The sign is pretty ironic coming from a guy who doesn't want to wear a helmet. :laughing:

He wants others to do their part to make motorcycling safer but he is not willing to do his part. :roll:

if i would have known i would have tried to get over there. i would have been wearing all my gear, but i would have gone for the ride. i believe people should have the freedom to make their own choices. if not, can we start legislating that all riders where jackets, boots, gloves and proper riding pants? and until a rider does such things he can't complain about any driver not watching out for people on bikes. :roll:

Helmet law!

Hi.
Well I totally agree with all the people that would rather ride with no helmet or bet the farm at ther favorate gambling.

Like the Muslims here in BC that do not have to wear a helmet must sign a waiver waving their rights to ANY compensation injury relating to a head injury from the armpits down. So from the armpits up I wouldn’t want to be you!

Like casinos. If you’re Dumb enough to bet the farm and not walk away then you get what you deserve with no compensation what so ever.Why should the Gov / People help your dumb a$$ out.
Don't think it will never happen to you.( Attitude I'm a big guy 6'6" 370#'s)

$0.02 cents.

Hey Blueie I just noticed that most of the people that are in your picture are wearing a Helmet.????
[color=#800000]Hi. Fellow Riders.
I don't know everything about this sport, but I will help you out the best way I know how.[/color]

Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
