Duo, if there weren't any opinionated busybodies there'd be no posts!
For the record, I am SOTTIWAOTGASOTTID (some of the time I wear all of the gear and some of the time I don't.) I honestly don't understand why people get so worked up about what other people are wearing. Motorcycle riding is dangerous - your safest bet is to watch TV. There is a lot of motorcycle death in SouthernCalifornia. At least one a week - practically all of them were wearing helmets. Sarris was in a major collision and got pretty effed up in it - it's not like he's unaware of the risks. I have ridden in 117 degree heat with all of the gear (was a dry heat!) and I've ridden to play tennis in, well, my tennis stuff. I generally increase the amount of protection based on my non-scientific estimate of my likelihood of hitting the pavement. I do always wear a helmet. Except for that one time in Chicago.
-One more opinionated busybody.
