That pic always freaked me out, I had that same bike (636) and my lugs became loose and I had to replace the forks on it.

Is there any data to prove that wearing a helmet is better than not wearing a helmet

Have you ever done 'first calls' for a funeral home on motorcycle crashes? Had to use a flat-shovel to get brains off asphalt?

Helmets work. Trust me bro.

I think he was being sarcastic... referring to the PR Dungey thread where the neckbrace/helmet data debate is going on...

It always baffles me why people still continue to ride without helmets, every time I see it in SC it just makes me laugh.

Some people say the same about motorcycles in general, everyone has their own risk adversity level.

I got a concussion while wearing a helmet once so I stopped wearing it. With all the new studies out on concussions including that movie with the Fresh PrInce I'm just not willing to take the risk. I just keep my chin up when I'm crashing.

Thank you!

We don't need any data, it's obvious!

I see this everyday. Folks with no helmet ,wearing shorts with a tank top and no protection on their feet. I will even see rides hauling butt with their helmet still stowed in the helmet lock. I see riders going down the hwy. with no eye protection of any kind .

There is also a law that it is legal to ride in the bed of the truck. But if you are in the cab, you can get a ticket for not having a seatbelt on.

Here is the one that gets me:

Dude is on a Harley with open pipes. Why? Because those loud ass pipes save lives.

Meanwhile, he is not wearing a helmet, he is smoking a cigarette, and is probably leaving one bar and headed to the next.

But we all get to listen to his loud ass bike because that will "save him".


How about this? Ride sober. Put a helmet on. Quit smoking. Wear optic orange or green. You do all that, and I will have a tougher time being concerned with your pipes.

Deal?

Yes!

South Park can be so damn topical sometimes. That episode was right on target.

So was the bus made out of asphalt? That helmet looks like it was skidding along the ground at high speed.
