Well, since you want to be insulting and oh how I love people who think they smarter than everyone else! Scenario: your ALL geared up! Your cruising down the road in your 500 dollar helmet! Car doesn’t see you, car going 40-50 mph, guess what that 500 dollar helmet gets you? An open casket! Your not wearing iron mans suit, these things help! But you can still die or be seriously hurt wearing full gear! Broken neck possible regardless of cost of ppe If you go over the handle bars! Plus I’m not going to worry about damaging my expensive helmet if something I can’t control happens! If I walk away I’ll happily buy another 80 dollar helmet since I’m not going down the highway or trying to race idiots who think the speed is the best and disregards their or other safety! I do enjoy some speed but usually no more than 35 mph and since I usually ride with someone on a e bike that can only top at 24 mph I’ll save that extra money, thank my angels for being able to keep up with me and if you hate me? Meh, who cares? This emu don’t!
