Why I wear a full-face helmet

Guys like to talk about freedom, not feeling restrained, the thrill of the wind in their face. Me, I like to think that it's better to get startled by a big bug hitting your face shield than to have to pull over because you just took a gigantic bug in the eye. Which is what would have happened if I hadn't been wearing a full face helmet. This did make me laugh though, because my view of the ride home was through brilliantly colored bug guts.
