+1 on this statement. Both myself and my wife wear FF for the protection if something were to happen.

Why do some people tool around on 800 lb wanna be cars with stereos and arm rests? Really, just buy a car.

Haha I always say this... If I'm gonna spend 25k+ on 2 wheeler with all the bells and whistles(goldwing), I'll skip that and get a nice convertible. That's just my opinion... I ride a deuce with ZERO bells and whistles..

But who cares what other people ride/wear?!???

28. In early November, it is 40 degrees out and pouring down big fat rain. You are not concerned with looking like a biker. You are about to leave home for work.

a. You select the automobile.
b. You select the skull cap and sunglasses.
c. You select the full face and windscreen.

I heard them there helmet things can provide protection to your face and head and has nothing to do with having very little to do with having a windshield as well.
I have a hard time figuring out why people are so concerned about others.

Ginger or Mary Ann?
