I ride with a full-face exclusively, but I almost always have the face shield open for ventilation.  If I'm getting "sandblasted" or rained on, the face shield is down.

I wear a full face modular helmet. I also open the face shield if it is warm . Works great when it's cold. in an accident, the rider hits face first about 60% of the time. Don't want asphalt plastic surgery.

Ditto on the last 2 posts, I open the face just a bit and at slow speed it's all the way open.  I have a couple of half helmets but don't like getting pelted in the face by random stuff including large bugs, sand, small bugs and rocks.  Plus, if I do go down I want as much protection I can get.  I also happen to think it looks much better than a mushroom head.   O0

 :agree: I don't have the prettiest face in the world but after a face plant, it would look even worse. And then I would start scaring the girls away.  :-* :-*

Of Course it's dirty. It's hard to clean when the tires keep moving.

People warn you all the time about modular helmets which I wear, but I can confirm they will hold together long enough to save your noggin and protect the face. I got a small chip out of one tooth in a wreck I had 3+ years ago and that modular piece was nearly ripped off. Unconscious for 3 days but it saved by bacon. I really don't understand those that don't wear SOMETHING.

I wear a full face modular helmet year round....if the concrete and I decide we want to kiss, I want full protection to try and keep as much pretty as I can.

I agree the full faced helmets are hot as Hades in the summer.  I have to keep my visor cracked open to prevent suffocation.

The HD Stock II is for sale.  My wife apparently does not like full face helmets.  She put it on once and took it back off never to wear it again.   Its like new, size medium.   Reasonable offers accepted.  It's  $180 new and that includes tje Harley logo.

I have it listed on Craigslist for $110  but would take less.  I'll throw the logo in for free, you can resell it and get some of your money back.
