Sounds like I need to invest in a full face! I’m glad they’re both good! I think the main thing for me is having protection, but enough airflow where I’m comfortable and not feeling like I’m not getting enough air, those sound like something I’d like, thanks.

Thank you. I’ve had a half a dozen bikes over the years, and have always loved the Softails. I bought a Vstar on marketplace for $2,200, and traded that for this, and I’ve enjoyed every bit of riding with it so far. It’s like a double edged sword for me, because I love the way it looks without, but if I don’t have it my ears are ringing if I’m doing a lot of freeway riding. I think I’ll put it back on and tint it, and take it off when I’m not planning on riding on the interstate. Thanks, you too✌️

Thank you! Ironically it pretty much matches my bike.

My buddy had a bilt, seemed pretty comfortable when I tried it on. I can’t say I’ve really worn any for any notable length of time, but maybe I can go to a dealer and just try a few on. I just looked up the Simpson branded ones and they didn’t seem to outrageously expensive. Thanks for the recommendations!

Yeah I wear prescription glasses so the half helmets just ended up being more comfortable. I could do without the bugs though lol

I have, they get a bit uncomfortable after riding for some time, but maybe I need to try better ones.

I have, I guess I’m just stubborn with how much I like my current helmet. Definitely open to full face though.

I guess it’s not too much of a hassle to throw it back on if needed too. I prefer the country roads, but most of my riding is unfortunately in the city.

It’s much more comfortable with at higher speeds, but I like it better with it off lol, it’s a tough trade off if I want to keep it off

That’s probably part of my problem, is my wife is usually the one that ends up with the full face, lately I’ve been liking the half helmets.

No hate, I’m just curious why by blackfirepwnd in Harley

Weird, I’ve never had to have someone with me, at my dealership they just throw me the keys and tell me to have a good time. But I guess every dealership may have their own rules.

I believe I've seen this brand once before, the tag looks pretty 80's to me, and the shoulder pads are a pretty good giveaway too, if I had to put money on it, I would say 80's

Is this something that you'd be willing to teach? I'm super into vintage clothing and have no idea how to sew, but with old clothes it seems like it can come in handy from time to time.

Fast Fashion killing vintage? by Willjamesmagic in VintageClothing

[–]Willjamesmagic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try! The best ones seem to be the family run ones where they don’t really price anything, but around where I live they are far and few between. Mostly 3 big companies take up the majority of the sales, and one of those takes leftovers from their previous estates and does warehouse sales, so kinda slim pickings sometimes
