Lazyrider, you are waisting your time on this...but if you want to have a discussion about it that's fine.
I wear a helmet about 95% of the time, guess I just got used to it. Kentucky didn't have a helmet law when I started riding and I didn't own one, let alone wear one....then KY passed the helmet law and I had to wear one...now they have repealed the law and I feel naked without it....but sometimes still go for a short ride without one....
However, I agree with CHOICE, and if you want to go lidless, have at it, it's your choice, I'll never tell anyone ( other than my kids, how hypocritical is that,but that's a dads right) to wear one or not to...
I wish we all could be more accepital of each other....if I want to NOT wear a helmet,what's it matter to you??? if you want to wear every stitch of protective clothing you can fine, what's it matter to me??? As long as I make the payments on my bike, I should have the say in riding it, dressed like I want ( well clothing is mandatory at my age :lol
go where I want on it, as far as I want etc....
what's next, red bikes are safer than white ones, so everyone has to ride red bikes????? or and tennis shoes are out too, only heavy boots, and no matching helmets, have to be contrasting colors....or forget the trailers, may cause you to loose control...etc, etc, etc...
Get a grip on it guys, unless he's your child, let him ride the way he wants....dress the way he wants...as long as he's doesn't violate the laws...or my eye sight :lol:....
Be safe everyone.
