    Hahahah, what a dumbass.

    Why even protest it? What are you concerned about? The weight of the helmet? The way you look? Who the fuck cares when it's infinitely safer and not that much of an inconvenience? Even if you don't want to wear it for some retarded reason, I don't see why you'd be so upset as to protest it like that. He totally had it coming to him.

    Wow

    When I rode a motorcycle in the 90s, helmets were required by law. They changed the law a few years after I stopped riding. The argument for not wearing them is they restrict your side vision. What's dumb about that logic is there are helmets that have little if any effect on it. Hemets do save lives by about 35%.

    I see motorcyclist not wearing a helmet, wearing a short sleeve shirt, shorts and flip flops. Proper safety attire is a long sleeve shirt or better yet a jacket, gloves, thick pants like jeans and high top shoes or boots. Being it is so hot in Texas I can understand losing the jacket and gloves are not that important, but the others is just stupid. Better to be hot than having a leg with gravel embedded in it or losing all of your skin.

    People find helmets uncomfortable. I rode a few times without one, and felt like I was cheating death. I never go now without one.

    I heard about this a few days back and shook my head in disgust. This man will always be remembered a guy that rode his Harley during a protest, losing control of his motorcycle in a HELMET law protest by not wearing one. And they wonder why we HAVE TO wear helmets...

    He, like a lot of the comments I skimmed through on that page, were protesting their right NOT to wear a helmet. They feel like it shouldn't be up to the evil evil government to MAKE them wear helmets and that it should be their choice as to wear a helmet or not.

    Darwinism at it's finest.
