True... a friend of mine's husband is laid up due to a pelvic/hip bone being shattered in a motorcycle accident here in town... someone turned in front of him. He will be laid up for 6-8 weeks in a nursing home because he is too big for her to care for in their home... we have helmet laws, so he was wearing one. But I realize that if given the choice, most do not.

She looked very happy - that is so cool - my stepdaughter rides a motorcycle and loves it. I have only ridden dirt bikes on our own property. Good for her combining two loves.

This is fantastic! Speaking as a biker, helmets should be a choice,enough said ;)
As the Harley quote says,"if I have to explain you wouldn't understand"

Sometimes I wear one and sometimes I don't.....

I lost one of my best friends in a motorcycle accident. She was 22. Please tell her to wear a helmet. My friend was only going three blocks from her home.

I just got back from Ohio where helmets are not required it was so strange to see people riding without one!! My cousin would be dead except for his helmet and he was only 1/4 mile from home. As it was he was in a coma for 3 weeks I vote for a helmet!!

Helmet???? Can't decide about that. I would probably not wear one. I guess I would rather be an organ donor and dead, than to be alive and have scrambled eggs in my head.

Love it! But I cannot imagine riding without my helmet, jacket, boots, gloves. Even when it's hot. Just because there's not a law doesn't mean you should do anything less than the very most you can, to ride safely.
