Its so funny on these motorcicle forums.....be it this one or any other where the gear vs lack of gear issue comes up....people will not hesitate to make light of or insult the other.
Yet of course when we go on group rides not a one of us would have the nuts to say some of the things that are said in these forums.
Ummm...not necessarily Kev. Just ask anybody who has attended the SWTF the last two years, and I think they'd tell ya that I have relayed my opinion to them about how strongly I feel that those who don't wear helmets aren't usin' all the brain their good lord gave 'em!!!

I have never had anyone come up and lecture me at a PGR ride due to a lack of a helmet or armored jacket et al..
Likewise on the few RAT rides I have been on not a one has ever accosted me about my lack of a helmet. Likwise I dont make fun of the full helmet armored vest iron man lookalike crowd either.
Why? Because the latter group you mentioned here take the proper precautions? Why WOULD ya?!

If someone on a RAT ride did insult me for that reason it would be the last time.
I doubt it. You see, when it comes to voicin' my opinion 'bout somethin'(as once again, just ask ANYBODY who attended the SWTF), ESPECIALLY when I have the emperical FACTS to back up my opinion...well...it takes a WHOLE LOT to shut me up!(I'm kind'a like you in this regard, you see...but as I stated, I HAVE THE FRIGGIN' FACTS IN MY FAVOR!!!)

It seems we all have more class in person than we do on the internet no?
Well dude! NOT ME!!! I have absolutely NO CLASS!!!(as you may have noticed all these many years)...either in person NOR over this friggin' internet!!!
(and once again...just ask ANYBODY who attended the SWTF...THEY'LL TELL YA!!!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
