So this morning, I’m driving to work in the morning darkeness and I see something flashing in my rear view - my first thought was a cop, but when i looked in the mirror, it was a motorcycle. The guy had his brights on - now being a rider, I’m all about visibility, as in making sure other drivers know I’m there, but when it’s pitch black outside, you can’t run with your highs on… people don’t like that!
Anyway, no big deal, I slow a bit and let the guy pass me so I won’t be getting blinded by the lights - as the guy passes, I notice he is only wearing a bandana do-rag on his head. I know - alot of people choose to do this, and it’s Texas law that the rider has a choice of wearing a helmet or not (as long as he/she at least has enough insurance to cover thier funeral)… Personally, I think it is absolutely the most idiotic thing to not wear a helmet while riding… but in Texas, we all have that choice - I don’t get on a bike without a helmet, period.
Ok, so that’s fine and great - the guy doesn’t wear one and is relying on that do-rag to protect his melon… whatever… so the guy keeps on around me, then pulls into my lane in front of me; it’s then that I see something that just cracks me up: The guy has his helmet strapped on his back seat… What the heck man… you know ? The helmet doesn’t protect the melon via osmosis man…
I just found it pretty humorous.
