First official shot of Salty heading home with his new bike (and bags of mulch).
Hopefully his neighbor's wife can control herself watching all of that man candy rolling into the neighborhood.

Doesn't really inconvenience anyone much if he skips a helmet.... in fact it's a lot easier that way since the EMT's can clean up his remains with a hose!

Helmet makes the head easier to find. Specially if you get a vibrant coloured one.

Getting food and drinks before I pick it up. If I die I want to die happy!!!

I did all that same kind of stuff on ski's and never ever wore a helmet either but I wouldn't dream of riding a motorcycle without one. (I also had a zero-alcohol policy on 2 wheels)
It seriously is exponentially more dangerous in terms of potentially getting dead. (although skiing/boarding with a helmet is a dang good idea too!)

It's true, there is no car to run you over on the slopes. My buddy lost his foot after a semitruck crossed 2 lanes of traffic trying to get to a missed exit. He slid under the truck and his foot got ground right off under his bike. But he was wearing a helmet and leathers and is pretty healthy otherwise 20 years later. He'd have been dead or a vegetable without the helmet instead of just missing a foot.

I have a dozen+ solidly gruesome (to varying degree's) stories of bad things that happened to people I know/knew on bikes dating back to high school.
All I can say is that it's AMAZING the amount of punishment the rest of your body can survive with your brain intact especially wearing full protective gear.

Your first stop should be to a lawyer's office to make a will. Just in case.
It may well be too late for that!

Jedi already claimed his stuff. I'm pretty sure that's legally binding on ATOT.

The suspense is "killing" me. Hopefully the wife and kid following him are taking a video.
