Back in the 60's, 70's and early 80's riding a MC represented the epitome of freedom. And nothing was freer than feeling the wind in your hair on a tour. Don't begrudge a few old riders their wistful memories of fonder days and freer times, before forced helmet use came and ruined it all. Fact is you're going to hear many oldersters to this day say they would choose not to wear a helmet if given the choice. I'm sure some have even gone so far as to move to a state or region where helmet use is not mandatory.
It's like hockey... players from pre-late-70's never wore helmets either. I'm sure many of the olld-time greats would still choose not to wear a helmet, if they could still play that is.
Otherwise, if you want to ride, old-schooler or not, you slap on your brain bucket and make the best of it like the rest. But no harm in a little sentiment now and again.
