I agree with that assessment, and I wanted so bad to get a full face when I upgraded my helmet, but Like I said, I felt like giving up the protection of the chin guard part of a full face was better than giving up unrestricted vision.

I may regret that when I have an accident one of these days, but at least I will see it coming. :retard:
