    While my cousin and I were out riding in the desert we came across a small wash - I stopped in time and he didn't. He ended up breaking his jaw and loosing 6 teeth when he bit the kill switch off his handlebars. I never feel the need to wear an open face helmet no matter how hot it is. But to each his own.

    My face is not DOT approved so I wont be wearing an open face helmet on a motorcycle.

    You are crazy or super lucky to be rockin' that set-up with no repercussions! I like the race set-up that you posted in the "What's wrong with this picture" thread much better. I used to use safety glasses instead of goggles because of the fogging. Yeah, I'm a sweaty bastard...buckets of it. I switched to double pane goggle lenses and I don't have a fogging issue anymore.

    I don't even race (you do) and I've eaten rocks to the point that my beak has taken a beating because of NO coverage. Hell, Jim took a rock to his eye (cut his eyebrow) when we were riding Baja and he was wearing goggles.

    By the way, the 2nd picture doesn't look like you.
