Dwight, you sure made me feel good today.
I re-read my post after reading yours and I now feel REAL GOOD about myself!
Why? Cause after dissecting it line by line, I see just how much I see "eye to eye" with everyone here.

How you MAY ask? Here's how;

The gear will/MAY protect you IF you are involved in an accident, but the goal is to NOT be involved, and ones awareness is undoubtedly improved when your 360 vision (and hearing) is not impeded by a massive head cover, IMHO.
I FEEL much more in tune with my surroundings then my heads not covered. Just MY reasons for not wearing a helmet. Everyone's opinion is just, whatever makes you feel safer.
In this Florida heat, a lot of the ATGATT riders aren't out during our extended summers. The ones that are, are b1tching all the time about the heat.
Again, whatever makes YOU the most at ease, and gives you the most awareness of your surroundings.

Ok, now,

"The gear will/MAY protect you IF you are involved in an accident"

Ok, this is in agreement with your post, "OTHER verifiable scientific data(let alone common-friggin'-sense) has shown wearin' a friggin' BRAIN BUCKET will lead to LESS brain injury in the event of a person(whether that person is a friggin' moronic smoker such as myself, or that person has lungs as pure as the driven snow) crashing their motorcycle, and thus their chances of survival in that event will INCREASE. "

KEY WORDS HERE "In the event....survival in that EVENT will increase"

Well, that's what I said "IF you are involved in an accident"

So you & I agree here. Great! and I have agreed with your wishes, "I would just for once like to hear from the people who CHOOSE to refrain from wearin' a helmet to ADMIT that their friggin' CHOICE is a less than wise choice"



Now, Chad says "I say maybe, maybe not." Well, I said " will/MAY " So we agree.



Now, you say "and WITHOUT havin' them getting' all friggin' DEFENSIVE about it...that's all...". Great! NOWHERE in my post did I get offensive, "Just MY reasons for not wearing a helmet. Everyone's opinion is just, whatever makes you feel safer." & "Again, whatever makes YOU the most at ease". Again, we TOTALLY agree.



Then I say "ones awareness is undoubtedly improved when your 360 vision (and hearing) is not impeded by a massive head cover, IMHO.
I FEEL much more in tune with my surroundings then my heads not covered. Just MY reasons for not wearing a helmet"

This pretty much agrees with Mike, Ron, Ian, Brent's dad, Leonard, Rich, and Chad.



Then, "Everyone's opinion is just", Well, That seems to agree with 90% here, INCLUDING Dwight.




Then Ron said "If they won't call me stupid, I won't call them (ATGATT) pussies would be a good deal I think." Again, I totally agree!




Then you said "I'm pretty darn sure you know my "IQ" is probably at least in the 50-percentile or higher Demographic, RIGHT?!".
Well, hmmm, yea, again I agree.






What also makes me feel good is that even when my opinion was blasted, by Bill, and I responded to him, WE EACH KEPT IT TO JUST

ONE FRIGGIN' response!!! THEN WE STOPPED!!!

NOT ON & ON & ON & ON & ON & ON & ON & ...............



And last, but not least, EVERYTHING WAS VERY POLITE! "IMHO.", "Just MY reasons ", "Everyone's opinion is just", "whatever makes you feel safer", "Again, whatever makes YOU the most at ease".

Ain't it GREAT when we "all just get along"!

PEACE!


Ok, so not EVERYONE agrees. Where would the fun be there?


Woe hoe...!!!! Now there's some complicated sh!t!! My po IQ just couldn't decipher all o' that! (musta bumped my head too many times from fallin' off my bicycle without a helmet in my yute)

Live to love, love to live.
