i really dont understand the people that buy open faced helmets,they wont protect your face when you go down,one wreck with an open face and your face will look like a mask!...helmets arent a fashion show they are to try to save your life...i know alot about wrecking expensive helmets since ive crashed alot over the years on road bikes,motards,mx since i race all of them,and got lots of demos on what happens in wrecks,enjoy and seriously concider a good full face,i just cringe when i see harley riders here in az riding with no jacket,and no helmet,theres no way in hell i would ride in this state w/o protective gear!i cant even wear regular jeans or shoes,must wear a good kelvar jean and boots,be safe guys and wear your gear!
I totally agree, however if you are in a serious wreck and need CPR a full non-flip face may need to be cut off the face of the injured person resulting in face lacerations. Any helmet is better than no helmet, if I traveled more I would invest in a quality flip face
Heres a bell I picked up cheap at a local mc swap meet. It had a tribal design so I sprayed it with a rattle can. I know.... sucky picture (cropped from a group shot)
Wears almost like a 3/4 but looks almost like a 1/2.
I really like he detachable mask. The Savannah seaport has hundreds, if not thousands of trucks coming and going every day. I ride right through their traffic daily and the mask keeps the rocks and dirt out of my face.
