There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
What kind of helmet when you have a high windscreen?

Scorpion EXO modular currently... I own half helmets from my Harley days that have hardly ever been worn. Always full face or modular, always full gear... went down in light drizzle 2 blocks from my home on a Yamaha 1300 ten years ago, at 25mph (crossing railway tracks that had tarred wooden beams parallel to the rails and the bike just flipped out from under me) and even at that speed I had a concussion and 4 cracked ribs and cracked shoulder... and that was fully geared up!
I have a ‘13 RS I bought a couple of months ago, the lady that owned it before must of been tall, with the LaMonster highway pegs she put on she didn’t even use the arch link, the pegs where mounted to the brackets... the cycle came with a tall windshield plus the added extension... my first helmet was a FF Scorpion & I have sense gotten an AGV modular & with temps. here in the upper 80’s I still seem to be getting plenty of air into them with the shield cracked, but we’ll see this summer when it gets up to 100 with 98% humidity???

The entire helmet debate always comes down to the reason you are wearing a helmet. If you are wearing it to meet legal requirements. Wear whatever you like. If perceived comfort is primary. Again, wear anything you like. But if safety is the primary reason you are wearing a helmet. Then there is no argument. A full face helmet is the only way to go.
A well fitted full face helmet is extremely comfortable.
Even a casual look at this head chart, developed by compiling years worth of crash data, will give a safety oriented person the information needed to make a decision. When you add it up, choosing a 3/4 helmet leaves you unprotected in the areas where about 45% of injuries occur. Only you can decide if this is an acceptable risk or not.
I was in the fire service for 33 years. I went to a good number of motorcycle accidents. And I watched training videos and talked to others in the emergency service business on this subject. I wear a full face helmet.
