    the amount of Muppets I see riding around with their chins up, arms outstretched is quite comedic.
    And the number of riders (not muppets as I don't assume) riding around moto gp style would make you giggle too?

    Ride how you feel comfortable.

    One of my rides has a special indent in the tank for the helmet to snuggle into, so no, only when I have too many cheap wines.

    I considered putting cassina on ignore, but I've come to the conclusion that it must be Akzle on another account trying to wind people up.

    I guess you have never ridden one.

    Then you were doing it wrong, again. Perhaps if you were more aware what peripheral vision was, canines everywhere could breath a sigh of relief.
