Just curious, by putting down people that wear masks, aren't you trying to to prove that
Ohhh...you so bad ***! You so rebel!
Oh yeah, I forgot trash talk is now "the thing". :~)

Riding a motorcycle for a lot of people is a form of escapism from the drudgery of our normal days, so who cares if someone wants to bear a bandana, a batman suit, have a bear riding on his passenger seat, or whatever. If it makes someone comfortable, happy or feeling better about themselves, I'm all for it.

I wear a face guard (see profile pic) with a helmet with graphics (Native American skull). I couldn't give two ***** what people think of it. It works for me and my sensibilities.
Very very well said.

Only if it's the low spark of high heeled boys.

If you don't know Steve Winwood or Traffic songs, you won't get it.

Trying not to look like a douche, I purchased the American flag and solid colors.
