What do you wear on your head while riding? - Page 2 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

**Clint** · 04-24-2006, 03:48 PM

I'd rather you choose which one best suits the majority of your riding. Not voting in either sport or cruiser won't change the balance of the stats, only the total numbers.

CManT1914 · 04-24-2006, 06:15 PM

Full face all the time. I've ridden around the block twice without it, and will never do that again.

TaterDog · 04-24-2006, 06:21 PM

3/4 all the time with safety glasses and w/s.

palanon · 04-24-2006, 06:24 PM

full face. Have a dimple in my chin, wife likes it. Since it's one of only a few thing's on me she like's, I guess i'll try to keep it.

DS06C50T · 04-24-2006, 06:34 PM

Full face, but I wouldn't mind getting a full face that the front flips up so I don't have to take my glasses on and off every time to get the helmet on/off.

Things I'd like to have known BEFORE I bought the helmet I bought.... Doh!

Cheers,
Daryl

3/4 Helmet W/ shield

QuacktheDuck · 04-25-2006, 01:15 AM

bandana...woo hoo!

heh heh covered by a full face...the bandana keeps my hair in shape so i don't get as bad a case of helmet hair when i get to the office in the morning. i really could care less about how my hair looks when i get home

though i do have a 3/4 helmet i will prolly wear in summer like i did last summer if the temps are too hot. i don't go on the freeway with the 3/4 though...did once, ugh...never again.

GIXXER-Mike · 04-25-2006, 01:49 AM

Full-face...always!

blkronin · 04-25-2006, 09:35 AM

Wouldn' go anywhere without a full face.

DanFHiggins · 04-25-2006, 03:37 PM

Full Face all the time. Like that lower jaw!

stevie c · 04-25-2006, 07:22 PM

Always wear a helmet, and always full face.

Mavman · 04-25-2006, 07:38 PM

Fullface here also.

**Clint** · 04-25-2006, 09:36 PM

So, now that we have a data set to analyze... what's with the 3/4 helmets on you cruiser guys? You like scars on your chins? Seriously, I don't know what the advantage is because I've never owned one.

GIXXER-Mike · 04-25-2006, 09:40 PM

No helmet under any circumstance is quite scary!

blackie1491 · 04-25-2006, 11:56 PM

I gave up on my full face helmets, after breaking my 3rd pair of glasses.

Silver_ray68 · 04-26-2006, 12:00 AM

<--------The one grumpy bear is wearing + goggles on longer higway runs.

Dwayne Hicks · 04-26-2006, 02:12 PM

I have a full face. But I was wondering - is my bike a sportbike? I suppose, there was no option for "crappy commuter"....

92Notch · 04-26-2006, 02:22 PM

Full Face HJC AC-11 here

SVZuki · 04-28-2006, 08:29 AM

Myself and my girl both wear full face. If it is nippy I will wear a dewrag under the helmet or a pair of women's underwear.

We have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, its dark and we're wearing sunglasses. Hey, psycho, we're not getting back together. Now get out of my Van Halen t-shirt before you jinx the band and they break up.
