Does anyone know if pre-meditation would/could prevent me from prevailing?

I would say pre-meditation... no way that helmet clashes with your bike... hehe!

There is a thing called "contributary negligence" where the court could find you somewhat culpable too. Although you would still prevail, your settlement value might be reduced by the amount they found you contributed to your own injury.

they certainly are not criminal/terrorist organizations or anything along those lines, so there should be no problem if a fellow mc enthusiast wants to protect their melon wearing that particular helmet

Now this thread is about to get interesting
