First of all &





I usually store mine @ a Dealership ( From Oct. to April) they take care of it( it is
put it on a Deltran Battery Tender Jr. 12 Volt/ 750mA switches automatically from Charge to Float!) be sure to check with your insurance company about the storage.

I have a full face Scorpion, I like it but I’ll get a modular helmet next. It’s been very hot in NY!

i bought the Battery Tender Junior from Amazon. Works awesome (for one machine) and was much cheaper at Amazon vs local Auto Zone.

Good luck w storage, and Congrats on the new Spyder!

A full face is by far the safest,check the helmet injury percentages on the helmets surface,the front and sides are the largest injury areas.
I get that halfs and opens give you more freedom but you buy a helmet to protect you.why exspose your face,nose,jaw etc to damage.
Modular are a good compromise for both if you flip them down in use.accidents are just that...you dont plan them.

A stepson of mine was riding his Yamaha 800 from his home in Hemet to his place of work in Riverside. He was clipped by what turned out to be a driver without a license, or insurance. Thrown about 30 feet, and suffered enough damage to his jaw that it had to be reconstructed. He was wearing a novelty helmet in the style of the German solider of WW2. He does have a full face helmet, but made the wrong choice that day. Had to go on medIcal leave, on what amounted to half pay. Unfortunately there was no compensation from the other driver.
A friend of mine writes for a motorcycle magazine, and comments that for in town cruising he wears a modular helmet, but on the highway, prefers a full face as they are safer than a modular, and definitely safer than a 3/4 helmet.
