since I got it. I need to get used to wearing the modular again when on long rides though.

I have 2 FF, one 3/4 and one 1/2.

I mostly use the dual sport FF one now. Lots of airflow, I like that the mouthpiece lets lots in. I had to take the visor off, talk about making your head snap back at highway speeds.
