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?

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

honeslty I really don't care what people wear. I know what I want to protect.
When I see a helmetless rider, I just hope that he doesn't get hurt and cast another bad image of motorcyclists.

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.
