But I had to buy one today. I’ve given more helmets away the last few years then I’ve bought, and I had to choke down paying 160 bucks for a 3/4 face helmet today. I have to wear one on the last 2 tours, and I just picked off the freebie rack at Eaglerider and gave it back when I was done.
This time, I have a lot more bikes and I’ll need a headset to communicate with my van driver in case someone goes Rogue or we have a problem.
Yeah, I know… the safety thing. Plus your uncle, or your friend who died because he didn’t wear a helmet. I get it.
But, they’re like condoms —- and I hate those things too! Sure they’re safe, but whats the damn point if you lose a little enjoyment?
First off, they’re hot. 2nd, harley’s vibrate, and I have this thing on my head that intensifies the vibration. I just hate em. I have this novelty helmet I wear in California and Nevada, but I’m pretty sure I can’t pull that off for this trip.
This is the one I got: It’s black and as subtle as I could find, with just a hint of Danger.
The reason I started shaving my head years ago is because I was riding a lot in helmet states and my head would itch. I shaved my head to get rid of that itch. Having the wind blow across my bald little head at 80 miles per hour is like the 3rd or 4th finest feeling I’ve ever had.
I suppose I’ll save on sunscreen, dammit.
Anyway, don’t mind me. I’m just bitching about helmets.
