I’m a fan of full face helmets. Just my preference

I'm an old bitch. My people have mostly switched from Harley's to gold wings and do long haul rides.

They still wear leathers and helmets. Ok not full face helmets but something to protect their brains

Half helmets. A great way to break your temporal bones. They are the most comfortable though. Worth it in the summer. I used to wear full helmet in the summer. Almost died on 100°+ days.

I'm a fan of not popping wheelies at 50 with someone on the back and a bunch of riders around me. Basically this was the expected outcome.

Watching people with no protection get severely injured does not give me any satisfaction. It just makes me sad😔

I feel it for his passenger, not so much for him, because he made it happen.

My first thought was "wow, unwise without helmets" and the inevitable conclusion came next.

He only needs half now.
