Bobble hat, chainsaw mask and sunglasses. That would look scarey, especially if you had an axe mounted on the rollbar. Even scarier, a teletubby
mask.

Sorry to go all budget crazy, but how does the price of a helmet compare to the price of an aeroscreen guys?
Helmets probably cover a fair range, but hopefully they're all as safe as each other - or is that just wishful thinking?

I have a full face Bell that cost me $385 here in the US, but you could buy one for as little as $50. I wouldn't want to bet on it in a crash,
though.
I'm going with a windscreen. We've got some bugs here in Florida that weigh at least a pound and I don't want to catch one of those with my teeth
at speed!

In a crash you would get more protection from a helmet than a windscreen/aero screen.

Ok so how many of you out there wear a full face crash helmet and do you feel a tit driving with one on?

I'm having a windscreen cos I want to be able to cruise around town and smile at girlies without a helmet or a pair of WW2 flying goggles in my way,
then be able to blast up an A road without getting a stone in my teeth like my buddy did. Speaking of him, how's this for irony: he got one of his
teeth chipped by a stone...on the way to pick up his windscreen! Ha ha ha haaaaa...I mean bad luck mate.
Plus I actually think they look better with windscreens - more like a car, know what i mean. But it seems I might be in the minority there. Anyone
else actually prefer the look of a windscreen or am I wierd?

Eye protection or without eye protection, you all probably have suffered from mild " Arc Eye " and know just how painful and bloody awful it is.
Well I've just had eye surgery ( not from a stone in the eye job )and the pain was just like Arc Eye but goes on for about two weeks. Really awful,
so glass's for this kiddy,I don't fancy going through all that again.

I'd forgotten about that actually (or rather blocked it out) 
But if anybody wants evidence in support of a windscreen, look no further than the last two pictures in Marcus' photo archive!
Or to summarize:
No windscreen + 120mph = Don King

I'm sure it has to be 'E' marked.
