I catches me off guard. I understand the feeling of the wind an all that, but getting out on the interstate on a motorcycle without a helmet is just plain stupid.

You want to ride without a helmet? Do it on the city streets where you barely get up to 45 mph. Even that ain't smart, but you have a chance of living at slower speeds. I-4 is 70 mph most of the way. You wreck without a helmet out there and you're dead.
