I`d never be without a windshield...ever.
Good morning folks, it`s a very nice TGIF around here.

Morris, do you not have a full faced helmet?

Granted my enduro doesnt go as fast as your bike does, but when I take it on the highway, I never feel that I need a windshield, and the full faced helmet seems to work!

No rain in site here so far,which is abit strange as it`s a long weekend.
With my glasses using a full faced helmet is a real pain for me so I much prefer having a windshield. It`s a quick detach but I doubt it`ll ever come off.
So the third rock is dry Tim.......

I have glasses as well Morris, and I bought a helmet from proline, and it works great! I use mine for snowmobiling and biking, and my glasses never get in the way. The one I bought is really nice to use.

I really need to get myself a better helmet for my bike. Mine is one of those cheap-o HJC helmets that just has the visor that flips up...

The bloody components that make up the stuff that holds the visor are all plastic. This includes the screws to hold it in place!

Biggest waste of $150 I've ever spent for the safety and comfort it's supposed to provide.

I really need to get one of those brain buckets that lifts the whole face shield when it goes up, instead of just the visor...

I haven`t tried many but the ones I did I couldn't get the helmet on wearing my glasses and once the helmet was on I couldn't get my glasses on. Maybe it`s cause I have a big melon.
Also I find that a windshield deflects at least some of the the wind away from me tho not near as good as a fairing.
It was hard to find a good fitting helmet but I managed to find one that fits good and feels quite comfortable.

I've got a shoei RF1000. Its an expensive lid, but highly rated. On a sport bike, its best to go with the ultimate in protection!!

If all goes through with the HD plans, I will be sporting a German Army style helmet. Open faced, simple lid. I'll be keeping my full faced always though, as its good to have, and a very good chance I'll come upon a sport bike again some day.

I wish I could have gone to the lake this long weekend! At home all weekend doing yard work. We have been in this house for a year now so I guess it's time to get the yard done. The little guy turned one this past week and he will need some room to run around!
