Was driving around yesterday and spooted the very rare super duper King Squid. I just had to take a picture to share.

This dude had THREE helmets on his bike and wasnt wearing a single one. The one you cant see was sitting on his tank in front of him. (I have a theory he had a 4th in his backpack) Tack onto that the wife beater, shorts, and ipod and we gentlemen have the crown jewel of squids IMO.

I dont get some people....
 
Ok, no helmet, but you need a full crash cage????

And his tag is just behind his tire BTW:D
 
BTW.... I'm not knocking the helmet free ( I used to pick and choose when I wore a lid, but thanks to the NC state helmet law my helmet saved my life this summer ). I now will always wear a lid by choice, but this guy just seems to be a rolling contradiction and for that I say he deserves a little blasting....;)
 
this bike is actually a honda prototype in disguise.the helmets are really flotation devices.if you look carefully in front of his feet youll see two silver bars those are really hydrofoils this bike is amphibious.hence the shirt,shorts,boat shoes and orange life vest required by law.i think honda is going to call it the wet 1000rr.:D
 
and when your skill level and experiance grows you realize protection is more important than thinking you look cool and ready for a run on the beach.
 
Prob. has two more pairs of kicks in his backpack and doesn't wanna get caught out somwhur without a matching ensemble! LMAO:D
 
Most times it isnt what the riderr is capable of that matters when it comes to an injury rather the highschool girl texting or the old driver who cant see or hear ****.

Wearing gear no matter what your abilities is hands down better and if it is your time so be it but I would do my damnedest to make sure it isnt my time by atleast wearing what gear I have.

I dont wear a full race suit like Dave:p, either but I do wear full gear and it you are one to just wear shorts and other minimal gear you are just setting yourself up for hurt. [smirk]

To each there own but you wont see me riding without my helmet that is a damn fact.
 
I wear the gear, especially a helmet. I live in NY close to the PA border, no helmet law in PA, I still wear one. I hit a deer 2 years ago and I would have died with out it. My helmet was cracked but my head was intact. I had a bad concussion but I am alive.
 
when your skill level/experiance grows,you may end up trying it,and you will like it.
Click to expand...
Two of the best riders in the world, Colin Edwards and Ben Spies were at a autograph session recently and a guy asked them if they ever rode without gear on the street. They both said "Not a chance".
 
I must atmit I don't always wear my jacket especialy in this texas heat, But unless in am moving my bike around in the parking lot or something I never go without my helmet. I tried it once and felt naked. I think I can live with some road rash but I would not be too happy if my face or brain was messed up.

I also have this therory on not wearing a helmet, It just proves to me that natrual selection does exsist.
