If you don't like wearing a helmet, move to a non helmet state. The law needs to crack down on texting or talking while driving. When I'm out riding I see 4 out of 10 cars are either talking or texting.. Not wearing a helmet only could hurt me, talking or texting while driving could hurt a lot more people.

Any comments???..

 

Had a a girl veer in my lane while running code 3 in an engine the other day to a MVA-PI; surprisingly caused by a twenty something girl texting. Took 2 1/2 hours to remove tractor trailer from ditch on a two lane.

nope, never have probs with texter

 

Ca has a no cell or text law when driving a vehicle h-ll the cops are on there cell phones. It work as well as a restraining order

 

Yeah, could you please find a more beat to death, boring subject?

 

My personal favorite!

 

I don't know what's worse... Texting, or riding a metric.

 

That cop picture says a lot. Geez.

Anyway, I think most riders who don't like helmets have also never really tried a modern helmet for any legitimate period of time.

I wear a full and prefer it over smaller helmets, and of course, over no helmet at all. It not only protects me better, but simply rides better.

You have to find the right helmet through research and trial and error. And you have to size it correctly and give it some time to break in. (A ton or riders think a helmet is too small, but they take a good month of consistent riding to fit correctly. They don't give it that time, and end up buying one too big that lifts at speed.)

There are so many good options out there, both DOT and Snell approved. They are not like the helmets of 15, 10, or even 5 years ago.

 

Helmet laws don't bother me because I'll law at wear mine. But texting gets my blood boiling...seeing it and talking about it.

And yes, this subject has been brought up a few times.

 

Hehheh. Just a few.

 

Riding without a helmet is about as comfortable as pissing on an electric fence. I have riden throughh half an OCI in the past two weeks. In that time I took a huge stone to the face kicked up by a car, and thousands of bugs. A helmet cuts through the wind better than a face does too. Anyone who puts any kind of miles on a bike KNOWS riding is more comfortable with a helmet than without. If someone says riding 800-1000 miles a day without one is enjoyable either has not done it, or enjoys licking that electric fence after pissing on it.
