Ron Smith, 66, was heading to a memorial service for another biker in August when he crashed his bike into a trailer attached to a truck
His 62-year-old girlfriend, Brenda Jeanan Volpe, who was a passenger on the bike, was also killed as Smith tried to slow the bike down
It is unclear whether wearing a helmet could have saved the pair, however an autopsy report confirmed both died from blunt head trauma

So sad whether for or against helmet wearing.

Although a good idea and I usually 95% of the time wear a helmet, I do not disagree if someone wants to not wear a helmet.  Much like wearing FULL gear vs. me wearing shorts/tshirt on a cycle 90 percent of the time.  Do what you want is your body.

Certainly Ironic as well as tragic.

We live and die with the choices that we make.

But we should always be free to make our own choices.

    Back in the 70s? I believe I signed petitions to get rid of the helmet Law in Illinois. I NEVER had Any regrets about voiding that law. Even after the law was gone I Still Choose to wear a lid.  Becuz Ladies and Gentlemen ya just Never REALLY know until the kaka hits the revolving air mover. But when yer going down it are Too LATE to put a lid on. May another Bro I never knew Rest in Peace.  RIDE SAFE.
