Chrome Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 wearing a helmet was my first idea. cruiser+no helmet=dumbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoblick Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 im just practicing Ohio's no helmet law.long rides, ill wear one.but not around town here.a cruiser guy not wearing a helmet is as laughable as a sport bike guy doing over 100mph, or doing free way rolls from 60 - 180, or trying to drag knee around a off ramp. its all bull shit that you all do.

Hoblick Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 its all the same.. . except im obeying the law.your doing something ignorant and disobeying the law, whereas i am not dicking around, and obeying the law.granted both aspects are bad, i just choose not to wear a helmet while taking short rides, which is my right to do so in this state. lets not forget about the fact that you all drink and ride. helmet or not thats fucked up.

Hoblick Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 ok maybe not all, but there seems to be a good bit on this site that do.sorry for assuming you did.anyway, this has gotten off track into a helmet debate, and lead into other bullshit.on topic.... regardless, rain sucks.i cant believe how much more protection a sport biek will give you in a the rain compared to a cruiser. like stated before i would ride on any of my sport bikes ive owned, i dont really even remember the bottom of my pant legs getting wet. i was soaked in 5 min on my cruiser.

lemosley01 Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 +1 +2. Hoblick, I'm not worried about myself - it's all the other idiots around me that worry me. You can be totally legal, it only takes one jackass to spoil it. I'd like to have my lid on should that happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
