Default German Helmets
I was riding this weekend and pulled over at a rest stop. A group of four riders pulled in. I looked at their bikes ,and made some general chit chat. As I watched the group ride off I asked myself why would anyone wear a German helmet. Exactly what kind of statement are they trying to make. Don't the riders know that ***** wore them. Act American.
