    Besides no one will laugh at you. They would expect you to be wearing a helmet anyway.

    If someone saw you on a motorcycle without one they'd be like "look at that idiot not wearing a helmet, lets watch if he gets hit".

    it's a very fast motorcycle.

    I really don't like wearing a helmet that much in town...helmet laws suc

    i have a choice and would like to wear one out on the highway...need to find someone to lend me one here as I don't have mine anymore and the friend who loaned me the bike has a real small head ;)

    thats about what I say. the risk is too great. if you controlled your destiny, thats one thing but you dont. It's in the hands of another idiot who is going to hit you. it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

    I saw a guy riding a harley in shorts once. No shirt either.

    He probably wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed.....

    certainly I relate to the fact that I am more or less invisible on a m/c

    I have been riding for close to 40 years
    .
    I could give a shit about anyone laughing at me..it's not like it's a harley.. I'm not trying to image anyone.. it's a fast rice-grinder..old..but still has a hundred ponies

    i see that here all the time. we do have a strict helmet law here, but idiots think they are cool or damn sexy when they wear no shirts riding...man just yesterday i saw a dude in shorts, timberlands, but no shirt, pop a wheely...fucking dumbass. perhaps they have a death wish?

    helmets are a good idea, but I really like the wind in my hair so it doesn't happen every time.

    it's mainly a comfort thing for 60+mph ..anything over 60 is intense

    maybe I'm just getting old
