While I wear a half helmet for rides around town, I now use a full face helmet for longer rides on faster roads. About a year ago I was hit by a stone from a small car in front of me. I was easily four car lengths back. I suffered a reasonable sized gash and was quite disoriented by the event. While I like nothing more than good weather and the M3W with the wind in my face, it's evident that the wind screen affords you little protection. Spending a good amount of time in a comprehensive shop and getting a helmet that fits properly takes some of the sting out. I miss the noise, however. Even the bevel box.
