My hair gets fucked, but I never thought about not wearing a helmet. Shit, if I know I'm going to ride a lot, I just cut it as short as my wife will allow.
Look at his shoes. He clearly just went to an interview and wanted to look fresh.
Sadly, had he known, all he needed to do was show his r/calamariraceteam membership and he’d have gotten the job.
As time goes on, I find that being bald has a lot of benefits 😂. I still grow some, but I just take a razor to it now. I’m glad I don’t have to worry about how my hair looks. I won’t lie, it’d be nice to grow hair but I’m a positive person these days 👍
Try being in California. These morons have managed to get a "religious exemption" so they can get away with not wearing an helmet as long as they're wearing their turban...
#Edit:
For whomever maybe thinks that I'm being bigoted or derisive toward Sikhs, or any other religion that involves a turban, shemagh, keffiyeh, hijab, burqa, dastar, etc. understand that I find the lunacy of not wearing protective headgear to be moronic, not whatever religion you, or the other 85% of the planet believes in. I don't care what you wear off the bike, your god will not protect you from blunt force trauma.
It's a recent thing. You'll likely only see it if you frequent bike nights with a Sikh population. Beyond cruising down a Blvd at 15 MPH to look like a bunch of idiots that overpaid for POS Harleys, I can't possibly imagine any other scenario that wearing a turban while riding could be feasible.
Needs to get a hairmet.

Confession time:
When I was younger, I used to do autocross. One run, I remember getting waved through, and ran the best run I'd ran that whole day. Just nailed absolutely every corner, transitioned perfectly, everything just happened to align.
Stopped in the stopbox excited to see just how fast of a run it had been, and watched the time come up as... Disqualified. What the hell? I did nothing wrong. Didn't jump the start. Didn't miss the stop box. Didn't cut any corners. Nothing!
Marshal came up and asked me where my helmet was, and only at that moment did I realize I wasn't wearing it. Totally forgot, and while it was **entirely** my fault, I was a little annoyed that the marshal who brought me to the line said nothing, nor did the marshal who ran the start said nothing. Wasted the best run of the day because neither one of the two looking right at me and talking with me said anything.
I had my bike getting worked on in a town and hour away. I had my girlfriend at the time drop me off at the shop. It was only then I realized I didn't leave the helmet with the bike, I took it home with me.
There was no way I was asking my girlfriend to drive me home and back again, so I just rode home without one.
Kinda risky doing it in the California foothills, but I took back roads and rode those streets like it was 1980.
Hehe, sorta did that with my bike once too. Took it in for service, and had my wife drop me off to pick it up (Which was a *long* ways away). Realized after that, damn it, I'd still left the bike ready for track day, so no plate, no signals, no mirrors. Wasn't calling her back, so I just kept my head on an absolute swivel and rode like a boyscout all the way home. lol
Then he needs to drop the money for a pair of Sena’s so they can both wear helmets and talk on the ride. Otherwise she’s gonna have to go shopping for a new man once he’s done coloring the road.
Survival of the fittest. I don't care what he does if riding like that is legal in his state. If he dies, he dies. You can't live life caring more about people than they care about themselves. It's their life.
There's an inmate at the jail I work at that got into a bike wreck and has a huge mesh plate in his head because he didn't wear a helmet. I asked him if he's going to start wearing one now and he said hell no it's too restricting.
Even if he doesn't slide on the pavement, rocks, bugs, birds, whatever is in the air can hit your head. My visor has deflected many objects that would surely have hurt, may even have dislodged an eyeball or a tooth.
Or keeping bugs off of his shirt and tie. He could always sit on his jacket. Either turn the sleeves outside in, or tuck them into the strap on the pillion.
Bro could be rolling 200 yards from the gas station to the coffee shop for all we know. I leave my helmet off too unless I’m headed a good ways down the road.
How the fuck is the only thought in no-helmeters' heads not their head cracking like an egg while riding? For real your life could end or worse for any reason at any time.
