Default Helmet from now on for me

I will be wearing a helmet from now on after seeing my dad wipe out. We were riding threw town saturday when some dumbass slams on brakes to make a left on a two lane road . I was able to get stopped but his front tire locked up and he lost control and lucky for him he came off the bike and slide down the road . The bike ( 2008 superdlide) wasn't so lukcy it slide into the back of the truck and we're pretty sure that its totaled. We weren't wearing helmets but no broke bones or head injuries just some bad road rash we were very very lucky

Michigan just got rid of the helmet law but I still ALWAYS wear mine.
I dont see why its such a big deal for people to not.
My helmet does not bother me at all.

You guys had a guardian angel looking out for you that day. No helmet accidents are almost always fatal... A tip of the hat to your new found dedication.

Glad to hear everyone is ok. I wear mine religously. I would rather not wear it, but i've had too many close calls this year.
