I am wondering why cruiser (mainly harley) riders think it is smart and manly to not wear any protective gear, especially a helmet? This rant stems from a conversation I had tonite with a fellow student (who rides a Victory Vegas) about to wear or not to wear helmets... so the conversation went...
Jon " My friend says he wears a ballcap on backward because it's the only thing that will stay on his head while riding"
Rockethead " I bet that hat will protect a lot when he wrecks"
Jon " welcome to Ohio, we don't wear helmets around here, a REAL MAN don't wear a helmet. West Virginia has a helmet law don't they?"
Rockethead " yeah, I will wear my helmet weather it's the law or not. I want to walk away from my crash"
Jon " If I wreck that bad I don't expect to walk away from it, just bury me and be done with it"
Rockethead" Oh yeah, i'll be sure to tell your mother that, Sorry mrs. risden, I know you miss your Son, but remember... Real men don't wear helmets"
I have a family and friends and a good life to worry about. I always wear leathers, gloves boots, helmet, eye protection. I mean why risk it???
Now I know harley riders don't go fast enough to hurt themselves in a crash j/k but I wonder why they think they are invincible?
Sorry for the long rant, couldn't help it. people who don't wear helmets are Darwins way of weeding out the dumb people
