Do full face helmets look OK on Harley riders?

Question

To me it looks out of place but what do you think?

Answer 1

Safety equipment has a job to do, what kind of ninny is going to take the corny Fonzie look more seriously than choosing the best safety equipment?   Sorry I forgot we are talking about harley riders.  Well half of all bikers have below average intelligence.  And they are probably wearing a beanie helmet and riding on a Harley.

We are all grown-ups and live in a free country.  You pay your money and take your chances.  When I do wear a helmet it is a real helmet and not just a motorcycle hat.

Answer 2

Does scraping your face off when you crash look better?

Dress for the crash first, and the ride second.

Answer 3

They look fine. Some people don't like them. I ride all the time with a full face helmets. Why? I don't like bugs hitting me in the face or even being stung by a bee. It's happened before. Better safe then sorry.

Answer 4

They look better than brains smeared down the highway.

Answer 5

I think full face helmets look fine on any bike. That's all I wear and I prefer to see other people wearing those, too. However, that could just be because I'm not in favor of seeing peoples' faces shredded on the concrete. :) If you're asking because you're looking to buy then a full face helmet is what I would suggest. :)

Answer 6

Ask your self this : " would your chin look OK with out a full face ? "

Sorry to be blunt, but have been in too many A & E wards and seen " soft " bikers who like to pose.......... and bleed.

Answer 7

Anyone with a Harley looks and probably acts like a low life.

Answer 8

It looks VERY out of place. Full helmets like that are for speed while Harley riders cruise. It also gets hot and stuffy in a full face helmet and traditional bikes are comfort cruisers. It looks very odd to see a full helmet on a harley....

Answer 9

No.

Answer 10

It saved my life.

Answer 11

Your question shows that your priorities are off. What it looks like has nothing to do with the actual purpose of a helmet: to protect your head and the brain inside of it.

Those who do not wear full face helmets take a risk of damage to their faces and even brains. Depending upon how you land in a crash, you are not likely to hit the top of your head only.

I know a few folks who broke their jaws (at least they were still there!) and had to have them wired shut to heal.
