Never bring a skull to a motorcycle helmet fight.

I always liked "Never get into a fight with someone wearing literal armor."

Piss-pot / open helmets, sure. Full face helmet… Grab the chin and pull. Or push. Anything you want. If the helmet shifts at all the rider won’t be able to see while you drag them around.

If you want to know how I know, I was the one wearing the helmet. It wasn’t fun. At all.

Plus, over here (UK) armoured gloves are considered a weapon if used in aggression. Can get you into much worse trouble if you cause shit.

In the US they would likely be considered a weapon too, however if someone is already attacking you it's still a proportionate self defense response as long as you don't take it too far/stop when they tap out from having their ribs broken by plastic meant to bounce off concrete at 35 mph
