Ah, this is the way it used to be...

Bikes suck these days with all the protective gear we wear,the only way to feel the freedom of wind in your hair is in a bloody car! This is what was so much fun when I started riding bikes.

Your choice. The odds of a cop on the roads you ride would be slight indeed.

Or head to a beach for a gear free blat. Sand is soft.

An open at neck light leather jacket and open face helmet comes pretty close.

I think that's a main why I am quickly growing to hate road bikes after such a short time, yet have always loved my dirt bikes.

There's no one to tell me what gear I should be wearing, it's the best on a good hot day.

For years I had a really nice AGV open face (when AGV was a rare quality Italian brand) that left my ears out in the breeze.I could always wear my horse helmet....

Surely thou shittest us, or else hath never hit 'soft' sand with thy head at thpeed.

Even quads, now, I never ride in the dunes without a helmet.

when AGV was... quality

Thank you for the disclaimer. You would have got jumped on.

Ago always wore AGV.It's a pity he never got to race against me,but at least it saved him some embarresment.AGV is possibly now owned by a company whose interests include weedkiller,prophylactics,harbour cranes,garden furniture,products for the space program and a brewery.Hence they will always have my support.
