Talking Full Face Helmets

Ever notice that crotch rocket riders wear full face helmets but at they same time they are wearing shorts and sandals. A lot of the Harley guys wear a lot of leather chaps and jackets but the wear little beanie helmets.

I think I have it figured out! The crotch rocket guys are protecting their heads and the Harley guys are protecting their tattoos.

Yes it will. Also if you get a Bar and Shield tattoo you may even get a discount on chrome at the dealer.

Nope keep thinking you have figured it out...I wear a full face in the winter I wear jeans, a hoodie, and chucks...Summer a full face, jeans, shirt/tank top, chucks...and I have a full sleeve tattoos to my knuckles..your theory is blown. Oh and I rode crotch rockets too but when I rode those I wore full leathers...again your off track.
