I’m not offended, I’d actually have to care what you think for that. But I’m also not going to let you tell people riding without all the proper gear is somehow safer because you lack the skills/training/experience to do it. It’s not. If you don’t want to wear a helmet because it cramps your style and you don’t mind ending up a brain-dead organ donor after a minor accident, that’s your business. Sign a DNR, carry your organ donor card, and leave the rest of us out of it. Just don’t mistake your uninformed choices, or your inability to ride with all the right gear, as facts that apply to everyone else.
I could bore you with stories of all the motorcycle accidents I’ve been on in 20+ years of working as a firefighter, but I’m guessing you think you’re immune to ending up like that. You’re wrong. If you “prepare for the crash” you have a decent chance at walking away from some pretty serious accidents. If you don’t, you have a pretty good chance of being seriously maimed or even killed in an otherwise minor accident. Just the facts.
