Default Would buy an open face helmet

My mate is thinking about buying ahat with the helicopter helmet look.
I thought it would look cool, and I was keen for a look until he said it wasan open face.
I would wear an open face on occasion, but no own.

Nar, it's busted, my first poll too.

I come off years ago, got treated by the dockor who caused the accident.
Two of us, I wore a full, the guy on the back had the open, usually I give him the full, but I must of hadit on when I picked him up.
He was thrown airborne, I hit the road, watching it run underneath my face, less than an inch away at 100k (60miles).

To me Open Faced = No Face, keeped my face with a full face. (I should work in advertising, if I could spell)

Him, 3 stretches in his hand, no gloves.
Me, broken shoulder.
Bike, the shop rode the CB200 on to the trailer, cool bike.

Not sure if the doctor got done for speeding, by the guy I hit got done for picking up a hitchhiker on a H'way (comming down a busy hill, buggy all space to pull over, Fcking moron)

If the screen gets hit, your face will get it, so I added the screens and chins = 44.5%, Geez. . .

I once wore an open face helmet. I got hit in the shoulder by a seagull and it nearly took me off the bike. Thinking about getting hit in the face caused me to never wear one again.
