Well said, thank you!  90% of the riders wear a helmet for the run. Some
people go without just for the day because they can.  Some people don't wear
a helmet because they don't like they sight limited and their hearing
deadened.  It's not about not wearing a helmet as people seemto be focusing
on, it's about having a choice.  I have my full face, my 3/4 hemlet and my
skid plate but there are still those perfect days where I go au natural.
I'm realy quite surprised about some people's narrow mindedness on this
group.
Did I join the Harley mailing list or the Triumph list?
