    Fuck anyone who advocates against wearing a full-faced helmet. Fuck modular too, the kind moto cops wear that pop open… Cuz guess when they’ll unfortunately pop open?

    There’s a fortnine video advocating against wearing armor, that kevlar alone would take care of abrasion injuries etc. You know what I like when I crash? Not getting pebbles embedded into my elbow or knee flesh.

    Have fun, get there, and get old.

      When I started riding I had a BMW modular helmet, Made by Schuberth, those things do not give up. I know some of the Harley-Davidson helmets are Made in China though Scorpion. No thanks.

      I like my modular helmet that pops up. It’s pretty secure and I haven’t seen one pop open during an event. They also say they’re rated to be protective with the face up or closed.

      I unsubbed from fortnine after that, he sucks now

      But, the modular helmets are fine if ECE22.06 rated. They have steel latches
