Shut down FOUR subs and EIGHT shall take its place . <| sep |> Like all liberals it ' s using others to assume blame . They could have made the list themselves but now they can blame backlash on this Ass . Prof bitch . <| sep |> I have an SS 1700 ? It ' s a full face . You have more down votes than one person can give . They actually do protect from the side as well . I ' m actually quite familiar with the statistics and unless a new set has come out in the last few months a half shell is about three times as likely to result in TBI vs ten times without a helmet at all relative to wearing a full face . I ' m not defending half shells but I will defend the DOT rating as it does guarantee a minimum level of protection . A dot helmet is a dot helmet is a dot helmet relative to the same helmet type . I don ' t think I ' ve ever heard someone defend a half shell as safe as a full shell simply because it ' s dot rated but that doesn ' t mean the half is without purpose .
