Remove anything about fighting, and the tangential tailing out section.

So far I solved the "not getting punched in the face" thing by not getting into flights. But with a helmet I may be as aggressive as I please. Next time I buy red herrings at the fishmonger I bring a full face helmet. | |

If they can somehow create a more aerodynamic and more road full face helmet that has the jaw guard but still has the aerodynamic design that satisfies roadies then problem solved. but no one has come up with a design yet. Also it doesn't look stupid at all. I actually get loads of people complimenting it saying it looks cool and even how much safer it is. | |
