And I have no issue at all with you recommending to whoever you wish - but I will take issue if you act like wearing a helmet protects you from doing dumb things like getting drunk and riding your bike.
Do people do it? Sure. Is it smart? No. After all, your noggin isn't the only thing that can get hurt. But, each person has their own issues that bother them. Me, riding sober without a helmet makes more sense being drunk with one. You can add going at 40+ MPH on a bike too.
Chipcom is just an old out of shape guy, he doesn't have to worry about going to fast... (sorry dude - couldn't resist

)
