Ok on these forums you see a lot of people who wear all the gear, full face helmets, etc. and seem to get sick to their stomach when they see people without a helmet, a small bucket, or no other gear.
Im curious if when I ride by another biker who isnt wearing proper gear or a helmet (me in everything with full face helm), do they look at me and think "what a moron wearing all that crap!" or something to that effect.
helmetless riders....what do you think of us? any animosity? d
oes it go both ways?
helmetless riders...

i did get a lot of funny looks when i went to a bike show that is dominated by cruiser and chopper riders.
personally, i don't care what other people wear.
although... if it's a friend of mine. i will try to convince them to wear proper gear. but even then, im not gonna force the issue if they don't listen the 1st time.

On the fence, perhaps.
I am either on the fence, or perhaps jump between the far ends of each yard. I wear a full helmet, and will occasionally go with no helmet... however, I won't wear a half helmet.
To me, a half helmet is no better protection than no helmet.
My only real dislike in the gear of others is seeing someone riding in sandals. That is just impractical

Don't think of it as a stop light. Think of it as a chance-to-show-off light.

A certain part of me envies those who feel comfortable riding without gear. I'm not comfortable without gear, so I wear it. End of story.
I don't understand why someone would look down on them for it. It's their choice, and I don't buy into the argument that their decision ruins everyone elses insurance rates. There are a whole lot of issues that make a bigger difference to our rates.