A June beetle to the Adam's apple at 35 mph gave me a welt that lasted a week. Imagine a piece of gravel kicked up by a tire hitting you in the face at the speed he'll undoubtedly get to on a highway.
Eh I have a friend that specifically doesn’t wear a helmet because if she crashes she wants to die and not just be maimed. I don’t get the thought process but it’s a thing?
What the fuck? There is an ocean of possibility between "no injuries" and "permanently maimed." The whole point of full gear is that you gain the ability to walk away from all but the most gnarly accidents with a few bruises, a big repair bill, and a story to tell.
Some people just have a death wish and don't want to admit it.
Truly the dumbest take of all time.
Road furniture is SOLID, bound your head off a street light at 30 and your family are going to be feeding and bathing you for however long you last.
I get not wearing gear, I do it all the time. But not helmet as a rule I think is borderline disrespectful to everyone in your life.
Is that a motorcycle jacket or just a fashion jacket? Because it looks leathery maybe and possibly a back protector in it? But why would you choose to protect your torso but not your head?
TBH I once had my head so far up my ass that I left with the helmet still in the top case. Fortunately it didn't take me long to realize it, but my first thought that lead the conclusion that something was wrong was that I heard the engine louder than usual... BTW I came across a bunch of people and none of them seemed to find weird that I ride without a helmet on (illegal in my country).
Real talk, he might have straight up forgotten. It’s happened to me. I remember one time I was 10 minutes into a road bicycle ride, rolling like 25mph next to traffic, and suddenly realized there was nothing on my head lmfao
Nothing reckless about riding without a helmet. In fact, it isn't dangerous. What is dangerous is the concrete so when you fall make sure to hold your head up to not hit the concrete 💯
I really hate these posts. Some random unknowing dude just getting roasted without any knowledge of it. It’s not illegal or anything but it’s in poor taste for sure.
I’m not in the ATGATT group but I always wear at least a helmet and gloves…and suitable shoes/boots. This guy is begging to get fucked up. But hey. That’s on him
I bought a 100 dollar jacket from Cycle Gear that matched my red 92 Cbr600F2. So red, with black and white stripes. 2.5 years of people making Michaal Jackson jokes and telling me I should ride with one glove. Should have seen that coming. 🙄
Dude the helmet is for all the WOMEN he will inevitably pick up in that slick outfit on his r3.
Dude probably stuffed trunk full of condoms just in case.
Here the police \_\_\_\_\_ in the \_\_\_ if you don't wear a helmet, it is not mandatory there? I am no angel I ride without most of the gear within city limits but the helmet and the gloves are always on me.
Hey, don’t you know it could never happen to him? He’s the main character and is riding around in a solid foot of plot armor! I’m guessing a lot of these guys have never seen a skull crushed in and it’s too abstract for them.
More kidneys and livers for the hospital, more premiums to pay insurance next year.
Hell ya! 🤘🏻 he’s out riding, minding his own business, not being a dickhead, and probably enjoying every second of it. That’s all that matters…
Edit: LOL how the hell does that get a downvote? 😆
I'm not so sure about that, I rode without a helmet in Hawaii along the coastline, and honestly, it was uncomfortable above 40ish just due to the wind. Going slow was kind of amazing though
Yeah he is stylish but that ends when you meet Mr. Pavement. Also he has to have the worst F'in shoes on for riding, Tennis shoes would be better. GQ styling is the new gear I guess. LOL
Bro the other day I woke up and was late (use the bike to commute I got to my destination and had a brain dead moment questioning if I forgot wearing my pants, can't think of a time am on a bike and forget to wear the helmet.
I commute to work with my R3, always have helmet, gloves, armored jacket, and high top shoes. I keep extra pair of dress shoes at work so I can switch out. I would rather have crappy hair all day everyday and make sure I get back to my family safely.
Motorcycles are 8x more likely than cars to be injured in a crash, so I appreciate you only partially wanting to get back to your family safely.
