True Love?

I've noticed a lot of young male motorcyclists on my commute recently. First, I think it is pretty senseless to ride a "crotch-rocket" wearing shorts, and t-shirt, and no helmet. But what really bothers me is the number of these hot-shots that have their girlfriends/wives riding on the back with no helmet or protective clothing. If you truly love these women, why would you subject them to your non-sense? (yes, I know, the women have free will and don't have to get on the bike).
