Safety Gear
eprovenzano:
I didn't mean to start a helmet no helmet issue... I just think its odd/strange, that when "most" people throw a leg over a bike, they usually put on at least a helmet, while those who ride quads, its rare that I see someone wearing a helmet.
I do agree its the individual's decision, no it should not be regulated. I just thought it seemed odd.
Danger4u2:
On the street you dress for the ride. You dress for rain, day to night temperature changes you get the idea...You want to look cool also.
On dirt you dress for the crash not the ride. I'm big on safety gear, the first thing I bought for the quad was nerf bars. All quads should come with nerf bars as a stock part. On the K5 unless I'm going over to the neighbors I always "motocross out". Helmet, goggles, gloves, long sleeve shirt, padded riding pants, motocross boots, and most important a good nights sleep. BTW if your pants have pads in the knees and a zipper in the back they are not motocross pants.

Those are CR pants...

I wear it all including a neck roll which is the latest addition! I really would like to ride my street bike without a helmet, but that would really be stupid! My riding buddies give me a hard time about how long it takes me to suit up to ride, but I am 60 and still riding and I have worn safety gear 99% of the time since I was 14. :-D

I guess that 1% was in your pictures of you shirtless and no helmet? :-D lol!
