Whew!  That would have erased the rider's nose!
I've seen chin bar damage too, that would have taken serious reconstruction before a rider could chew again.

OK, I'll say it... did you notice the Harley-Davidson sticker? You wouldn't normally see a full-face helmet on one.

My two riding mates with Harleys and will always wear full face when touring, but can't get away from black open-face for shorter day rides.

I wear a full face helmet. Safety is being pushed through the Harley shops . They have them on special at times. :thumb

The only time I have ever seen a Hardly rider wearing a full face was at the dragstrip (and that was only because they have too).
