Even more dumbfounding: When they own a helmet and you know this because it is hanging on the back seat of the bike.

[–]lcynicl 1 point2 points ago*

Everyone has an inalienable right to be an idiot.

Besides, it cleans the gene pool. Would you rather have someone that stupid breeding more cretins?

Edit, by the way, I ride a Harley. But I use a brain-bucket.

I have the same reaction, along with.. "why? what are you.. that's just so.. what if.. stupid idiot."

[–]roo-ster 0 points1 point ago

When I see one, I think, "Oh cool -- an organ donor".

[–]GoochyBandana 0 points1 point ago

here, there is no law requiring a helmet be worn while riding a motorcycle. however, there is A FUCKING SEATBELT LAW THIS BACKWARDS ASS MOTHERFUCKING PLACE. yes, this is the south.

[–]ddfreedom 1 point2 points ago

welcome to ohio (seatbelt is a secondary offense). That being said, I am for neither because I think it is a little much to legislate and fine you to use a safety device.

[–]SONAVABITCH 0 points1 point ago

Completely agree, laws to help others, I'm all for it. Laws affecting ONLY me, fuck off.

[–]ScaryFast 0 points1 point ago

What about your family, friends, etc. who don't want you to die?

[–]SONAVABITCH 0 points1 point ago

Don't get me wrong, I do wear a seat belt, but as far as a law so that feelings aren't hurt... Not cool imo.

[–]abithozak 0 points1 point ago

It's not just for your inconvenience. Use of safety restraints can enable people to walk away from accidents that would otherwise severely injure them, reducing the burden on public safety and public health resources. It's better for society that you not become a tetraplegic.

[–]ddfreedom 0 points1 point ago

so your argument is that others don't want you to die, so do this for their sake or else we will fine you? But don't worry, it's for your own good.

[–]Wolfosaurus 0 points1 point ago

I was pulling out of my driveway without wearing my seatbelt and a motorcycle cop happened to ride past and look at me. I was pulled over and I received a $300 fine.

[–]DavidChenghz -1 points0 points ago

to be fair, the fact that he is riding down the highway on a motorcycle is bad enough... the no helmet fact doesn't really matter too much

He probably knows that if he crashes at that speed, he wouldn't want to live anyways... how much could a helmet really help you if you crash at 70MPH?

[–]Powderkeg40 2 points3 points ago

You'd be surprised how well proper riding gear and a helmet will protect a rider. Even at high speed.

[–]ddfreedom 0 points1 point ago

in full riding gear and a helmet, you can come up virtually unscathed...look at those racing around a track.

[–]MHurleyXXX 0 points1 point ago

I crashed at 80 wearing a fully padded Jacket, Bike jeans and a Lid. The jacket wore down to the padding on the elbow, and the lid was literally cracked. I'm still breathing however, and apart from a broken wrist no injuries.

The fact that I couldn't wank for a few months after made life a bit awkward, but I'm quite happy I'm still here.

[–]DavidChenghz 0 points1 point ago

well i stand corrected...

still not willing to risk it though... i'm just a chicken i guess

[–]RChebroha -1 points0 points ago

Most people won't understand the irony here. A Titan running back once ran a 65 yard touch down, in only four seconds, after helmet was knocked off about thirty yards in.
