no helmet state, always wear one.

 

the second I cross the state line of a helmet state, I make a point to pull over and pull of the helmet. Can't stand riding with em.

 

Always has to be a pole smoker in the crowd... and yes I am referring to you!

 

Yes and Yes

 

Yes no helment state and yes I always wear one. Lots of good reasons to wear one and not any good reasons not to.

 

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.

 

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.

A skilled rider knows he can't control everyone and everything.

Neither does saying dumb things and attempting to claim you're a "skilled rider".

 

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...

 

I live in Illinois but have always wore one. ACC carbon fiber. Makes my wife feel better and its small enough it doesnt really bother me.

 

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