lol!

Maybe they will keep their helmets on with the face shield. I saw some
chick on a Japanese crotch rocket do that at Publix the other day.
Nobody said a word.

All we bikers agree that full-face helmets are the best protection, along with
leather jackets, jeans, and gloves.

I see that now and then here but in the summer that must be pretty
damned hot, particularly in stop and go traffic.

Yes, it can get hot, but not nearly as hot as sliding on asphalt at 60mph.

If I had to acknowledge that riding was that dangerous, I would stop.
;-)

Riding isn't dangerous. Crashing is dangerous, just as it is in an automobile.


I don't wear a helmet and leathers in my car either and it is air
conditioned. ;-)


No, but there are a hell of a lot of busted windshields and people who should
have been wearing a helmet.

Have you ever watched a NASCAR, or any other race?


The difference is you not in the Course du BOC on Glebe Road, and I am
not driving 200MPH in NASCAR.
