I got tagged by a car and thrown off my 1200 Sporty at around 25MPH while wearing a 3/4 face back in '98. I was VERY lucky as my face was untouched and the gouges in the helmet were in those lower percentage areas. Still, I was hauled away on a backboard with a shoulder contusion, sprained ankle and needed some stitches in my side.
Nowadays I wear modular helmets but once in a while I'll wear a Retro Bell 500 open face with goggles when taking my vintage CB's to a local cruise night. As far the rest of the gear I'm always wearing either textile or mesh. So many great choices for protective gear these days....still shocks me how most of the cruiser crowd still rides in jeans, t-shirts and skid lids
