chickwhorips "my comment about WWII was not to offend anyone."

not offended, there are sometimes a segment of the biker community who take the look and run with it, memorablia and all. When it's deliberate, that looks offensive to me.

when it's not, it's just looks unsafe.

"it was just that i watched a thing on the history channel about WWII a couple of days ago and that was my first thought. it looks like any war helmet (and it doesn't matter which war, think they are still using similar hemets now but more high tech)"

they are now, more armor, covering more.

"it actually reminds me more of jesse james, though i can't stand him anymore. was nice to look at for a while though...."

Huh? The western outlaw? I never met him, I'm not THAT old

"i really like the helmet because of the studs on the side. as far as practicality though... agree. no face coverage. i've seen some greusome things with no face protection or helmet."

I bet. I don't want to know

I saw a guy wiped out on a bike right in front of me on the fwy. Flipped it 3 times. He walked away with a broken wrist.

He had a full face helmet, I guess you call it balistic fabric everywhere, boots, gloves. whew.

If anyone got me on a bike I would want not just leather, I want the whole dang cow on me

"not that i'm one to talk about helmets. i've finially purchaced one for my mtb after having it for a year and a half (its in the mail somewhere) and i ride a quad (atv) to work without a helmet."

I'm not one to talk either, I need a new one, I never ride without one, and change it each year but I'm about 9 months over due. Next bike swap meet.

Uh, could it be Sandra Bullock's hubby? He's a motorcycle designer/builder.

i can't belive people would run with it like that. its so sad. there is just some things in life i don't understand and hating someone because of how they look/act/are just doesn't make sense to me.
