I was thinking "denial". But Delusion works.
I am all for the right to choose. But I am opposed to stupidity. There are ZERO instances where a person can consider himself safer through NOT using a helmet. And I can think of no valid reason why a person could consider it more COMFORTABLE to be without a helmet, than to be wearing a proper fitting lid.
I understand the appeal of looking cool. But does it outweigh the fiscal burden that is placed on society every year by those who crash without a helmet on? You may say "well I have insurance for that". Who pays for those medical bills then? I do, through my own premiums.
Not to mention the ammunition that another motorcycle death gives to those who would take away our freedom to chose; to choose helmets, or motorcycles for that matter.
i'll climb off the soapbox now. as you can tell, I feel very passionate about helmet use.
