Steve has to wear a helmet, it's the law in CA. Please make it a full face helmet, Steve. Also please wear protective gear. Your scooter goes as fast a small capacity motorcycle and if you fall at any real speed, you could easily damage your pretty face, arms, hands, knees, etc.
We'd all hate to see that! Plus you kind of need all of those in good shape for your type of work. Well, everything except the pretty face.
