  2. Helmet opinions

    I do think the colors help drivers see ya so I'm a bit hesitant to buy stuff that's all one color. Even though I look weird with my kawi jacket on I have no doubt that people can see me better because of it.

    I'm going to check those halfies out today :)

    I could keep the HJC and go with a 3/4 or 1/2 lid...it's one of those things - if I crash and eat it, it'll be my fault for not wearing a full face. But I kinda don't care - I'm not into living in fear of what might happen. I'm 39, single (twice divorced), no kids - nothin' but debt :) I figure the way I've lived, a 1/2 lid would suit me just right when the weather is right.

    Actually when I crashed my head was the only thing that didn't touch the pavement. And I slid behind the bike like superman for about 10-15 feet!

    Still, that doesn't mean it can't happen again and that next time that part of my face would be exposed.

    Think I'll buy the jacket first since its more expensive, then get a solid color full face.

    Black leather jacket' date=' black gloves, black full-face helmet, tinted shield. Trust me.[/quote']

    You buy the type with the reinforced shoulders/arms/back? That's one thing I like about my kawi jacket - and when I did crash my shoulder took one hell of a shot. It was a fieldsheer jacket, but that reinforced shoulder save me a lot of pain.

    Yea, I've been thinking about just getting a solid color full face too. I have taken a few rocks on the road in my full face and thought "man, that would've hurt if I didn't have my lid on"

    Meh, might be time to put the Yikes III up for a few dollars and buy a full face solid color lid instead.

    I just got the cruiser and all my current gear is sportbike in style.

    I'm considering switching up to a 3/4 open face - I mean, I'm not exactly tearing up the roads on my vulcan, and for some reason I just don't feel right on my cruiser with a full face.

    Same for my jacket - kawi sportbike jacket.

    Guessing I need to buy a leather jacket at a minimum, but I don't know much about 3/4 helmets. Anyone here ride a cruiser and go with less than a full face? What are some considerations for a 3/4?

    No, I'm no squid! But I look like a sportbike rider on a cruiser LOL

    We seriously need to organize a big ass ride onto the capital building or something - call all the media and tell them we're pissed off about our lives not being taken seriously by dumbass judges...slow traffic down for a couple of hours..

    I don't know...just seems so wrong. And after the family plead with the judge to not grant the parole...how fucked up is that.
