As a previous Harley drag racer, and lifelong rider, I wear a half helmet in the city and full face on the highway. I always wear a jacket, gloves and boots when riding, unless really hot out, then its a leather vest. Too many friends/racers sporting road rash scars in the name of vanity....

The recent thread (Why don't people wear helmets?) got me started thinking in a different direction. It's no secret that Harley riders are the most likely of all bikers to ride without helmets. Cruiser riders in general but Harley riders in particular. Here in Ohio I notice that it's rare to see a Harley rider wearing a helmet and when you do it's almost always a half helmet. On the other hand, I rarely ever see a sport bike rider without a full face helmet and most of them are also wearing protective clothing. Why do you suppose that is?
