Yeah, you have an opinion and I agree with the first amendment. You should be able to voice your opinion even when it makes you look like a dumbass. To bad you didn't have the good sense to use the 5th amendement shut your pie hole.
Always has to be a pole smoker in the crowd... and yes I am referring to you!
I wear one 99% of the time but occasionally I won't if I am going to lunch or something like that. One guy posted(on this forum I think) that you hear stories that end with "thank God I had a helmet on". You never here "man I'm lucky not to have had that helmet on". It was something like that and I thought it was great. I fully support those that choose not to wear a helmet.
How about developing skills and learning how to ride so you do not need this stuff?
Yeah! Look at all those unskilled riders on the race tracks every weekend. They're all good little sheep too - wearing safety gear simply because they are told they have to. If they were *real men*, like you Whack, they'd all ride lidless in shorts & a t-shirt and rely on their mad riding skillz.
You still need to worry about the other guy, but if you are skilled and in control, no worry!
A skilled rider knows he can't control everyone and everything.
$30,000 and a week do not make you a rider.
Neither does saying dumb things and attempting to claim you're a "skilled rider".

By the way I can say this because I have been riding Harleys fo 45 years and never a crash or injury.
I figured there must be some source for your confusion. Doing something for a long time doesn't make you "skilled" - it just makes you experienced. I'm glad you've never had a wreck and sincerely hope you never do.
Now if you could just work on your people skills a bit...

That is a great point, and you are right on about never hearing anybody say that.
