    imho, too many people ride motorcycles.... simply because they do not have what it takes.... mentally or physically

    shit.... i see 60 year old women riding. just because they know how to shift and work the clutch doesn't mean they should be on two wheels.

    riding motorcycles has now become mainstream, and every tom, dick and harry wants to ride. I see huge fat motherfukkers riding rice rockets, wearing nothing but flip flops, a tank top, short pants, yet they are wearing a full face helmet. Yeah, good thing he's wearing a helmet, cuz now he's safe, huh? I hate to see anybody go down, but if someone has to, let it be that fukkin turd with the flip flops on.

    Let's just agree to disagree. Most you dudes probably haven't logged 20,000 miles yet, which means you are still dangerous to ride around anyways. Yeah, probably a good idea to wear that helmet then.... make that a full face!

    THIS^^^!!!
    The above is the main point.


    About the helmet laws: did you see where multiple people talked about getting hit (in the head) with a bird? Without the helmet would you have bobbed and weaved your way out of it? Thing is bro, I'm with you on the helmet laws, just for different reasons.
    1. I want to lower the amount of stupid people in the world.
    2. I don't like being micromanaged.

    true true true

    Now, not as hardcore as I once was.... I have a windshield that will block most of that coming straight at me, so not nearly as much wind on me as well. It's a recurve, so not as tall as stock, but it still takes care of most debris.

    When I'm cruising in the hills, once i get past a certain point, helmet comes off and in my lap. I really enjoy the feeling of the wind through my hair, and not having several pounds of crap sitting on my head.

    True. Can't prevent everything. and there will always be some risk.

    No one lives forever. If i get taken out on my harley, I hope it's with a smile on my face

    and then you butt holes will say.... see, if Roman were only wearing his helmet....

    i wouldnt even consider riding without a helmet if it were legal here, ive had too many little stones rattling of my visor, they'd be kinda nasty on bare flesh!

    I easily have over 20k miles. And not all miles are the same. But someone riding 5k miles on a highway isnt the same as someone logging hard miles ripping through corners. There are people who have logged 500k miles in a car and still cant really drive. Most of my miles are on a 170hp bike and riding it hard.
    Professional riders crash, professional car drivers get in accidents. Shit happens. To think you can anticipate everything is cocky and dangerous
