RE: wearing a helmet
ORIGINAL: victorsam
I admit I do not wear one all the time, but I do feel more at ease when I do. Several years ago I was in a helmet law state and needed to make a quick 10 block trip. I threw my helmet on but did not buckle it. My 10 block trip turned into a 5 block trip when an idiot ran a red light and broadsided me. The initial impact knocked me out from under my helmet so when I bounced of his windshield I no longer had the helmet on. The concussion was in my vision center so lost eyesight for a spell. Oh what a difference of having the thing buckled would have made. I probably would have never ridden again but I had to leave the hospital on a bike so I went through that get back on the horse thing soon after the wreck. I was out of town so that was my only mode of transportation. I ended up riding the wrecked and totaled bike another 800 miles to get home. That was a sight.
Long way to say, wearing and buckling that helmet is on the top 10 list of things I would have done different in my life.

RE: wearing a helmet
wow i leave for a day and this thread goes everywhere helmets to fat chick wtf...lol though...no my friends hardly ever wear helmets since we have no law and i cant believe they are alive. my friends f4 goes down more than a cheap hooker and he always just gets up. as for me i wear a helmet because i smoked a wall racing an atv when i was younger and had an open face helmet on. broke the helmet and left me a nice permanent reminder on the side of my face so it nothing but full sheild for me. i also agree that its a personal choice. just dont want to get anyone thinking i am telling them what to do. and whoever asked if i was there boss...nope not me i am a lowly farm hand so the only thing under me is pig ****

I actually like the message in the Dove commercials:

Damn it...I annoy myself with these rants. MUST STOP. Especially since it really is an utter waste of time and I'm just using it to keep myself from having to work.

I myself hate women in general other than being attracted to them. I think ALL women are crazy. So far from what I have seen I think they LOVE to be treated like crap. Which I use to treat them like lifeless sex objects when I was in my teens. Did well for myself. Then I started treating them like living breathing human beings with complex thought process' and feelings. They'd walk all over me and if not I'd become their "Gay Best Friend" in which they'd bitch at me about their ******* boyfriends(Then after I calm them down they go have great crazy makeup sex with them and tell me about it). It freaking sucks however I can't bring myself to treat people like crap despite I know I'll get treated like crap. Basically No Good Deed Goes Unpunished and that is true when it comes to "Love"
Anyways I got into a huge debate on another motorcycle forum when people kept postin pictures of Beautiful women and it really took up the forum. Then someone posted about how hot Eva Mendes was. Which she is. But I'm not attracted to her. Why? Because she deosn't have a scar on her. She'd be so freaking boring it wouldn't even be funny. Sure the 2and1/2 minutes you rock her in bed would be fine. But there are 23hours and 57.5minutes left. WTF you going to do then? Pay for her to go bake in a tanning bed? Hell with that.
I want a girl who will ride a Motorcycle through the twisties hard, play with my dog and her dog(That weighs more than 2oz) in the mud, have some scars from some mountain biking crashes and 13 different non-thong tanlines from kayaking/mountain biking/hiking/camping/motorcycle gear and other activities that are fun and involve being outdoors
Basically to me this...
Is much more ATTRACTIVE than this...
Or considering I want to do something more than spend 1 night with her I'd choose the top girl over the bottom girl.

I find it kind of funny, people act differently towards me when I have mine on. Girls are intrigued by the guy whos face they can't see. People also assume that I can do every trick in the book because I look more serious about what im doing with it on even if its not true.

Tell them to get back on their Gixxer and go pose somewhere else.
To me someone in full gear looks badass. To me you look like you are some kind of futuristic soldier.
