WEAR FULL GEAR MY FRIEND 
I also wear a full face helmet and often my HA bugs the dang hell out of me so I take it off then put helmet on. But, its possible to wear it - turn volume down so no "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeee"
A full face helmet will also prevent flying debris from hitting you in the face as you travel 80 mph down a highway.
Get a leather jacket and tough durable PANTS - if you drop bike and slide with shorts, flip flops and t shirt, you will have road rash scars for life.
FULL GEAR ..... I cannot stress that enough.
Do you know why new riders are called "Squids"?
Because that is what they look like after a motorcycle accident ... I will not describe it - its gross.
don't mean to scare you ... its just a word of caution. |
LOL HA in helmet do feedbacks but not CI.
I totally agree with you about full head helmet.
Because if you are riding in highway at 70mph. If anyone wear 1/2 helmet or just none (wearing leather "harley" skullcap), I wish them a reall reaalllyy goood luck with them and pray for their survival. They'll get splat by bugs and have goo all over their face. Hit by birds flyby them. They will have broken cheek or chin by kicked or dropped rocks or objects on road bouncing to cyclist direction.
One story on other blog "Sportster blog" that a guy who wore 1/2 helmet and he got splat by big grasshopper and it hurts like dicken. It's goo got into his nose, eye and all over the cheek. He pulled over and nursing his face in pain. He had broken chin by rock fell from the truck. He advise EVERY riders to wear FULL helmet for protection. He doesn't want anyone experiencing same what he had.
Hope riders listening.
