  Posted in the topic Do You Wear A Helmet (if not required) in the forum Biker Chat

  I do not wear a helmet, unless the situation calls for wearing one, once I get out of the helmet required states. It is a matter of preference.  Being an adult I exercise my preference. I do not say that anyone should or should not wear a helmet because it is up to the person that is riding on or in a vehicle depending upon the circumstances.  
   Interestingly enough many people in the state of California did not realize why the helmet law was authored by Dick Floyd.  Bell Helmets is was located in his district.  The helmet law was a way for Floyd to increase product sales and hopefully create jobs in his district. LOL didn't work out too well. Bell helmets moved their manufacturing overseas and layed off a bunch of people and maximize their profits and bonuses.  Oops not like we haven't seen that one before.  Once you have a large number of people obligated to give you money you have it made.   Humm if I manufactured an Orange vest and got some money hungry polititian to pass a law... Ah forget it I'll keep my dignity and ethics.

  waving at other bike riders is a common greeting among bike riders. We are a relativly small community and we tend to acknowlege each other. There are some subtle differences in the waves. Waving high is a common greeting. Waving low with one finger pointing toward the ground is an old school gesture. It mean "keep the greasy side down" in reference to the under side of the motor. Patting the top of the head means "Keep it down" a loose reference to keep your speed down. Police trap ahead. A arm straight up or a leg straight out and circling means loose gravel or hazard in the the road. Hopoe this clears a few questions up.
