          LMFAO. half helmets sometimes look dorkier than the fullface. Especially if you buy one of those crap *** Harley brand ones from the dealer, WILLIE G SPARKLE and MUSHROOM HEAD and all. I say go novelty if you're gonna risk your life for good looks.

          Seeing the cheeks and jowels flap in the breeze is funny looking too.

          you be you, man! who cares about anyone else. There's no helmet law here in CT, I don't even own one. This is my fourth year riding, I'm getting one this year no doubt and I've been contemplating a full face :]

          I wear a 3/4 because I just don't feel comfortable on a FF. Although when I got that damn bug in my eye today I wish I was wearing one. Yes I wear glasses. I even have those sunglasses that fit over my glasses. But it doesn't seal my eyes off. Needless to say it wasn't as fun as it sounds. With a FF that wouldn't have happen. But I survived it.

          I have nothing against any helmet really. Why should I? I don't even really notice anyone's helmet when I'm riding. I just admire whatever scoot they're on.

          Short answer? Yes.

          I see that the OP hasn't posted in over a year. This thread is 2 years old.
