Default Full face, full time?

So today at a strip mall, I saw a guy come out of one store with a ff on and then walk into another one with it still on. (No, he wasn’t Darth Vader.) Hey, I am all about “you do you”, but I am also free to think that’s kinda odd. Am I the only one?

I had great fun with this but it seemed like nobody cared about the lengths I went to just to keep them safe. So unappreciated.

I see it every now and then. I wonder what the hell they are thinking on hot days.

I see dudes in the mushroom head half helmets walking around, too. I assume they are all just worried about them being stolen if they leave them on the bike ??

Rocket riders do it all the time around here, there's been issues over it with some business owners not wanting to allow it.

if im going to be in the store less time than it takes to pop the helmet off it stays on. much more than that, it comes off. i guess if it was just the 2 stores it wouldnt be odd.

Looks odd to me. Could be illegal in some areas.

You should probably carry it. I saw two kids on skate boards eyeing mine locked with the strap one day.

Sure they don't care if the strap is missing. I usually have not worried about things but it would suck to then be illegal on the road without a helmet.

I assume their special. They identify with the short buss or… they are struggling with the “D” ring and missed that day in day care.

I bought my FF after years of riding with a HH. Really enjoy a cup of coffee or a bottle of water while I ride. Did not realize my problem until I was leaving Dunkin Donut a with a wonderfully hot cup coffee one morning.

Did not appear to be. Wasn’t carrying anything, other than possibly shame.

Many years ago, a friend asked me if I could eat an ice cream cone while riding.
