    19. Carrying less weight on our motorcycles will enable us to ride much faster.

    20. We will be able to recognise each other more easily, hence waving threads will become a thing of the past as we all wave to our friends.

    You can avoid this problem by wearing an open-face helmet. This works until you fall off the bike onto your face. After that, no-one wants to see your face.

    29. It's easier to catch a bug if you feel a bit peckish. Got to keep those energy/protein levels up for concentration.

    31. Because it messes with your hair. (No more more helmet hair, yay!).
    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    32. Less speding infringements, as you'll feel like you're going 3x faster without a helmet. IMAGINE THE SAVINGS!
    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    47. Other road users can hear and understand what you're yelling at them (and if they've got their windows up / the stereo on, and you enunciate carefully, they can still lip read).

    62. You can pull kewl faces at kids in the back of the vehicle in front.

    39. Double Snot streamers are such a kewl fashion accessory.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....
