accel_is_my_drug Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I only wave at people wearing helmets. Because those that don't wear helmets are probably too f*cking stupid and too low skilled as a motorcyclist to continue riding with only one hand on the bars.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'm sorry that the OP has had some bad experiences with helmets, but the "logic" posited for not wearing one is totally flawed."helmets increase the chance of snapping your neck" is like saying taking a shower increases your chances of slipping and cracking your head. You're rationalizing away protection for a statistically insignificant risk.When it comes to waving, I tried to wave at everyone except scooters. In some situations, I was on the clutch, and couldn't wave. Sorry. In retrospect, I wish I had waved to the scooter riders too; because now that I've ridden one, I can't possibly fault people for wanting to have that much damn fun going 40 mph or less.So sure - if you want to exercise your right to not wear a helmet, that's fine, but don't try to tell us that wearing a helmet is riskier than going without one.
