Im in Athens right now: most people don't wear helmets and the driving is bloody awful. I had to get the taxi driver to slow down on the way into town from the airport. Lead foot, one-handed, no seatbelt, no mirrors, no fucks given. Mrs Sparky was almost in tears so I had to have a word.
I ride in trainers and jeans, normal jacket and no gloves on the Vespa in town. I know I shouldn't. But I'm rarely over 30mph. I know I shouldn't.
