I prefer to wear my super cool Spectacles/Gogles rather than Halmet. You know i am a great fan of James Bond and the way he rides a bike..., seems a bit childish but i do when in high mood.
Well i use to wear the full face one as i feel much more protected and can take a ride with full concentration....I have seen many bikers wearing the latest type of helmets..but i think the full face one is good for our safety...
When I first started riding, I bought a 3/4 helmet because I was scarred peeless to ride without my head as protected as possible. But after I started riding I found that I really HATE a helmet that covers my ears. Hell I hate a helmet PERIOD! Thank God there are still states that let you ride without them.
I do physical therapy for a living and it sucks to see fellow riders in the hospital because they were not wearing a helmet. I ride with a Shoei full face and I always will. Ride Safe
Usually I wear a 1/2 helmet this year when the rian started and I bought a HJC full face the type that the whole front opens for easy on and off. Still having problems getting use to limmited vision but nice not getting beat in the face with the rain expecially when it is cold out.
