No I don't want to take a rock or a bug to the face. I'll take my chances with the visor down. Maybe if I was putting around at 25-30mph but not highway speed. And most major roads in MI are 50+ mph limit

In MI you're more likely to take a deer to the face at night!

We should take a pic of our visors after a ride here in the country and then see who decides to leave their shields up
