Summary: 

I'm also a brand new rider.  After hearing about it on the net, I took 
the Mortorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) course, which I HIGHLY 
recommend.  After finishing the course, I bought a good leather 
jacket, leather gloves, a Shoei helmet, and a new 84 Honda 650 
Nighthawk.  Great stuff!  And thanks to all the netters for the 
unknown encouragement.  

As far as the helmet goes, the Shoei has one feature which I really 
like, and would greatly miss.  The face shield ratchets up and down 
with about 7 stops.  The first one is the most important - you can 
ride on cold days with the shield open a notch and it won't fog up, 
due to the increased air flow.  Being able to quickly flip it open and 
closed at lights is very worthwhile.  

Hope you have as much fun as I'm having!
