..with a skull-cap, or whatever else, that rock woulda shatterred my teeth...

Yeah thats whats put me off so far. I like the idea of them for a nice summers day ride but i also like my teeth and chin, they come in usefull for opening beer bottles etc and i can use my chin to grow a beard on ;D

I still may get one if i see one in a sale or something and just use it on those nice days where i want a slow cruise in the sun, wouldnt want to wear one every day tho, apart from the danger aspect my full face keeps my face warm and dry on the nasty days.

sh** happens whatever so i try not to worry too much or dwell on what if scenarios. That rock wouldve went thro any helmet Zombie had on anyway.

Still like my teeth tho

At the VERY least I would have been on my ass waiting for that car to run me over...

I bought the HJC brand CS-R1 model.  It is last year's model of the CS-R2.  I like the helmet and hope you like yours!  Safe riding and best of luck on your road test!

I got a silver HJC too, cant remember the model number but its my daily use helmet for now. I like it tho it does scratch easily on the outside.
