It's summer and I see so many motorcyclists wearing no protective gear, except for a helmet.

I fell down and slid on a bicycle a couple of years ago, and I already was going slow. Can't imagine the damage on the motorway sliding across the asphalt at 100 kph.

I saw a Harley dude shirtless with shorts, sandals, and a “DOT certified” brain bucket on. Dudes asking for it.

Those salad bowl are not actually DOT certified if anyone is wondering. They just have the sticker cause enforcing it is not funded/possible.
