Davida helmet opinions?

>>
The likes of Big Dave (sorry to drag you in BD) have been riding for many years, and are certainly much more skilled in road craft/bike control and more importantly, avoiding accidents than you or I as relative newcomers. An experienced rider choosing to occasionally wear an open face is different to you or I choosing to wear an open face as their chances of successfully avoiding many accidents are much greater.<<

Yeah - I've posted all that a dozen times too.
Noobs wear a full face till you know what you are doing and have some experience at risk assessment. Be aware there is greater risk.
FWIW by 21 I had been riding 15 years.

That said, dicking around town, sunday arvo cruising, experienced rider, I think they are fine.
Fast open road touring, freeways, I wear an X-spirit or a Viper.

I'm not a fan of open-face helmets myself. I prefer to keep my jaw away from road contact

But if the helmet fits comfortably

And you like it

Then go for it

Fair enough. I hope sincerely that you don't live to regret it, as you could have had a super-fandangled full face for the price of your stylish but ineffective lid.

(I just gives a shit I does...)

Bear in mind I'm a little twitchy after being assaulted by wrong-doing vehicles twice - and getting off extraordinarily lightly so I've had reason to

about what might have been...

(Not so for my poor, red motorcycles - no more red bikes. They're unlucky for me)

We all fall for style over function occasionally - 'cept most of us don't do it with safety gear

Just dinnae expect people to take any ATGATT speak from you seriously no more.

Thats a stupid thing to say about the davida helmet, I take it you've crashed with one then. You know nothing about them, nor have you ever tried them on or had a look at them in the store. Matter of fact ross, the helmet I bought fits MY head the best as well as being very stylish. It's very comfy for me, fits very snugly and just makes my head feel good.

People can take atgatt from me seriously. I don't gloss things over and i tell people to ride with full gear, you'd think i'm riding with no helmet at all. This fucking o/f fight is gonna follow me everywhere with you tools innit

.

You'd think a congrats on your new helmet would be ok. Your still my friend though...

But... we already know that if we crash test the helmet face first, then we'll get fucked up. It's called not having any facial safety protection, so it makes it kinda hard to protect the facial area!

So does a half helmet fit into the full gear equation now?

That doesn't seem to make sense.