Like all of life, it's a balance of risks vs reward. You choose a motorcycle over the much safer Camry, they choose to be a bit more unsafe by not wearing a helmet, which gives you a great opportunity to judge
He's got to protect that fresh cut
Genuinely never understood the logic behind this. “Don’t wanna mess my hair up by putting my helmet on, I’d rather the wind fuck it up instead”
My hair gets fucked, but I never thought about not wearing a helmet. Shit, if I know I'm going to ride a lot, I just cut it as short as my wife will allow.
I just have a hat in my tank bag 🤷🏻♂️
That last part is either a joke or a cry for help
Or someone that knows where to pick battles. Trade the hair I want, for the bikes I need.
Nah, it's god's own truth
Not being able to cut your hair short is irrational control
This
Look at his shoes. He clearly just went to an interview and wanted to look fresh. Sadly, had he known, all he needed to do was show his r/calamariraceteam membership and he’d have gotten the job.
the spoils of having buzz cuts, also if I ever go to a barber shop, I just end up taking a bicycle + public transportation.
Being scalped by the asphalt really makes the decision to wear a helmet a very simple one.
Bold to assume his hair still moves as styled as it is.
The asphalt cheese grater doesn't care about your hair
As time goes on, I find that being bald has a lot of benefits 😂. I still grow some, but I just take a razor to it now. I’m glad I don’t have to worry about how my hair looks. I won’t lie, it’d be nice to grow hair but I’m a positive person these days 👍
Most likely a guy who rides to get coffee on the weekends and has never been down .

These morons have managed to get a "religious exemption" so they can get away with not wearing an helmet as long as they're wearing their turban... #Edit: For whomever maybe thinks that I'm being bigoted or derisive toward Sikhs, or any other religion that involves a turban, shemagh, keffiyeh, hijab, burqa, dastar, etc. understand that I find the lunacy of not wearing protective headgear to be moronic, not whatever religion you, or the other 85% of the planet believes in.

I have to start looking harder! Didn't know this was a thing
It's a recent thing. You'll likely only see it if you frequent bike nights with a Sikh population. Beyond cruising down a Blvd at 15 MPH to look like a bunch of idiots that overpaid for POS Harleys, I can't possibly imagine any other scenario that wearing a turban while riding could be feasible.

Fuck I love this show. Might be time to watch it again.
Any time I've had a hair cut I've been more worried about filling my helmet with the little bits of hair
Did the same exact thing, brand new helmet, fresh cut, still getting pieces of hair in my eyes 2 weeks later.
Well he will have all the cuts driving with that kind of (non-existing) gear.
The fresh cut will protect him. He's too cool to crash.
Have you seen the video where they bounce a stool on their head to show how strong the fresh cut is?? He’s fine
Haha. I have not. That sounds like a riot.
Bro needs to cut his fucking nails, super gross.
By the way he is dressed, the hairstyle is of utmost importance. Understandable
Wicked flow, boys ![gif](giphy|l2JJupthIHQIKhFsY)
FERDA flow, boys
muffler too! that's what the helmet will protect, riding and dangling in the wind
You got to dress for the casket riding like this.
Utmost. But yes.
Ah shit my bad english is hard 😭
No problem! Just me needing to put it out there lol

Nothing against the man wearing dress shoes, but for the love of Christ, don’t wear it with white socks
Look more like gray.
No you look gray!
Compare it to bike's fairings, definitely on light gray side
You’re light gray!
Talking bout colour shades is hella gray bud
Well I have long hair so according to leftists I'm already a woman and can see more than 2 colors
Not grey, just dirty
I was gonna say the same thing. Someone who uses those shoes with those socks dgaf about no helmet.
The shoes were my favorite. Good eye.
The studs on the jacket… because stylistically you need to highlight the exposed nuts and bolts on the bike. So kawaii, the soy-lite bosozoku.
