	Well, let me explain something - the road is HARD. When
     	you come home some day without any skin  then tell me
	how important it is to encase your only living body. I
	don't mean to be sarcastic, but lets face it - were only
	here once - lets have a good time.




> full face helmets cut out too much sound, to me that is UNSAFE

	The only way a full face helmet is going to cut out that
	much sound is if you are deaf.

	Lets be sure to have FACE protection. A freind of a freind
	of mine rode without a face shield. An innocent bee got 
	sucked into his helmet and he panicked and drove head on
	into a semi. This may be unlikey to happen, but it is only
	one of many reasons to protect yourself.

	Drive,
	But drive smart!
