Funny thing to me the riders most vocal about helmetless riding are generally the ones a nicely painted, full face helmet would do the most to improve their appearance.
How anyone can ride, be hit in the cheek a few times with Japanese Beetles, sprayed in the head with gravel from the road shoulder when a truck weaves ahead, catch a half pound of gnats in their teeth on an evening ride, etc and not WANT to wear a helmet is a sign of a severe mental defect.
With all due respect to a fellow Freeper......
Who are you to sit in judgement?
You used the word "assinine" and the phrase, "severe mental defect", to describe those that choose not to wear a helmet.
I would use that same word and phrase to describe your outlook on the issue.
Again, who are you to pass judgement?
No, I do not ride a scooter. Used to, long time ago.
I am real curious now........
How do you feel about me owning a gun?
How do you feel about me owning and driving not one, but TWO - SUV's?
Your post has all the taste of the typical Liberal crap - "I don't like it, therefore it is wrong - what you, as an individual wants to do matters not."
I'm with LasVegasMac here.
I'd also like to add something.
Before we even get to all of LasVegasMac's valid points, it jumped out at me that you are drawing an equivalence between choosing not to wear a helmet with killing the weak because they are inconvenient.
This shows a very Liberal-unthink style of logic (that is to say, total lack thereof).
