Just a bunch of bull being passed on by someone that has probably never been down hard and rides a bagger.

I don't wear a helmet unless I want to hear my tunes at highway speeds or because I feel like it, and I d@mn sure don't need some geaser on a geaser ride feeding me crap like it's fact.

I have been down multipul times when I was into sport bikes where because I had a fulface helmet on I still have a face and the ability to grow hair on all of my head.

Only point I disagree with, was the statement that Dale Earnhardt died cuz of his helmet.

If you have gone down hard, you know the truth.

This guy is all about his bad boy image and full of himself.

I wouldn't take his advice any more than I would one of those self righteous TV preachors.....

My son went down last Easter at about 50mph. I have seen the helmet that he was wearing. Without it, he probably would not have made the call to tell me about the accident.

I think that a more pressing issue is making it illegal to talk on a cell phone while driving EVERYWHERE. It seems that every time that some idiot changes lanes into me or some other stupid move, they are always talking on the dang phone!

The subject of drinking and driving is brought up in the video and it sort of infers that bikers don't.....

The stuff he said in the end was ploy to to validate his argument. Drinking and driving, cell phones, Ron White getting a highway delight has nothing to do with wearing a helmet. If he was some kinda expert I may agree but he is not. I don't think I would be here today if my dad had not made me wear a helmet when I was a kid.
