I like the flip face full coverage helmets. I like the HJC because it fits my fat head well and doesn't break the bank. It closes up nicely when it's cold or REALLY hot, it protects me from bugs and rocks and kept my face away from the asphalt once. It opens when I want to talk to people or enjoy the fresh air.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
