I wear one when I'm offroading because trees, low branches, big rocks and treestumps.
I don't wear one on the road because I get too fecking hot as it is without putting a hat on. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

I headbutted a tree when I misjudged my braking point on a dowhhill rocky bridleway. Was quite fortunate that i wore my helmet, otherwise I would have probably needed a few dozen stitches on my crown!
On the road, despite some 40mph + descents on the cotswolds trail, I never bother! ____________________ The Tot 2007 Yamaha R1 4C8 2002 Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer &

Always.
Guy at work was taken out by white van man while he was doing a TT. Three months off work, concussed, cracked vertebrae, broken ribs etc. bike totalled. When the doctor showed him his lid, he was pleased as it looked wearable. Until the doc turned it round to show him the impact side. It was mashed. Without it, he woulda been deader than dead...

I wear one when offroad, messed my face up pretty badly when I landed from a jump straight onto my head.
Helmet was deformed, I only had a headache for a few hours afterwards. Lots of rash on my face, fortunately all my teeth stayed in.
I now have a full facer for the more lairy off road stuff. ____________________ My Flickr |
