Default First time for everything........

In 30 yrs of riding I did a first for me. Went to my nephew's soccer game. i wear a novelty helmet(let the bashing begin) When I stop, I wedge the helmet btween the seat and sissy bar, it fits nicely and wont fall off. After talking for a few, I rode the 5 miles or so home, and when I parked the scooter, I see my helmet still on the back of my bike!!!!!!!! Now I know why I was gettin all the looks on the way and to think i was believin' it was my stunning good looks!!!!!!!!

At my age it's called "gettin' old"...I forget **** all the time, just not my helmet (yet!)...if you have a helmet law, I'm glad you made it home without Mr. Policeman seeing you.

You see this all the time with street bike riders. Always have it hooked into the small luggage compartment on the back. If youre not going to wear it just leave the damn thing home.

Its always black dudes too trying to look cool.

I have pulled out of the garage and up the driveway more then once when i realized i left my helmet sit on the table.. its just second nature putting it on and it fits perfect that i can't tell its there most of the time.

Abso-freaken-lutely!

Just a few days ago I was taking my Heritage out of the garage... and I heard a light scraping. I thought to myself.. crap! Now what? It took me a minute to look down and see that I hadn't kicked up the side stand. Thankfully I was still in my driveway when I figured that one out...

There are certain aspects of getting old that I really dislike!
