Do You Wear A Helmet?
Nexx was at Americade this last week. They had some interesting looking helmets.

I just went to a full -face helmet this summer and crashed my bike last week ( hit a deer ). And wouldn't you know it I landed on my face and slid that way for awhile, Doctors and Paramedics all agreed I would have been in bad shape without the full face helmet.I also where Full armor jacket and pants. So you know I believe in all the protection one can have and there is no good argument against doing so,When you look at all the product out there, road rash etc gets no sympathy from me !!!

Got to agree with you Donnie, you know it was Steve's face slide / plant < luckily in a full face helmet> that got my attention and now I always wear a full face.

Full face always but they do make some nice mesh armor jackets that would be a lot cooler Steve.

My next helmet is going to be a full face one.
Religion is something we all need to think about Mike.
