Haha, it was quite an experience. I'm glad I had it, though, I learned, and continue to learn, a lot about myself and the world from the ordeal.
Nope, no helmet. I think I'll probably wear one on now until I get comfortable with motorcycles, but in general, helmets aren't my thing.
@modprobe I may squid but I always wear a helmet/gloves. I've seen nasty spills and hit my head learning to stunt. Thankful for the helmets protection and I think they just look bad ass! Glad to hear you will wear one for awhile at least!
