Question for the non-helmet wearers/half-helmet wearers

Way back in the days when I was young and motorcycling was about riding around town a bit then parked and posed at the corners, I didn't wear a helmet while I was on my Kawi EX500 and when I got the Harley, I went with the "in" helmet which was some sort of Nazi-style coak scuttle helmet.

I could not imagine riding like I do now without a full face or a flip-up. Yeah, the amount of bugs, especially the big ones that snap your head back, gravels, rocks and other debris that get kicked up on the highway...the brother ain't goin' back to the other stuff.
