Really, you ever ride at 60mph for an hour with no helmet, your hair feels like its being ripped out. Sunglass on a bike - with no face shield? Looks cool, until you get hit in the lens with a small rock. And, I sh*t you not, I was once told that a helmet is dangerous because if you have a head injury while riding, your head can not swell, and that causes brain damage! I love the reasons that some give for not wearing a helmet. Oh, Oh, Oh, and "loud pipes save lives, bro". So does my KLR's muffler's "tweet". I always ride with a full face helmet, and I also wear a thong. A thong just somehow seems safer than boxers or briefs.
