Nolan N100 Classic. Motorcycle Consumer News did a test of modular helmets in 2003 when I got back into riding and the Nolan was at the top, followed by HJC. I've been very happy with it, especially the flip-up feature.

I looked hard at the modulars, but just couldn't convince myself that the chin piece wouldn't shear off on a bad lay down... I'm sure it's still better protection than an open face, and damn it must be nice to be able to flip it all the way up!

Full face all the way.
It's what saved my head and face many years ago when I came off on an icy road.
I cant understand using one of those little puddin bowl lids unless its to fulfill the minimum legal requirement.

Shoei RF200 for at least 10 years. It has been a good helmet but on long rides it sort of hurts my forehead. So a few weeks ago I got a Shark Evoline in black like this. It is a modular:
