Hey Trip, it get's better. This thread was started a year ago and somebody dug it up!

Oh ****, not another helmet thread if the poor rider in the original post would have learned how to control his bike with the rear wheel locked up, he would have not gone down in the first place. I've had my rear wheel locked up several times at speeds from 60 mph to 25 mph and have never lost control or gone down.

Even DOT standards are a total joke.
Want to protect your head for real?
You need to own a "Snell Memorial Foundation" approved helmet.

The pro bike racers use back and neck protection so that helmet do not kill them. I don't seevery many of the protection on the road. All I see is people with there bike as yard art that don't know how to ride think that helmet is a do all in protection. think twice about that.

Helmet.....Dont wear one but have one for when I go out of state,had a friend killed when he hit the oak tree his helmet didnt help and another broke his neck because it got hung up on his mirror(full face),he hit the back of a car and the mirror got caught in the helmet and snapped his neck......
Seatbelt.......If I would of hadit on in 78 I would of been crushed in the car we rolled,ended up with the side of my face caved in,12" of 28 gauge wire and cosmedic(spl)surgery and well Iam better now...At least Iam alive....
I beleave it should be up to the person to deside if they want to wear a helmet or not and as far as seatbelts go.....Ive been wearing one since 83 when my daughter was born....

Seriously 3power, you've made that comment a few times and I'd say the exact same thing could be said about the pro-helmet guys popping into the novelty helmet threads.....if you look at both sides subjectively.....it's all about perspective.

For example, most people I've read here who wear a helmet are just stating some plain facts. Mostly they are for freedom of choice. I for one would just like people to make an INFORMED choice based on FACTS, not on propaganda devised to further the interests of what have almost become political parties, and that do nothing but trick people who might choose differently (one way or another, it doesn't matter) to make a choice they are made to believe is in their interest.
Unfortunately, when something gets political, facts and reality tend to be overwhelmed by factoids, propaganda and silly debates based on dialectic and rethoric tricks rather than on an unbiased and rational analysis of reality.
