I wear one because I like the styling of it regardless of its origins. If the smurfs would have invented it -then I guess I would be wearing a smurf helmet.

I ride the "retro styled" <-air quotes) Cross Bones and although I also own a modular SyMaxII full face helmet, I feel like a Cylon (from Battlestar Galactica) just finishing up his shift and heading home after work.

Obviously this would be worn as the spoils of conquering and domesticating the cow.

This would be about as boring as NASCAR, or do they turn left?

Yes, they turn left. Just remember, NASCAR and Highway Patrol turn left. All others turn right.

Reminds me of a conversation I had with a stupid woman a few years ago. She made a comment that she thought it was just horrible to raise cattle just to kill them.

I asked her if she liked to eat Steak. She stated, "Of course I do"!

I then advised her that it would be inadvisable to walk out into a pasture and cut off a T-Bone before first killing the cow.

She then realized how stupid her comment was.
