Some old guy cut this rider off, so he threw his helmet at him. A bit excessive, no?

I don't really do anything other than shake my head at idiot drivers when they cut me off. By the time I've had enough time to process what just happened, I'm already long gone.

His story sounds like nonsense and I don't believe it. If it's true that means he set out on a long ass journey with no gloves, b/c it's nearly impossible to get a helmet off without gloves anyways, much less throw a helmet that hard while riding to do any damage.
I call BS...

Yeah, that's true Dave. My boyfriend can put his helmet on with gloves no problem, but I don't know about taking it off.

if you were almost hit on your bike, wouldnt you be glad you had your helmet on? poor gixxer forum strikes again,

I can totally take my helmet on and off but i wear thin gloves, usually dirtbike gloves.  I know some of the AGVs have a little clip that is super easy to take on and off??

BS or not, still just stupid and isnt going to prove any kind of point to someone that old.

That's just rediculous. Some people just don't know what an adult decision is anymore.
