Its a dude.

Anyway, nice job OSP. I wish more people were willing to listen to stuff about gear. I work with a dude that started riding last season and totaled his bike being an idiot. Luckily he had a helmet on, otherwise he woulda been real fucked when the back of his head hit the pavement, but he was covered in rash. Yet his GF who rides a harley still rides in a tank top with no helmet.

EDIT: the new O S P honda thing is fucking great

I am anti-helmet law. Personal decisions should not be made by the government.

I got stopped for no seatbelt by a bike cop that had a 3/4 helmet, leather jacket, but no gloves.

Me too. I absolutely hate seat belt laws and I look at helmet laws as the same kind of thing. But whats fucked up is I can ride with no helmet if I choose (though I never have), but if I want to drive around the block with out a seatbelt I can get a ticket.

Which is why I choose to wear a helmet...

The problem is, laws like this give the government more power... Next thing you know, they ban trans fats in New York... Then cities ban large dogs... then motorcycles go... Afterall, these things can be hazardous and everyone can live without them...

Let's not turn this thread into a debate about helmet laws...

Laws that protect people from themselves are stupid. The government is basicly saying you aren't smart enough to make your decisions, so they must do it for you.... GAY

They also say that wearing a seatbelt is safer. Its proven smoking isnt safe but thats legal. The government is fucked up when it comes to shit like this. They need to let people make their own choices. Legalize drugs, no helmet or seatbelt laws, etc. If people wanna do them, they will.
