Helmets are a burden, obviously!

Cheat. What did you need sunglasses for - did you think you would look cool?

You didn't want to get blinded by the glare - right?

I saw a nanna on a suzuki 125cc scooter two days ago with no helmet at all, guess back in her day helmets didn't exist. Or maybe she just had her hair permed(sp?)...

And I remember thinking you stupid bitch gravel rash will make a mess of your stunning bod real quick

It's probably the same chick, but she ate all the pies over winter!

There was this woman of about 50-plus in Levin who used to ride this bright pink scooter without a helmet. I followed her home one day (cow nearly set her bloody dog on me!) and said she had to wear a helmet - she reckoned the local cop told her she didn't! I think she was getting confused about not needing a bike licence to ride a 50cc scooter. The way she rode (like most people in Levin drive - no indicators, didn't give way to oncoming traffic when turning, etc.), she needed all the help she could get.

The sun is VERY bright in Texas. Even more so when in concrete corridor that makes up the freeway. Concrete road about 50 feet wide and two walls about 30 feet high.

This is very true! The main reason I wore a helmet, back when you didn't have too (yes, boys, and girls, there was a time you didn't have to wear a helmet. And often we didn't. And , by some miracle, our heads did not explode as soon as we reached 10mph) was because it meant I could pretend the clatter from tappets and chains did not actaully exist.

That's not what I'd be thinking.

You may miss the freedom that is being able to wipe your own arse, more, when your carer has to do it for you.

Oh no! - you've been brainwashed by acc too. Gangster slaps for the KTM rider next time I'm over.

I'll hide in the crapper when I see you (or rather hear you) arrive.

By the way, are you both coming on saturday?

Absolutely - After minding my P's & Q's and the enthralling repartee at the copilot's health industry Christmas party last night - I'm desperate to talk bikes and bull and continue to point out all the mistakes Eisdaile has made in his life.

At least I convinced them to have last nights spread at Swashbucklers so I had a good yarn to Ginger outside by the Buell for interests sake. The rest of them were talking about cars and their children - whats up with that!
