  • I know Ill get flamed, so here it is, Im so sick of none bikers and a few bikers who after my accident are asking me if Im going to start wearing a helmet! Why would I its my choice, isnt that whats its all about! For me its a personal thing I dont wear a helmet because I dont want too! Its my life, my skull, my bike,my freedom, isnt that what were all on are steel horses for! because we want to do what we want! And how we want todo it! We want the wind in are hair, and the bugs in are teeth! I dont tell cagers to wear there seat belts and buy cars that have crash bags. So please like the flag says ''DONT TREAD ON ME'' If Im really stupid respect my right to be! If you wear a full face helmet or a half and you think that after 70-80mph itll save your *** buy all means strap it on! Im all for ''you'' to wear your helmet. In fact do what ever you want as long as its lawful,and here in the Blue Grass it lawful to not were a helmet! SO DILLIGAF thats my little rant,thanks for listenin!

I also can not stand wearing a helmet, unfortunately, here in the nanny state of Washington, I don't get to make that choice.

I can smoke dope legally, I can marry someone of the same sex legally, but I must wear a friken helmet!

It's your skull and your decision man. I am for individual choice and personal liberty.

I wear a Nolan N104 modular helmet. It's my choice to do so when I am outside of the Nanny State of Kalifornia and I respect your choice not to.

I swear these politicians trying to protect people from themselves. Is this really what government is supposed to be about?

I am so sick of this crap.

Enjoy what's left of freedom while you can.

In some ways, yes, in others no...

The amount of oppurtunity we have here is still far greater than in Russia. Thus more financial upside and the freedom that comes with that. But the clock is ticking on that as the economic bubble of bubbles is sure to burst in our lifetime.

Like I said, enjoy it while you can.

People should mind their own business. As far as I care you can ride naked. Unfortunately its not my decission. Helmet laws suck
