The point IS, Dan, that one should not chew on his fellow riders ASS about the personal decisions he makes in life!!! This is especially true if he also happens to be the forum admin. !!!
(But then YOU know that already, don't you?) :shocked:

Jeez I was just picking on the guy for contradicting himself. I didn't mean anything by it. Can we still be friends?

:chop:

I don't now who is funnier, Alan with his witty, self - deprecating humor or Easy with his pointed (sharp tongued?) jabs, but I laughed out loud at this one.

Thanks for not chewing my ass out.
I still think I know more about how asphalt tastes than you do.

Now I ride the safest way possible. I do not cut any corners when it comes to safety. As I said, I wear heavy clothes in the summer when I ride. And a new full face helmet.
To promote anything that is not as safe as possible is silly. Personal preferences??? To run an increased risk of being injured??
Go right ahead.

Chris,

One of the things I was looking for when I started this thread was some direct experience with a crash, be it low-side or high side, when one was wearing either the full or the three quarter. Did you crash with a three-quarter? Did you scrape off your front teeth or your chin? You are the only person that came down strongly in favor of the full helmet. Even my motorcycle cop soccer buddy didn't feel the full helmet was necessary (except when it is cold out [he has both.])

There's no question that there is an increased measure of risk with a 3/4 vs a full face. The question is, how much?

And as far as a blanket statement that you should ride as safely as possible, well, that would be with a full helmet on, in a rear facing baby seat in the middle of the back seat of a Volvo. Seriously, the safest way to ride a motorcycle is not to ride one at all. And, shouldn't everyone driving a car wear a helmet and a fire suit? NASCAR guys do.

Tell me about your crash. It will have the greatest impact on my thinking.

That is a great quote, that is one of the best (and most intelligent things) I have ever heard someone on this site say. Wear what you want to wear and I will wear what I want to wear, now we are getting somewhere. :plus1: :plus1: :plus1:
