RJ, you're so right. My HD riding neighbor down the street and his wife swore they'd never wear one. That is until one night coming back from Tampa, there was some road construction encountered. Doing about 60, his entire group came to the end of the pavement and hit the gravel bed. That's just where the workers had stopped for the day and didn't leave any warnings up. If in a car, just would have been a good jolt going over the gravel for about 50 yds., then more pavement. On a bike, the front wheel dug in slightly and down he went along with four others. Messed up his head pretty good along with a few bones elsewhere. The following week, his wife sold her bike and went back to playing golf every day. He now wears a helmet.
I've said it before and will say it again in response to those that say a helmet is too restrictive: A helmet for a few hours is a lot less constraining than a wheelchair for the rest of your life....assuming you have one!
10-04 on that John.
I got a call about 10 minutes ago that y youngest son's SO laid her bike down. Luckily no one hurt, but he is coming after my trailer, she will not tide it home, she also says she will never ride it again.
It is a little 350 Rebel, told her to bring it over here and I'll ride it.
We will see how that turns out. I might just own another bike. I'm going to be insurance poor on motors. Progressive is the only Company who will wrap all motors up under 1 policy, but, I refuse to do business with Progressive. So, each motor has it's own policy, all with the same coverages.
