Bonneville America Forums Forums Rider Safety Forums Riding Technique why i wear a full face helmet

I used to wear a half helmet. That ended one day when I actually saw the bug coming that hit my face. It looked like a dad gum turkey. Anyway, it hit me right on the cheek bone just below the glasses. It hit me so hard and splattered so much that it almost blinded me and knocked me off the bike. Plus it put a pretty good cut on my cheek. I rode straight to a shop, threw the half helmet away and bought a 3/4 with a face shield. I have never regretted that decision. I like it even more every time I come home from a ride and have to wipe all the bugs off the face shield that would have otherwise ended up on my face.
