    Only at lights and only to shotgun a beer while waiting at the light.

    I lift it at almost every stop. I hate the lack of air movement. I can't ride it the Honda Cage without the air on either.

    I take my helmet off at every light because of the lack of air movement. I usually hold up traffic putting it back on, but what do I care. I took all the padding out of the helmet to make the take off/put on easier. Sure, the helmet moves around a bit, but it's all good. I also take my gloves off because I don't want my hands to get too sweaty.

    Ditto here, except when wearing an open face or "air" hat, of course.
    My full helmets are flip-faced composites so if hot or talking the whole deal gets hoisted.

    "F-in' punk ass bitch... M-F'er... bust a cap in yo' ass..."

    You mean that tune?
    One of my favorites also. :rolleyes:

    I did that once, pulling onto a highway. Had to gas it to catch up to JB and forgot to shut it. Half of it came off the helmet so I had to slow down and try to fix it one handed (left hand to fixing the right side of the shield). Was annoying, but thankfully only took a few seconds to get it back on so it wouldn't fly off.
