Question If You Saw This...What Would You Do (Poll)

Was out riding yesterday and I decided to stop for a a quick cup of coffee...while sitting there drinking and talking to another rider I see these 2 bikes pull up and park...a brand spanking new blue HD Deluxe & a (I don't care to much for) Victory Vision..I look over as they are backing up and noticed that the the HD rider was wearing what looked to be a new HD leather jacket, new jeans, new cowboy style boots and sure as 5h!t he had his new HD helmet on backwards Here's the the thing, the guy who was riding the Victory with him didn't notice it either, or chose not to tell his friend. It was obvious that they were riding together.

I Just sat there sat shacking my head and thinking..1st, "reminder to self not to come here anymore"...2nd, I understand they are noobs, but this type of thing really gets my goat!!

So I decided to take a Poll on the forum..Would you have walked over and told this person that he has been wearing his helmet on backwards or not?

BTW, I threw away my cup of coffee got on the bike and road away as fast as I could.

Personally, I don't think I would say anything. I try to mind my own business. But I can't wait to read the responses that will be coming in!

What did the place where you were drinking coffee have to do with the dumbass wearing his helmet backwards?

I wouldn't say a word. I dont care if you''re new to riding. If you can't put your helmet on properly... you deserve what's coming to you... Wow kinda sounds f^cked up but that's me
