I'm still using a 3/4 DOT approved somthing-or-other (bought a few years ago)....it was red but now since my bike is flat black I painted it with flat black charcoal grill paint-several coats (after scuffing it with sandpaper). so far it's very durable and it originally cost 49 bucks I think. BTW, I live in MO which requires a helmet...and i would use one even if it didn't....you should see some cracked up heads....other body parts will get cracked up in a crash, but nothing else tells your body how to work...except your ***** (present ladies excepted of course).

Normally, I don't wear a helmet. I will, however, wear my 3/4 if I ride in cold weather or if it is raining. I will obviously wear it if I'm in a state that requires one.

Full face for me. An LEO co-worker convinced me after he had to dig some biker's teeth out of the asphalt after a wreck. Sorry for the graphic.

Not 2/4 but 3/4. Tried a FF for a year, but it sucked. It sucked out most of my enjoyment of riding.

Don't care for them myself...thank God I live in a state that doesn't require them except under 18, and your first year riding...
wish I did

HJC Full Face for cold weather.

Vega XT 1/2 ... don't like the look or fit ... just keep around for passenger usage.

Will pick up an ACC Extended 1/2 someday.
