Motorcycle Forum / General / Sportbikes / December 2005How o convince my wife so she chooses full face helmet ...
... instead of those looking like a nut-shell or aviation ones. Wait for suggestions and will forward them to her. One more thing, it would be for riding on FZ-1. Is there any way to have an intercom in the full face helmet. Cheers, A. > ... instead of those looking like a nut-shell or aviation ones. Wait for > suggestions and will forward them to her.

"I taught the MSF course at Little Creek Amphib Base in Norfolk for a couple of years. I had a disk sander. Every time someone tried to explain to me why helmets are useless, I offered to let them hold their face against the disk sander. None took me up on it." ‹ John P. Because and Because. http://www.timberwoof.com/motorcycle/faq/whyhelmet.html http://jeff.dean.home.att.net/swisher.htm (Have often wondered. Where does the Internet posting style of leaving out first-person pronouns and question marks come from. Being silly.)

I'm betting the fullface will do a better job of protecting her. > Is there any way to have an intercom in the full face helmet. Yes. > ... instead of those looking like a nut-shell or aviation ones.

Over the top I went and landed literally face first and then slid along on my face for quite a while. My full face helmet was cracked and thrashed. My face was fine. Had I worn those other style of helmets, I would have shattered my jaw, broken my cheek and nose, and done socket damage at the very least. Possible death or worse, a vegetative or brain damaged state is not out of realm of possibility rither. I don't care how good a rider you are or how careful you are. Someone else can always ruin your day. Because of my full face helmet I stood up and walked away. Without it I would have had titanium plates in my face, my jaw wired shut, and looked like a freak for the rest of my life as a best case scenario. >... instead of those looking like a nut-shell or aviation ones.

So there is a progress here Mr. Troy. You overlooked the fact that beginner is carrying passenger on FZ-1 :-). A. >>... instead of those looking like a nut-shell or aviation ones.

As a matter of fact she prefers to ride without the helmet :-). We all are squid generation, did not you know about that. At least from alt.motorcycle.sportbike elite point of view. Seriously, we did not talk about that yet - we are going to buy something for spring. A. >>>... instead of those looking like a nut-shell or aviation ones.

People should make the decision based on the data and whether a risk is worth it to them. We all do personal risk asessments, for some things are worth it that are not to others. I am a firm believer in personal responsibility and personal accuntability. If she does not wish to ride with a helmet that his her choice as an adult and I will fully support it. I will be wearing my full face helmet though. -J > I am not concerned to tell you the truth.

I will be wearing my full face helmet though. Sorry for being sarcastic before, but I just see a lot of bashing for people liking 600cc bikes. Interestingly, when I was researching the type of two wheels for myself including FZ-1 and Bandit 1200S, I was quite welcomed. Anyway, I am a capitan of my FZ-1 and want my passengers to wear the full face helmets. I am just looking around for some good arguments. Cheers, A. >> I am not concerned to tell you the truth.

Best argument I got is my face and the fact that I still have it. -J This is why. http://jeff.dean.home.att.net/swisher.htm > Best argument I got is my face and the fact that I still have it. Yes, that is a distinct advantage. I would never want to donate my face to the highway department.

Passenger face smashing into the riders helmet is a good one! One good quick squeeze of the right hand should do it!

I always believe if one wears a helmet, the passenger should also. I will not take a non-helmeted passenger if I have a helmet on (wich is almost always). They can walk...
