I love a good 3/4s but wear a full face for the protection. Broken arms n such will heal. Broken faces are never the same.
I got tired of eatting bugs n them big brown beetles hurt.
The odd rock thrown up off the road dont feel to good either.
Bout time for a new shield from all the lil pits n nicks.
Id been wearing a beanie/brain bucket last summer when i got side swiped id of had some SERIOUS head injuries. Or Dead.
Bike was an easy fix.....once the d@mn insurance company let me work on it.
Lower left side of my head/helmet contacted the road hard enough to embed gravel in the back of the helmet. Had headaches for weeks afterwards anyways.
