Well. here we go again. I wear a helmet most days. I wore one in on my morning commute. Its nice and cool and I always feel a lttle slack jawed in the moring anyway cause I am riding to WORK.
I do find wearing a lid on a 105 degree day during a pleasure ride to be something that is pure choice. I can do without it if I choose. It has nothing to do with being cool. The fact that I am riding a Triumph does that already eh? Lots and lots of people and I reiterate MANY people do ride sans helmet because THEY CAN...it is legal to do so and it has nothing to do with being cool or not. (in a literal sense).
I would not go so far as to presume that all these riders are natural born idiots or retards cause they CHOOSE to ride in the wind without a bucket on their heads.
Probably wasting my breath though.
Remember Dwight you admitted to riding without one from time to time. I would not presume you to be an idiot under that pretense though. I would not assume you to be an idiot under any circumstance. I would just say you CHOSE to take the risk implied for the degree of comfort and freedom that was elicited by the lack of a helmet at the time.
