What's this I see your Cojo Rnzn wearing? Are helmets now in vogue as a result of the accident to I-VIEW or has 'elf and safety arrived in Nepal?
On a serious note, I am not knocking you for your personal preference to not wear one and I accept that wearing one does not make one invincible but personally, for the kind of ops you do and the environment you work in when pushing the flight envelope to its ragged corners every day then I think I would follow Rnzn's example......

Royal Enfield - Taurus
Royal Enfield
Royal Enfield in India was the only manufacturer that has built a diesel motorcycle in mass production. A 6.5 hp industrial diesel was installed in the frame of the British-based Royal Enfield. However, due to pollution laws, this bike is no longer produced. It was one of the most fuel efficient bikes in India returning over 200 mpg-imp (1.4 L/100 km; 170 mpg-US). Initially street mechanics were mounting this engine in used Bullets, like retro Royal Enfield Bikes, with the 350 cc retrofit engine developing 18 hp. On seeing the success of these bikes; Royal Enfield started manufacturing Bullets with the diesel engine and named it the Taurus. The Taurus was available with an Electric Starter. A Saharanpur based company, Sooraj Automobiles produce diesel motorcycles with Royal Enfield gear box fitted with Lombardini 334cc diesel engine, Company advertised fuel efficiency of 80kmpl, and most of them are still in running condition
With competition getting intense, India's oldest motorcycle manufacturing company, Royal Enfield, is exploring newer segments, with the idea of bigger engines and diesel variants.Enfield is planning to bring diesel-powered bikes back into the Indian market, a project for which work is on.
