Surprisingly they printed it in the latest issue!
Seeing motorcyclists riding without helmets in popular media is akin to drivers without seat belts or doctors smoking cigarettes on TV. Unless it’s on Mad Men it just really doesn’t seem right. I can remember when bicycle helmets were considered dorky- yet today they are a fashion statement.
Call me politically correct or whatever you like- but people do what people see. Like it or not.
