This is why I wear a face shield

[earlfor]

I dodged another deer last night, but I doubt having my full face and gear would have helped a great deal if I had not zigged when the deer zagged

Beer

Riding home after work to have a beer, almost home and get my beer served in a most unbartenderly manner by some punk walking down the sidewalk right at my head while doing the 25 limit with traffic.

With 3 weeks riding experience, front brake pads starting to squeal, and downhill to intersection & metal strip connecting bridge to road, couldnt stop quick enough to confront. Others unknown youth hanging out on the parking lot tactical high ground banked over sidewalk not sure if they were his buddies had to approach with caution. Adrenaline took me & bike round block faster than ever but they gone ;( wanted to make him eat the beer can wrapped round the curb.

HJC CL15 Full helmet with face shield = waste of a 16oz Busch can had to rinse out that nasty cheap beer smell along with Joe Rocket Phoenix mesh. No effect on controlling the bike other than than extreme adrenaline anger. Riding helmetless impact wouldve hurt and beer in eyes make impossible to see.

Things fall (or get deliberately dropped) off bridges like ice chunks these kill cagers through the windshield. What happens when society continues to devolve to someone throwing acid at motorists? Or driving behind a truck with a leaking cargo of unknown chemicals into the wind 4 feet off the ground.

"The ability to avoid an accident, or survive one. Its what makes a Helmet with full face shield... a Helmet with full face shield..."

I was riding a nice set of twisties over the weekend, beautiful Sunday morning and the 850 was purring. I threw her into a corner and was just about to bring her back up and take the line into the other when I see the dreaded Guinea Hen sitting in the middle of the ****ing road. Was not going to move at all. So.....

It tasted like chicken.

The bird story was real, I just missed it, but I was glad I had my protection on.

I aim for those bastards when Im in my work truck.

Got pooped on following a cattle truck once.

Nothing major.

Just grass and water.

Alcohol abuse.

What a cheesedick. Is the golden rule really that hard to understand?

Riding in a hotel shuttle van once, dipsh:t driving it was tailgating a cattle truck the whole way.
Covered the van completely.
Hilarious.

Don't think I'd want to do that on a bike, but if I did a full face helmet would seem to be a good idea.
