I was sitting at the light this morning when fellow motorcyclist rolled up to me and gave me a nod. He was riding Ducati Monster and looked like your typical city commuter, with black messenger bag across his shoulder. His gear was somewhat lacking in my opinion, with only black bike jacket providing any kind of protection. No gloves, sneakers and jeans. Well, it’s his choice. Then I looked at this helmet. First thing I noticed was a pair of $400 Persol glasses on his face. The didn’t fit in the helmet so they were “halfway” on which looked extremely funny. Something didn’t look right about it, it was like an eye sore in my eye. His helmet! It was unidentified brand, really beat old lid with the visor complitely missing. Can somebody please tell me why one that rides Ducati and wears Persol doesn’t use proper helmet? This is beyond me. Got $20 head?
