I race dirt bikes and I own a streetbike and cannot for my life think of anyone that has not moved their bike without a helmet on at some point. Now while there is NEVER a good time to ride like an idiot without a helmet, I would like you to read that sentence again. RIDE LIKE AN IDIOT WITHOUT A HELMET. there is NEVER a good time to ride like an idiot but even then who gets to constitute what riding like an idiot is for that matter?? Noone ever deserves to die and many people have a lapse in judgement when there is alchohol involved but even the drunkest most retarded fucklips doesn't DESERVE to die. For all those who show no sympathy for anyone who lost their life I hope someone close to you like a brother or sister or even son, daughter, mother, father, or anything like that dies and then you will most likely defend them and then realize what you are saying is ridiculous.
Live your life and stop judging people as I guarantee with no doubt if I follow any one of you around for a week I can catch you doing something dumb.
I think we can all agree that it isn't really reasonable to strap your helmet on if you don't intend on riding the bike out of your driveway, that doesn't need to be proven. As for having sympathy for someone who acts against their better judgment KNOWING it's not a bad idea and does it anyway? Well, I don't have any for that kind of person. If he was wearing a helmet, not drunk and he made a mistake and snapped the throttle open faster than he really wanted to and THEN crashed, sympathy will be issued. Unless it's something along those lines, he got what was coming to him.
I do have sympathy for his family for their loss though, but HE should have thought about that before he got on the bike. Every time I get on my bike, or drive, or anything I contemplate what might happen if I do something that might impair my judgment, hence I don't drink. That way I don't have that problem.
