Rancid, you must be new to that base..... or niave. I'm in the military and I ride on base too.
On base is about the un safest place around. Zombies trying to get to muster on time, lack of decent lighting, Base Police who are.... , who are not really watching out for you... Zombie contractors who walk infront of you.. Some of the worse roads there are..
You NEED a good helmet on base. In fact, getting a hair net is #1, just skirting the rules, #2, not gonna save you from the idiots, #3.. just not smart.
Do what you want, but trust me about the idiots on base...
