If you think NOT wearing a helmet is acceptable, you're an IDIOT!
How could anyone climb onto the seat of a two wheel (or three) motorcycle, with no "Cage" to protect you, jump into traffic surrounded by people looking to KILL YOU, zing up to 70MPH, and think falling down isn't going to happen...?
Not to mention the THIN patch of rubber, completely dependent on a clean road to keep you upright.

| Even these IDIOTS wear helmets |
If you think NOT YOU, you're an IDIOT..!
If you're one of the many riders who think a baseball cap, a dew rag, or a pair of bitch'en sunglasses will help in a fall, you're an IDIOT..!
OK, maybe you're part of the "Freedom Rules" crowd. Wearing a helmet restricts you're "motorcycling experience". It's all about the wind in your hair, and nothing between you and the open road? Answer? You're an IDIOT.
Oh wait..! Wearing a helmet isn't Harley fashionable? You're an IDIOT.
Part of the "Helmets cause injury" crowd? You're an IDIOT!
Wait, if you crash, a helmet won't help? You're an IDIOT!
Helmets are uncomfortable, so not wearing one makes sense. Who wants to be distracted by an ill fitting helmet? Umm, you're an IDIOT!
Have you ever...
- Bumped you head getting into your car?
- Been hit in the head by a rock during a rock throwing fight (typically as a kid...)?
- Slipped hitting your head?
- Had your "bell" rung?
Let me point out the obvious. Your BRAIN makes everything else work. If it's damaged, you're life will change. Not only will you be DIFFERENT, you're FAMILY will be forever changed.
With this being true, there are still people who CHOOSE to ride a motorcycle without a helmet. These IDIOTS think that they are special, and that they're somehow exercising their right to CHOOSE for themselves. A GOD GIVEN right to leave the helmet in the store, where it belongs.
These riders are IDIOTS.
The GOOD PART is, this can be a temporary condition. Also, MANY of us have had bouts with STUPIDITY. Myself included. Years ago, I used EVERY excuse above. I was a SELFISH IDIOT, only thinking my CHOICE would only effect me. I experienced the revelation, and I'm proud to say I'm a RECOVERING IDIOT. I ALWAYS wear a helmet.
I've used IDIOT to describe those that CHOOSE to go bare headed in this Blog, but lets face it, if you're making this choice, you're an IDIOT.
Walk into my store, and convince me that not wearing a helmet makes sense. I'll call you an IDIOT, right before I pound your theory into the ground. The conversation will be short, because I hate talking to IDIOTS.
Look, you're smart. As a matter of fact, you're so SMART that you've managed to convince yourself that NOT wearing a helmet makes perfect sense. That the odds are so small of having an accident, that it's worth the risk. And if your superior riding skills can't get you out of a tight situation, you'll avoid a serious head injury because you're simply, "YOU!"
There is NO WAY of convincing those that ride without a helmet that they're IDIOTS. They're SUPERHUMAN, and we're mear mortals. It typically takes the DEATH of a close riding buddy. A wife or girlfriend with amazing mind control powers. Or an accident where God stepped in, saving the helmet-less IDIOT.
I was blunt, and I'M NOT SORRY. While you might think a helmet is simply an inconvenience, EVERYONE else see's it as a tool to save your life.
Oh, and those of you that think this article was put together because I sell motorcycle helmets, YOU'RE AN IDIOT..!
No helmet still? OK, your CHOICE. I hope you at least enjoyed reading my RANT. If you get in an accident on your next motorcycle ride, it could be the LAST TIME you can read... Nice choice, IDIOT.