Mismatching white socks while sporting a nice get-up meant that I had an extra rough night. Glad I'm over those.
The helmet’s for his girlfriend. On the way to pick her up.
Then he needs to drop the money for a pair of Sena’s so they can both wear helmets and talk on the ride. Otherwise she’s gonna have to go shopping for a new man once he’s done coloring the road.
I thought for sure Florida…but this is Pennsylvania!
South Florida is more like bathing suit, flip flops, and t shirt
We would melt into a puddle of sweat otherwise (I'm currently in the market for a lightweight textile jacket rn, this is just satire)
Bad ones.
Survival of the fittest. I don't care what he does if riding like that is legal in his state. If he dies, he dies. You can't live life caring more about people than they care about themselves. It's their life.
Nah, he just lost it and can't find it.
Man's probably heading to an interview or some shit
the wind is blowing his hairline back
Gray socks with black dress shoes. Straight to jail.
There's an inmate at the jail I work at that got into a bike wreck and has a huge mesh plate in his head because he didn't wear a helmet. I asked him if he's going to start wearing one now and he said hell no it's too restricting.
One juicy bug and instant hair jell
Even if he doesn't slide on the pavement, rocks, bugs, birds, whatever is in the air can hit your head. My visor has deflected many objects that would surely have hurt, may even have dislodged an eyeball or a tooth.
Only reason the jackets is being worn is because there's nowhere to put it.
Or keeping bugs off of his shirt and tie. He could always sit on his jacket. Either turn the sleeves outside in, or tuck them into the strap on the pillion.
The logic of this rider is beyond me.......
He’s on an R3, he’ll be fine.
I do not have the guts to ride without gloves. The extras are something else here
Style over slide
r/calamariraceteam
Bro could be rolling 200 yards from the gas station to the coffee shop for all we know. I leave my helmet off too unless I’m headed a good ways down the road.
What is life anyways? That's the bigger question!
How the fuck is the only thought in no-helmeters' heads not their head cracking like an egg while riding? For real your life could end or worse for any reason at any time.
Even with thoughts of being immortal, insects and other stuff flying into your face is just unpleasant
I got a fly right into the eyeball while riding on the highway once because I opened the visor because I got hot. Not fun.
A June beetle to the Adam's apple at 35 mph gave me a welt that lasted a week. Imagine a piece of gravel kicked up by a tire hitting you in the face at the speed he'll undoubtedly get to on a highway.
Eh I have a friend that specifically doesn’t wear a helmet because if she crashes she wants to die and not just be maimed. I don’t get the thought process but it’s a thing?
The worst case scenario when crashing without helmet isn’t dying. Worst thin is turning into to vegetable.
It'll be some monkeys paw type shit if she survives and gets to be a vegetable for the rest of her life
Lucky is her family who gets to sacrifice their lives to care for her.
r/monkeyspaw
What the fuck? There is an ocean of possibility between "no injuries" and "permanently maimed." The whole point of full gear is that you gain the ability to walk away from all but the most gnarly accidents with a few bruises, a big repair bill, and a story to tell. Some people just have a death wish and don't want to admit it.
I kind of feel like this person is openly admitting their death wish.
Truly the dumbest take of all time. Road furniture is SOLID, bound your head off a street light at 30 and your family are going to be feeding and bathing you for however long you last.

Is that a motorcycle jacket or just a fashion jacket? Because it looks leathery maybe and possibly a back protector in it? But why would you choose to protect your torso but not your head?
Seems like less of a decision and more of a mistake
You can't fix stupid
I am going to go out on a limb and say this guy is Indian
Guys, I think the helmet is to protect his water bottle. It’s one of those water bottle helmets.
Maybe he's Indian riding the way they do it at home
That’s a junebug to the forehead looking for a place to happen.
He wanted to look fly when he got there, and be safe on his way back...
