I have this titanium plate put in by the govt. Do I still need to wear a helmet?
Cousin Eddy.

 

You know, they call them cagers for a reason... so maybe "they" don't talk about it because "it" doesn't make sense?

 

Because it's against the law. The reason states give is they block or limit vision, they limit hearing and may be hot or tiresome making drivers less attentive.

 

Yeah but we know that's bullshit. Helmets save lives on motorcycles and would in cars too. No way is anyone going to want to mess up their hair on the way to work though. Car drivers don't want it and unlike motorcycle riders, car drivers are in the majority.

 

Uh, I have an advanced science degree and was a consultant to the Department of Energy. What are your qualifications to speak about physics?

 

A heavier helmet would increase the mass, but I'm still waiting for you to reference the study that determined that it was the extra weight that killed him. Your argument is like saying that the biker that broadsided a cement truck while the biker was doing 120 mph was killed because he was going 120 instead of 110. He would probably have died even at 60 mph.

 

Wear what you like, but just don't make my rates go up any higher please.

 

We can no longer say, "it's my head, my choice," because the insurance companies now own our heads, too.

 

Ut OH. Looks like the measuring tape is about to come out.

 

Yeah, that and they have to wear seatbelts and have airbags.
