OF---I'm not saying that helmets are not good;but all safety devices have their Pros&Cons.Seatbelts save people and they also trap people in burning cars!I know of one Massachusetts
resident who was killed because he had a helmet on.He was sitting;waiting to make a left turn;and a semi rear-ended him and
his head snapped back and his helmet broke his neck.He died.
I know that it sounds"Macho"but I have always said that when its
your turn to buy it;it's your turn.I have SEEN people killed at 25MPH;I have been thrown; in racing accidents; at over 100MPH
and walked away.(not to well)When it's your turn;it's your turn.
I know that you could say that it is your choice to be there in the
first place.If I had it to do over;I would.Life without risks is no fun
to me! Irish
P.S.Let those;who ride; decide!
Leathers are to save skin;not look cool!
