I have half and full face (modular) helmets, I don't care for the non modular full face.

I can wear my glasses with both, it just changed the way you put them on. It's just a function of spreading the side out as you come over your ears anyway, it's not a problem at all.

You can also get full face helmets with sun shades built in that drop down with the flip of a lever, BT setup, speakers, mic, so you can hook to your smart phone to make, take calls, listen to music or GPS instructions..

These guys are in Daytona, sell a ton of helmets online and locally, good to deal with, will answer any questions you have.

<standby. Resizing. That was way bigger than intended>

Its a terrible picture, but we didn't have great cell phone cameras back then. This was my first solo road trip to the coast. It was an awesome trip and I had a blast. I wouldn't do it again on that bike as a dare. That bike was AWESOME for about two hours at a stretch. Not terribly comfortable after that. Honestly, I'd have kept it if it wasn't for the electrical system shorting out on the Natchez Trace and leaving me stranded for several hours. I fixed it and traded it soon after. Just didn't trust it any more. There's a long story there, but the short version is it wasn't the bikes fault and I refused to do business with a local shop for years afterwards.

Is it too late to advise you that you need a new motorcycle gun, new gun belt, and new holster

I am 62 y.o. now and would like a bike again, for out here in wide open rural roads, but a man has got to know his limitations. I know for a fact that it wouldn't be long before I would want to be taking it in to the big city. And that would not be a good thing. Way to many distracted drivers. Be sure and share your fun with us when you wheels on.

Riding in the big city is no fun bendable. Too many idiots who won’t see you and will pull out infront of you and too much traffic and stoplights. Riding country roads is as good as it gets. City riding is overrated.
