In no way am I a Harley or biker apologist.They are a POS marketed to a dissapearing demographic. Their biggest growth market today are MMA fans. My point was that the act of riding down the road on a motorcycle would not normally be considered a death defying act, although riding without a helmet definitely introduces an unnecessary risk. I would consider the idiots who splatter themselves on the Deerfoot after wiping out at 150 mph on their rice rockets more suitable darwin award recipients.
