D 80, our prayers are w/ your friend and family... Ripp'n

 

i never go out without my lid. only maybe to take a spin around the parking lot after working on it. hell, i bought a jacket and helmet 4 months before i got my bike. i have a blue and white helmet with the joe rocket GSXR jacket(i was going to get a gsxr) i still dont give a damn, they might laugh, but i will still have skin on my body.

my brother died in a bicycle accident 9 years ago. he was broadsided by a truck and if he had been wearing a helmet, he would have lived. WEAR YOUR HELMETS AND BE CAREFUL. the moto gods are with us, but sometimes they fall asleep.

 

Do not like riding w/o helmet, see the guy's w/ little bowl's on there head's look's self defeating to me [:'(]

 

i used to be one of them guys who never wore my helmet too, until one night when i didnt ride- (thank god), one of my guys went down .he called me from the hospital and told me his helmet saved his life and that he actually FELT the impact of his helmet hitting the ground. been a believer ever since! actually got sick when i saw his gear and helmet

 

I'm sorry, but that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

 

This one's my personal favorite:

"13. it's a pain in the *** to clean the bugs off. "

Uh huh, it's MUCH easier picking the bugs out between your teeth than wiping them off a face shield!

 

How can you possibly ride the freeway/highway or what ever you guys call it over there without a helmet. Here in England we call it the motor way. I wear ear plugs in addition to my helmet to protect my ears. If I dont my ears are ringing and I feel like I been in a club with a bad sound system, and no its not a cheapo helmet its an Arai RX7. It is compulsory for us to wear helmets here in the UK. But I always wear a helmet, Boots, armour jacket leather or textile and a back protector, might not always be your fault.
