The Essence of it All: Quadtards, and why dirt bikers hold us in such high esteem

DesertViper · #1 07-01-2009, 08:55 PM

Found this post over on Thumber Talk, and felt that it did a pretty good job of explaining why dirt bikers hold us in such high esteem (being sarcastic here). Its the helmets. You virtually never see a dirt biker without a helmet on, but with ATVs it is far too common to see a rider without a helmet. Irregardless of whether you feel a helmet is needed or not, other people are going to think quad riders are "Quadtards" if they see you riding without a helmet. So don't be a Quadtard. Be safe, wear a helmet, and don't let any of these videos happen to you.

LOL,what do they think of Harley riders?

YouTube - Harley wheelie

I really could care less what anyone thinks about whether I wear a helmet or not,but I do think its aggravating having to drag dirt bikes when they cant go where I can.

I always say and think, "if your not wearing a brain basket, there can't be much to save" JMO

The only thing I tell people who choose not to wear a helmet is "make sure your organ donor card is signed."

Some of those were so freaking hard to watch. My gosh there are a lot of really stupid people out there, helmets or not. Stupid Stupid People.

Harley riders without helmets are quadtards as well.

To each their own. The website you refer to does a great job of trashing everything related to ATV's. I am not knocking the site but I do not utilize it. For the record I do wear a helmet everytime I ride and I do not spend time critizing bikers and would expect the same.

I just now actually read the post and watched the vids that is linked in the first post itt,its nothing to do with helmets at all,just that ATV riders are idiots whether they have a helmet on or not.

A couple of pages later there is some helmet talk then this vid.click the banner at top of vid box to view.
