Evening chaps, yes I like the open face lid thing and spent approx the first three years of my biking life wearing nothing but an orange stadium open face complete with small black peak, 365 days a year riding back then (before I passed my car test) oh that "fresh air feeling"
I also now own a davida open face which is mega quality, however it have to say I'm pretty glad I was wearing my arai full face helmet when I had my accident, as once it was returned to me it is in a right state and most of the damage is across the frontal area. Visor gone, visor mounts smashed off and if I'd av been wearing. An open face , I seriously don't think I'd av much of a face left and if I did my handsome good looks
certainly wouldn't be the same. Just food for thought really I'm certainly not trying to scare monger as I realise it's an odds thing as to wether you'll ever actually NEED a helmet.
Cheers...Michael
