Fifty Plus (50+) - Do you look better with your helmet on?

This could be interesting or a big flop. I guess there are only two answers(maybe three?)

I think I do, but who really cares....:innocent:

You look smarter, so therefore, better.

Oops. Didn't think about the potential of this thread. My bad.

Uh-huh, sure you didn't.... ;)

I'd say I look better with a good pair of shades on.
Helmet without sunglasses, not better for sure.

Most people say I look better with helmet, balaclava and glasses on, but at least I feel safer with Helmet on.

Am I lying in the street bleeding? Or riding? Or just walking into the bakery?

I look the same. First left, then right, then left again. If it's all clear, I go. ;)

I've been told I look best with a hood over my head, so I guess I look better with a helmet.

Depends. I've got one helmet with a visor, and a light on it that I usually use in the winter or darker months. Makes me look like a total knob!! My other helmet that has no visor or light and I wear sunglasses with it makes me look fairly decent.

Although my wife probably thinks I look like a knob in either one!!

Do I look better with a helmet? No way!

Helmet or bag, it's all the same - yes.

Do you look better with your helmet on?

ummm.....no.:roflmao2::roflmao2::roflmao2::roflmao2::roflmao2::roflmao2:

With my helmet on what?
or how?

I guess we had that coming!

Some bring the sodas I will get the:popcorn

With my full face motorcycle helmet YES, with my bicycle helmet not so much although at least it covers most of the gray hair....:o

Pictures? Votes? Ladies want to know!

Can't say. Don't usually wear one.

This time of year I have tan lines running down my cheeks from the chin straps...so...yeah...probably look better with the helmet on and buckled.

Im not so vain as to care. I wear the helmet with a visor for the protection it affords. I also wear sun glasses for protection too.

See?

People who are used to seeing me without a helmet usually laugh the first time they see me with a helmet.
What does that mean?

Handsome fellas, you. Thanks guys! Now, we're talking.

Pretty bad. I forgot the bag!

Hmmmmmm. Maybe. I guess it depends on if I'm wearing nothing under my spandex.

You look smarter, so therefore, better.

Yes, I look better and smarter. If helmet aesthetics is a priority for you just keep in mind that a helmet prevents your first big bicycle tumble from being your last.

Am I ugglier with my helmet or without my helmet?!?!

Yeah right, and which is heavier...a ton of Schwinns or a ton of feathers?

As you can see....the helmet doesn't help much!! :eek:

Lenny, without the helmet you look like it should be a ton of Harley's :thumb:

You tell me:

is that a Bell helment?

As your bike rolls to a stop take the helmet off. There is no more dorky look on the planet than some guy walking around with a bike helmet on, unless it's the guy with the bike on the commuter train still wearing his helmet.

I've been told I look best with a hood over my head, so I guess I look better with a helmet.

You are far far far far far from needing a bag.
Actually, that's a borderline nasty comment.

I dont think the helmet makes much difference, it is the little mirror I have hanging off the helmet that makes me feel a little different.

Helmet on - everything else off.

Nasty? Nah, I need a bag! I sleep in one, even :-)

Thank you, though...that was sweet!

I can't decide whether to say O M G, or hubba-hubba...

I think I'll have dinner and think about it.
