100% man... she used to refuse to wear them... hate them, i got her 3 and she never wore them... after my last accident, i put the helmet on her dresser... when we got home she looked at the bike and said, "not bad for as fast as you where going, you can have this fixed in a few days work..." she went into the bedroom when we got home came out crying holding the helmet... truely did save my life... the next day she found a Hawk helmet she loved, full face... my brother is buying a z1000 to replace his wing and his chopper, my gift to him is a full face as well... we are now a helmet family 100%
