A friend of mine volunteers for a big city
posse. They do parades and other events and ride a lot on pavement, but
they are considered "out of uniform" if they put on a helmet. Protecting
the public, but not themselves.
"...Is that more a tendency to ride without an helmet on
the west coast?..."
The macho image of the wild west cowboy is alive and
well here in Montana. Lots of folk make all sorts of excuses, but it
always comes down to "I am to macho, someone may think I am a
sissy."
