I can not understand the logic please help me understand, since it makes zero since to me.
When I ride my protective gear is for head,elbows,knees,chest,feet,and hips. I also prefer low db pipes for my own and others hearing protection. KTM 300xcw
Oh I agree, and no matter what you ride, be it a HD, Triumph Daytona, GSX-R1000, Honda Goldwing (which if you ride this you're clearly not right), etc. there will be d-bags that think they're cool or own the road whatever. I've known a couple SoS guys and sure they hate the fact that I ride a CBR600RR, but they respect the fact that I know the rules of the road and I don't ride like some clown (one wheel, stunts and being a tool cutting through traffic like a maniac). Too often I see guys doing that and they're always wearing jeans, riding jacket (latest Joe Rocket trend) and no helmet. Well if you want to be transformed into the flying spaghetti monster then go ahead, but I do feel bad for the firefighter that has to shovel what used to be your head off the highway. Helmets save lives, and there's nothing cooler than being alive as opposed to dead, regardless of what your helmet looks like.