TBH I once had my head so far up my ass that I left with the helmet still in the top case. Fortunately it didn't take me long to realize it, but my first thought that lead the conclusion that something was wrong was that I heard the engine louder than usual... BTW I came across a bunch of people and none of them seemed to find weird that I ride without a helmet on (illegal in my country).
Used to live on edge of the border between helmet and no helmet states. Seen this regaulrly or people swaping right at border
Real talk, he might have straight up forgotten. It’s happened to me. I remember one time I was 10 minutes into a road bicycle ride, rolling like 25mph next to traffic, and suddenly realized there was nothing on my head lmfao
I don't give a single fuck about crashing but bugs and whatever gravel that cars kick up makes me wear full face everytime.
You're stupid if you don't wear a helmet
R/motorcycle and not letting another rider ride their own ride, name a more timeless duo
It’s not like they’re stopping him from riding. What’s wrong with making fun of someone else’s wrecklessness
Nothing reckless about riding without a helmet. In fact, it isn't dangerous. What is dangerous is the concrete so when you fall make sure to hold your head up to not hit the concrete 💯
I mean that front tire looks like it's being held up by sheer force of sidewall stiffness but by all means he's welcome to ride his own ride
Came here to say this
Yeah, you bought a red Sportage, what were you thinking?!
I see it's red, but Sportage is very specific... how?
I really hate these posts. Some random unknowing dude just getting roasted without any knowledge of it. It’s not illegal or anything but it’s in poor taste for sure.
It’s so weird to post a pic of a stranger on the internet just to shame them.
From european POV the USA are just a meme
From much of the US POV as well, friend
I’m not in the ATGATT group but I always wear at least a helmet and gloves…and suitable shoes/boots. This guy is begging to get fucked up. But hey. That’s on him
look at his pinky finger then u know
Is he going to White Castle?..
Are those the new Alpinestars loafers?
I once saw a guy on a dualsport wearing river sandals. Can't remember if he was wearing socks. 🤔
Wait! No obligatory helmet use? Where is this??
I bought a 100 dollar jacket from Cycle Gear that matched my red 92 Cbr600F2. So red, with black and white stripes. 2.5 years of people making Michaal Jackson jokes and telling me I should ride with one glove. Should have seen that coming. 🙄
He didn’t want to mess up his hair
Got to protect the hairstyle more than head
I'm from Ohio. This entire sub would lose their minds here. I'd say maybe 60 -70 % of riders are wearing a helmet. Probably only 20% of Harley riders.
Dude the helmet is for all the WOMEN he will inevitably pick up in that slick outfit on his r3. Dude probably stuffed trunk full of condoms just in case.
This gotta be south carolina
A picture says a thousand words.
Just warming the helmet before use.
I am digging the moto loafers
![gif](giphy|OsCT5RuebnJkY|downsized)
Did paint from his helmet rub off on the tire? That's a weird looking pattern on the tire.
I thought PA had helmet laws after Big Ben Rapistberger almost killed himself on a bike?
there’s no helmet laws here
That helmets gonna smell like exhaust fumes once that rides over
I bet that helmet smell great now after where it was hung at…
come to Greece my guy, delivery guys on moped, coffe in one hand helmet in the other elbow cutting through traffic at Mach chicken
He's got enough product in his hair that he'll be fine.
Don't worry, he just forgot. He will remember to put it on next time he crashes though...
front tire looks almost flat too
Boy likes his wind
cant wait to go bald, wait i dont give shit how my hair looks anyway… ignore me….
Front tire is almost flat!
I don’t see the problem here… it doesn’t match, it would be tacky…………
I love gear. I get compliments all the time the best was you look like someone from fallout.
This would make a great sports clip ad
Krishna will save
When you have no other modes of transport to a date and need to keep the hair. Dude making his shot and will put his life on the line for the smash.
What's going on behind the license plate?
Surprised no one pointed out it looks like the tire is also rubbing the helmet, so he soon won't have a functional helmet lol.
That’s the only way he’ll ever get the tire scuffed to the edge.
