Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

+1 for Davida Jet. I know they're safer, but full face helmets make me feel claustrophobic. I used to have a Schuberth J1, which is kind of half and half, with a funky chin bar like a US Football helmet. It was awesome quality and with the tinted visor down you could pretend to be Judge Dredd.

Open face helmets need to come with a warning sticker though. At 70 mph, bumble bees really fucking hurt!

And rain is the death. 70mph hour rain to the lips, enough top make you greet.

Don't crash.

Have you chaps ridden without a helmet?

A little bit. I used to work in a retail park and at lunchtime would ride from the end I worked at to the other end to get food etc.
Nice feeling, free and airy and makes you feel like a bad ass but I always thought my bike sounded shit when I did it. Need a helmet to cut out the horrible whitish mechanical noise and let you appreciate your exhaust.
