Full Crash
If I crash in my half helmet and rip my face off, will I wish I was less afraid to wear a full face helmet?
I mean will I still be a macho man and will I get points from my peers for being so tough the disfiguration will be worth it?
Mate..
I broke my front teeth because I used to wear an open faced helmet.. Bit the fuel tank. It hurt like .... and all my mates could do was roll around on the floor laughing, and nobody thought to call an ambulance because they all thought it was funny..
The dentist did a good job fixing me up, but I now ride with a full helmet... I wish I had done before, 'cos nobody gives a .... because I have a full faced helmet, and nobody thought I was cool when I broke my face.. So I broke myself for nothing... No matcho points, no girlies thinking I'm ultra cool, just me so called mates wetting themselves and saying "tol' you so!".
Oh yeah.. You wanna know if the girlies love it? Mine left me because of it.
If you're bothered about the looks, get a helmet where the chin guard goes up, over and back, then when you stop to natter with your mates, you can swing it outta the way.
