You obviously love biking!

I too love biking, but do not care as much as you do as to what others think of me. No towel for me to catch the drips of gunk. No "excuse me" attitude when I start the bike. I'll brush my hair to get it back into shape before going into an office but I will not apologize for my leathers. Of course I will take them off but I'm proud of my leathers.
Bikes are in fact more at-risk than any "cage" driver. A minor bump in the night in a car can be fatal on a bike. I am going to be seen by cars, and if they hear my muffler, that is OK too.

Ride Safe, &, I hope you can see my points.
