I was enjoying a couple of beers with a friend on 8th and Fitzwater when I saw (heard first, then saw) a silver SVS lead by another bike which I could not distinguish A. b/c i didnt have my glasses on (i can always distinguish an SV) and B. b/c the rider of that other bike was too busy focusing on revving his engine (he had an obscenely loud exhaust) that he forgot to put a helmet on (and i dont think he had eye protection either but again i was half blind at the time so i cant be sure of that).
I don't know how anyone can ride without a helmet on. I personally feel naked. Without a helmet on I would be way too tentative. Not to mention that given the disgusting number of dead bugs on my face shield in the spring and summer, I am all too happy not to have the pleasure of eating them or having them stuck in my eye.
Can someone enlighten me why people would not wear a helmet? And btw, last night was a cool 45-50 degrees -- it was NOT too hot to wear one.
