Buying motocycles built in a country that killed Americans by the thousands could be considered as being about as far from American as you can gettoo........

As for Motosportman, he did say "The wearing a novelty helmet designed to look like that usedby the **** regime- is about as far frombeing American as you can get".
So who now is being judgmental and speculative, especially since you do not know any of our pasts! The difference with me is that I don't get sickened, or loose sleep,over the fact that I serve to protect and defend the freedom of speech and opinion, even if it'sthe opinion of an a-hole.That is your freedom to profese that you don't like the "German style" helmet (I do not ride with the crooked cross on it soI do not feel I'm a ****) and those that wear them are "punks". So be it, I'll sleep fine tonight. But, do not call us un-American for doing so. That is not a freedom of speech that I will abide by.
I think he just got heated and offended by the REMF comment I made earlier. But, if the shoe fits, wear it!

RE: Novelty helmets
If you think the weird shaped helmets look like **** helmets, then maybe you should look a lot closer to American Military Helmets.

. I saw you throw out some good corrections the other day. Keep up the good work and get your rest. You'll need it in order to keep up with some of us English language murderers (SP?)

Motosportman,
I ask you again:
Help me out here with something. If your were born 11/1954 what combat did you see in Viet Nam?
Seems you last signed off at 11:12:11 AM, how come you didn't answer?
By the way I checked you out a little and thank you for your service, but I still want to know.

RE: Novelty helmets
I live in pa and wear a novelty helmet when I ride. I figure that although the helmet isn't that protective it is still something that I think could help in a "fender bender" type wreck in town or something where there is more risk to laying the bike down. I would prefer greatly not to wear anything at all, but that doesn't fly with the wife so it's a compromise for me.

Wow, how did this go down hill so fast? This thread has nothing to do with America, patriotism, or service to country. Its a simple question.

RE: Novelty helmets
I live in Washington State so I have to wear a helmet(and I wear a novelty). I'm not sure if I would go helmetless is they changed the laws here. I can say that whenever I go to Idaho and get that little taste of freedom I go helmetless.
Although I don't agree with Motosportsman's view on the German novelty helmet, he could have seen action in Vietnam since the last troops were out in '75. Most of the troops were pulled out in '73(which would have man him 18 or 19) but we still had soldiers there till April 30th 1975.
