I'm glad I stumbled on this thread. I am not riding yet so I'm still considering the gear to buy. I was going to get a 3/4 to be cool at the sacrifice of comfort and protection. (Here in the UK there is no danger of getting too warm in a FF)
Now I've read this I'll be getting a FF I don't like bugs in my face and I do like my chin. Thanks guys n gals.

 

I wear a full face on my girl bike every time. Do you know who cares? Idk because I don't ask and idc if they care. Do you know who cares when I fall and it effects me adversely? My family and I. Nobody else gives a ****. So, I don't care what anyone thinks when I wear a full face.

 

I just bought a FF that fit my personality - so it is as much a part of me as my tattoos and attitude.

 

I wear an Hjc IS-33. Its a 3/4 with a flip up shield. I have been riding since 1958 and havn't crashed yet so I don't worry about it, not that I ever did.

 

Nice collection of interesting vehicles in your sig

 

Clearly personal choice and I'm all for that - whatever anyone chooses in this thread is fine by me - we're all bikers and that's what counts. I have a FF for the colder days but mainly wear a Matt black 3/4 with shades.

But a question if I may...

What style FF lid goes with the 48 style of bike ?

Obviously not a garish brightly coloured race style Arai.....

 

Black Arai or Shoei works great. They have matte finishes too.

 

If I'm on a long trip I wear a full face, if I'm around town and it's hot, like today 102 degrees I'll wear my half helmet. Your head ,your choice don't pay any attention to others.

 

Thanks the TVR belongs to my other half, we're in to anything old, I'm currently rebuilding the Amazon and the Merc is the old faithful for when everything else breaks down and to chuck the dog in and cycle racks on. I don't believe in multi purpose

 

Well in nice weather I wear an open face with shades, but this has always been with the luxury of a screen in front of me. When riding on the Harley without a screen and wearing an open face, i find grit and dust stings and the occasional small stone hitting me in the face slightly annoying.

Today I tried riding with a FF and on the highway it was nicer, but in town I missed wearing a HF. So maybe its flip up visor time? I dont particlarly care for the look of these but it may well serve a purpose. At £17 delievered its not going to be an expensive mistake and a cheap way to find out how I get along with one.
