I quite dislike this.

I quite like that you dislike it ... but personally, I do dislike it too

As opposed to nazi helmets?

What? Why is that the opposite of a helmet with ears?

I find assholes riding around with Nazi helmets something to dislike.

It had meaning 1945-50, but it means something very different since then.

All The Gear, All The Time With Awful Taste But Great Execution

An old friend I used to ride with would often scratch his helmet as if to scratch his head all the time. I would often forget that he did this and I would honestly think he was scratching his head .... then realize several minutes and several miles down the road that he's wearing a freakin helmet. If he wore this kind of helmet AND scratched his head, I would have died laughing as I rode off the highway and into the bushes.

I need the Thanks, I Hate It gif.

Amazing, truly horrible. A+

Ears on helmets were common in the 1920's but the Nazis almost wiped them out. It's only been in the last 10 years or so that they're finally starting to make a comeback.
