This like an oil/tire/battery thread.   :grin:  Here's a thought.  Do your ride faster with a FF helmet on?   :embarrassed:

My 74 has had a long life and I try to be kind to her, so I dont go above 70ish, no matter what kind of gear I'm wearing.  :laugh:

When I ride my '75 w/hack.  No helmet.  50mph tops and around town.  Higher visibility and I have very loud horns.
From the Deep Deep South out in left field.  There are no stupid questions.  There are however stupid people asking questions.  🤣, this includes me.  😉

I do like having a lid on at all times, but again, that's just a personal choice. Probably because I grew up in a motorcycling family, and everyone always wore a helmet. I have my 3/4 for highway trips, and a half shell that I use for going around town.

I hardly wear my FF.  The 3/4 has the same time usage.  A 1/2 gets more use of the 3.  Motorcycling family too.  Knowing my weakness, more helmet protection the faster I ride.