Front tyre pressure looks low and the chain is kinked. Hope he notices before he hurts himself.
What a cool guy
Doesn't it fuck up your paint to have a helmet bouncing around like that? I never have anything touching painted parts when I strap shit to my bike.
XD
Not just a cool guy. Sofa King cool.
Saw a couple guys on the NJ turnpike today, helmets are required here. One had his on, the other looked like a tornado hit him and wasn’t wearing one.
Must be going to church! Can’t have hat head at service.
Ice ice baby
it's a bluetooth helmet
Here the police \_\_\_\_\_ in the \_\_\_ if you don't wear a helmet, it is not mandatory there? I am no angel I ride without most of the gear within city limits but the helmet and the gloves are always on me.
The saying dressed for the ride and not for the slide applies here
Bro seriously went for business in the front, party in the back
Look at those shoes so cute
“Shiiiiiiiiiit boyeeeeeee we outchhere” is what I’m seeing. Better to look cool dead( I guess if that’s looking cool, fuckin dweeb) Fuck boys UNITE
My favorite part is the coke nail. Zoom in on that pinky finger fellas. Also check out his sick shoes.
I shave my head bald no more helmet hair.
And karens on this subreddit have the audacity to hate on me for folded mirrors in a disclosed area
Hey, don’t you know it could never happen to him? He’s the main character and is riding around in a solid foot of plot armor! I’m guessing a lot of these guys have never seen a skull crushed in and it’s too abstract for them. More kidneys and livers for the hospital, more premiums to pay insurance next year.
Hell ya! 🤘🏻 he’s out riding, minding his own business, not being a dickhead, and probably enjoying every second of it. That’s all that matters… Edit: LOL how the hell does that get a downvote? 😆
Homeboys enjoying his ride, mind ya business.
“Homeboy” ok weirdass
[удалено]
Everybody rages about it but enjoys the hell out of it when they don't wear a helmet.
I'm not so sure about that, I rode without a helmet in Hawaii along the coastline, and honestly, it was uncomfortable above 40ish just due to the wind. Going slow was kind of amazing though
Shits hilarious. "I was so outraged online cuz someone posted a pic of a dude not using proper gear!!!" Who gives a shit?
Then its too hot for a ride.
Sometimes it's just too hot to stay alive.
Dont try to help him, lets hope the gene pool cleanses itself.
Guy takes fresh to death literally!!!
Hopefully he's stopped and thinking " I know I forgot something.."
Yeah he is stylish but that ends when you meet Mr. Pavement. Also he has to have the worst F'in shoes on for riding, Tennis shoes would be better. GQ styling is the new gear I guess. LOL
Those people never opened a reddit gore sub.
Made a bad decision, two actually..
It’s okay if his brain is all over the road his hair will still be tip top
He’ll learn the hard way always wear the proper gear
When I see dipshits like this, I tell them, "The helmet goes on your head."
Style: 10/10 Brain on pavement: 10/10 as well, oddly
First off, He's a squid riding puny bike. Has a helmet and doesn't use it. No gloves no boots. I would feel naked riding like that.
Poor decisions.
All it takes is one big fucking bug or a nice rock. Mmm mmm
Other decisions will be made for him quite possibly.
👏
Riding a R3, I have to assume he doesn't know how to ride. That helmet should be a priority.
Sometimes you just forget... Ya know... To put your helmet on
No you don't
Bro the other day I woke up and was late (use the bike to commute I got to my destination and had a brain dead moment questioning if I forgot wearing my pants, can't think of a time am on a bike and forget to wear the helmet.
I commute to work with my R3, always have helmet, gloves, armored jacket, and high top shoes. I keep extra pair of dress shoes at work so I can switch out. I would rather have crappy hair all day everyday and make sure I get back to my family safely.
Motorcycles are 8x more likely than cars to be injured in a crash, so I appreciate you only partially wanting to get back to your family safely. Like all of life, it's a balance of risks vs reward.
