It's probably wrong for me to be laughing at this, but I am. I think their helmets usually look pretty cool (usually more than the face of the guy wearing them) so I don't see why they should protest against it. Bicycle helmets, on the other hand, look way too stupid, they should change them.

That's basically a retelling of several Darwin awards.

So it's not ironic that two jewish people(Stereotypically known for stealing) stole from their own memorial?

Think of it as the natural selection of the 21st century.

I still disagree with the U.S. helmet and seatbelt requirement laws.

I personally would wear helmet and full leathers with boots and I gladly wear a seatbelt, but despite that, I am only barely civil in my resistance to government sticking its nose into peoples' personal choice. Nothing fumes me more than rights and liberties (even the liberty to be a stupid-ass) taken away by overzealous soccer moms and insurance companies organized into lobbys to protect us from ourselves.

On the other hand, I believe that if someone chooses to forgo wearing a helmet and requires extended care, that the American tax payers should not have to foot the bill.

To me, that rider was illustrating a point and took a risk, and it turned out to be a bad risk. Have any of you taken risks? I certainly have... probably more stupid ones than this rider demonstrating without a helmet.

Just sayin'.

(Also, Silverdream, jews are not known for stealing, where did you hear that? The irony would be that the jews taking items from Auschwitz probably actually had at least a tiny bit of right to them)

Maybe it's a local thing, but the jewish stereotype is that they all have big noses, are cheap, hairy, steal everything, scam people and want to be lawyers.

Well here it's that they have big noses lots of money and control everything.

His mistake was in relying on the brakes on a Harley D to stop him safely. When I was still riding motorcycles here it was commonplace for motorcyclists to wave to each other out on the open road. HD riders were noted for not waving back and me and my friends always thought that was because they were too frightened to let go of the handlebars in case they went into a tankslapper. I had a ride on the back of Harley once and all I can remember is the constant sound of the thing grounding on every corner and the way it handled like a shingle truck.

I once saw a biker who had a chrome helmet where the front looked like a skull. He also had a jacket that looked like a skeleton and was riding a bike that was painted with orange flames. He looked pretty badass.

That's just normal for New Zealanders. Motorcycles, swordfighting, Haka dancing, orcish armies, and rugby are mandatory from kindergarten through high school. That's why they film stuff like Xena and LOTR down there - they save money on scriptwriting by just putting cameras out and filming all the medieval mass combat everyone was already doing anyway.

people actually wear bicycle helmets?
I have only ever seen them on families of four with toddlers on bikes.
