This is no Harley bash. I have always kinda liked the torquey lazy V twin air cooled simplicity of them. I would probably own one if they weren't 15 grand. My problem is... some........not all that ride Harleys. Rarely do you find a decent helmet (fullface helmets are almost non existent). I know two guys whose wives faces were saved by fullface helmets. Face plants aren't fun with no protection. I had to ride about 40 miles home the other day with just sunglasses on with my fullface as it got knocked off and broke the visor clips on one side. Clue me what is so bad ass and macho with riding with and open face or no helmet with just sunglasses on?? Am I missing something??? Saturday my wife and I were going to dinner. A guy in front of me with his chic on a Sportster with ape hangers. The handlebars don't bother me. It was his Nazi helmet with WWl spike in the top. Great. You like the Aryan Tuetonic foolishness and disaster for Germany and much of the world with your romanticism of WWl or WWll? Fine. I just hope the spike in the helmet was an easily breakable plastic spike in case of a crash.... or the spike will either give you a broken neck or ram the spike through whatever little grey matter you have for foolishly wearing anything associated with Nazis. Sometimes I see black guys riding with a Nazi helmet. I guess they haven't read Hitlers book. Fullface is the only way. Criswell Sent from my iPhone

Seriously though, it seems that they have some sort of spiritual connection with either: 1) Baron von Richthofen (In their defense, it seems that they're hung up on WWI, not the Nazis) or 2) The Village People Thoughts? -Jeff Khoury

They dont care. An accident is never going to happen to them. They are making a statement against the gov't man. It's a conspiracy. Helmets dont actually save lives, they just mess up your hair and make money for the state! -Rich in Newberg, OR (MOTGATT...cant find pants to fit)

Oh about 25 years ago, I thought I was way cool and went riding down a deserted hwy clad only in shorts and running shoes. I still have scars from that. Oh yeah that was fun. Did I mention I was fueled by a 6 pack. Sliding down the street on my face in shorts changed my attitude on riding gear. Criswell Sent from my iPhone

Umm, hello? They bought a Harley and you have to question their smarts? E

[eddiebmauri]

I once had someone tell me that they prefer to not wear a helmet because they like the freedom of the wind through their hair! 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. Eddie M (03' KLR - "la poderosa")
