The Pet Peeve

[Boomer]

A tip o the glass to The Mufster!

Because BIG BROTHER don't control me. Ok - go without a lid on yer head. You have the freedom to do it - those of us who served made sure of that. But - when you crack your head on the pavement, get all maimed and whatever because you failed to wear the PROPER safety equipment and then want my government to pay for your stupidity - WHOA NELLY! Like Mufasa said - I love MY wife, MY daughters, and my LIFE way too much to take a chance in that manner. I have ridden a couple times without - and I just dont care for it. At all. Even on the hot days I dont understand what would possess anyone to ride a motorbike at Mach 2 down some state highway without a lid. There is a short segment of one of Bubba's articles he did in 2008 just before I bought my Harley that speaks to wearing safety equipment when you ride. I believe if you CHOOSE to ride - then choose to protect yourself.

If it SEEMS like I am passionate about helmet use - its probably because I am and its most likely derived from my sisters inveritable LACK of a helmet!
