I have been a full face guy for well over a decade but have toyed with the idea of a modular. I have never had a motorcycle with a wind screen of any sort so a full face made the most sense to me for nothing other than eye protection not to mention if you crash. I guess I looked out of place on my Harley with a Full face but ask me if I care? I dont and I didnt.
Back in the 80s we wore 3/4 helmets and safety never crossed my mind. Eye protection is a big deal to me and I got tired of getting hit in the head and face by june bugs at 60 mph. That alone is the reason for me to wear a full face today along with the added protection if you crash.
I am not preaching to anybody. Most of my riding buddies wear nothing and I am good with that. Its their choice and they are big boys and know the risks. I am just glad we have a choice here in certain states.
Edit: In Kentucky we dont have any helmet laws and most of folks you see are wearing nothing. I would say its probably half and half. I wear my brain bucket 100 percent of the time with no exceptions. Its a good habit I have got into just like putting my seat belt on imo.
