2)It was used by Abate of Florida to argue against helmets.
3)It does not compare FF safety vs beanie helmets at all.
It's kinda of like telling people not to wear seatbelts because 1 out of 17 accident victims would have been better off w/o the seatbelt in automobiles.

1)The study was done in Australia regarding undo force to the cranial stem if an impact to the face bar occurs with a FF helmet.

After 44 years of riding, I find myself using both. Mainly the FF in cold weather and "regular" old style helmet in the other. My stupidity for not using the safest, IMHO, all the time. At 63 I should know better. There is really no answer - Harley - Jap - European bike, I have had them all. Personal preference will prevail, after all there is still a little bit of America left and we can choose for ourselves at this point. No bets on the future though.

Yes it :-) I call it my clown car and my hubby says he has to wined it up.
But I love next to dc and my car is the size of a mini so it fits anywhere. I think it has a smaller motor than my next deluxe :-)
But it gets great gas milage and cost a lot less new (2009 I got new in 11/08) than the new 2011 deluxe I got last week.

I don't care what anyone else does and I don't care to be told what I should do. I've worn no helmet, half helmet, 3/4 and full face. By far the best riding experience for me is no helmet. A full face takes too much away from the experience. If I was commuting rather than riding for pleasure I might use a full face. That's what I used to do some 30 plus years ago.
If I wanted to be totally safe from motorcycle accidents I'd stick to a cage. Preferably a big cage.
