I've said it before an I'll say it again. The lack of a helmet law is retarded. Do you have a seatbelt law in Hawaii? Are you allowed to use a cellphone whilst driving?

 

Yes we have to wear seatbelt if you sit in the front seats. Cellphone just got banned this year. We are middle of pacific ocean. We are behind on everything

 

So a helmet law is a matter of time? At least you are sensible enough to wear one. How often do you see people without a helmet?

Excuse me for gramaire but I translated all with GOOGLE.

 

Actually...... proper PPE is long sleeve brightly covered shirt, pants, helmet, gloves and over the ankle boots or shoes. If you are wearing a dull colored shirt then you have to wear some sort of reflective piece.

Also our post Command Sergeant Major came back from the Pentigon saying that there was a study done as far as motorcycle accidents. In conclusion regardless of what you are wearing the reflective vest did not enhance the rider. The vest did nothing for the rider. It doesnt help!

 

OH Yeah. That would never fly here. The motorcycle lobby is quite strong in this country, not that they are fighting so much for sport rider rights as much as they are for no helmet wearing harley lovers lol

 

Here, I see more harley guys wear vest but not much helmet, and I would say 80% of sportbike guys wear helmet 5% vest. Vest population is coming from military people, I think

 

I drive a huge WHITE Ford E-350 Super Duty van. It's literally bigger than most Hummers and trucks (unless the owner went ridiculous on the options). I still have people drifting into my lane, trying to make turns in front of me from one lane over and other crap. Me in a neon green vest wouldn't do d!ck.

Best defense for a motorcyclist is their right hand: throttle & brake.


It should be physically impossible not to see my bike at night with the LEDs glowing and breathing and changing color...

Yet some people try to do the impossible at least once a month
