Both the no-helmet and loud-pipes behaviour seems to be common in the States /w the cruiser faction of biking. Not exclusively though. In my area, it seems to be the middle aged accountants who want to relive Easy Rider on the weekends that are the biggest offenders here.

I chalk it up to 1 part common machismo and 2 parts midlife crisis.
Wild Hogs, I guess. (How's that to bring it back on topic to Blu-ray?)

By the way, former Yamaha FZ700 owner here. And no, never rode it without a helmet, although I did ride it in shorts from time to time.
