shanahan Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Hope he is ok, however would he have ridden a motorbike in Australia without a helmet? I see so many skillful, capable and cool looking guys riding with no helmet wearing shorts and singlets in Thailand. They are amazing and show other tourists how good and well adapted they are. Sorry about the rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
