At least yours was only $35! The hubs and I are currently out a few hundred bucks until the credit card company gets our money back.

I got an email the night before we were suppose to fly home. LUCKILY I got the email right after they sent it so we were able to get tickets...although I had to take another day off work (boohoo I am really sad...)

Anyway...my drunk ass is rambling...........................

[NONE_too_SOFT]

yea ffs i got the same e-mai. something like

because of the rising cost of jet fuel and because we fuck japanese whores every night while swimming in caviar... blah blah blah. we're bankrupt... blah blah blah... dig us out of this hole.

almost ruined my weekend. luckily it started off with a bang.

I wear half and full face helmets. fullface always on the gsxr and depending where i go on the harley ill bring the appropriate helmet. if im just commuting or going to a friend's house ill wear half. if i know im going interstate riding ill bring full. definitely for comfort. i have taken big bugs to the face and it sucks. I usually carry a handkerchief to tie over my face incase that its needed.

add: i always wear a helmet though, never without one even if its a half.

I always found the ones with the helmets that are almost full face but dont' have a front "Chin Gaurd". To me that's the dumbest. Because someone not wearing a helmet is probably going for comfort or just doesn't care. Hell they are a rebel(Not smart but a rebel). Someone wearing a salad bowl on their head is a Harley rider and going for an image which is understandable(Plus the $200 in stickers adds for impact protection). But someone with the "Almost" full face seems odd to me. It doesn't look cool and everytime I see one I think of a quote from "True Lies" which is so true.

Arnold's daughter is about to hop on a bike with her boyfriend and puts on of those helmets on. And a guy comes in and says "Maan, I remember the first time I was shot out of a cannon".

Because hell if you are going that far why no protect your chin and face(The most likely part to contact the ground in a crash)?

Anyways yeah the bug thing bugs me. I can't ride with my visor up in the summer time(May leave it up if below 20-30mph.) I did to have it up when I rode the Cherohala "Fogway" last week at 8am and coudn't see 10ft in front of me due to me driving in a cloud.

Some real nice riding between Athens and Columbus...

I've ridden dirt bike and ATV's w/o a helmet... bugs hurt, but ya just deal I guess.
Unless it's a quick around the block or something, I have my full face on the bikes.
