You don't need a helmet or leathers, just flex really hard before you hit pavement, it works for me...

 

just responding to my teammate mayer-z thread about wastin helmets. he made it sound like no big deal two arais and a soumy...ask him about what his wife said about that spent $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
i quess his email site wasn't a clue to what she was getting into...it start big crasher
don't worry mayers tucker rocky should be having a close out soon or just sell casey that ltz400 you'll be able to get a new one

 

I always wear my ****, always!!

 

Yeah, that pic on rotten.com is nasty! I think the name of it is "Nothing Comes Between Me and My Harley".

Something I never thought would happen did a couple years ago... I hit a racoon @35 mph, tankslapped, and slid about 60 feet, face down, on U.S.1 (from the souveneir skids I left on the asphalt). The damned face, chin, and forehead area on my Arai scraped off and cracked.

I'm glad that wasn't my face - I want to look decent in the coffin if this sport eventually kills me.

The only time I haven't worn one is in stop & go traffic on Main Street during Bike Week; and I know that's still no excuse.

That retard from Jersey riding a wheelie on the highway just proves Darwin correct - Survival of the fittest. He's probably too stupid to be around with us for another 20 years! Which is sad, because there are probably a few people out there that really want him around!

 

PLAIN AND SIMPLE A HELMET WILL SAVE YOUR ***! I LOOPED A HIGH CHAIR AND IT SCRAPED AND CRACKED MY HELMET AND DESTROYED A JOE ROCKET JACKET! (I HIT REALLY HARD) BUT BECAUSE OF THE HELMET AND JACKET I WAS UP HOBBLING TOWARD MY BIKE B4 IT STOPPED SLIDING! A CHEAP HELMET WILL BE UNCOMFORTABLE AND RESTRICTING, BUT WITH A GOOD ONE YOU CAN SEE, HEAR AND IT DOESNT GET QUITE SO HOT. I WAS WEARING JEANS SO I MESSED UP MY HIP, KNEE, AND BROKE MY BIG TOE. BUT AT LEAST MY BRAINS WERE NOT SPREAD ALL OVER THE ROAD.

 

I would rather be annoyed and sweaty than have no face or be dead!

 

I will admit when I had my Harley I rode helmetless, but on my rocket i always wore a helmet and that god that I was smart enough to do so. I wasn't stunting, or f*ckin' off I was riding home and a woman ran a stop sign and t-boned my ***, I was lucky to survive and the helmet saved my life.

 

Lets think about it this way....when you crash and hit your head (dont worry, if you havent yet...you will!) would you rather spend $500 on replacing a nice shiney Arai....or would you rather spend $15,000 repairing that pretty little head of yours, if you survive.

I got hit by a car 2 years ago and the ER doctor said I wouldnt have a face right now if I wasnt wearing it...that was enough for me. The only times I have not worn my lid was going 5mph down the strip in Myrtle Beach.

 

personally i like the wind on my face and being able to hear and see more stuff, but I hate chrome domes, they make me feel like a dork, so I rock dirtbike helmets....best of both worlds


I dont ride on the street very often by the way

 

What about just flipping your lid up??

 

when you mousetrap like i currently have an affinity for doing sometimes, your lid gets slammed in your face occasionally, besides someone painted a bike in my garage and didnt cover up my helemt and got overspray all over the lid and now u cant see out of it


smartypants carmen!!!

 

OR WHY DONT I JUST SAVE ALL MY MONEY AND WEAR THIS DIRTBIKE HELMET THAT I TOOK OF THAT KID ON A CR 80 WHO WAS RIDING BACK IN THE WOODS BY MY HOUSE!!!!

 

Yeah you can do that too!!lol Poor kid what about him>??? You should feel ashamed of yourself..:devil

 

this summer will be my third year riding, the first i rode all by myself, didn't wreck, didn't see a wreck, last year i made tons of friends with bikes, and unfourtunatly i saw 4 of them wreck, 3 on the expressway. 2 had helmets on and despite wrecking at 85 and hitting the back of a car at 105 the lids never even touched the ground. the other got cut off by a car with no lid, and got 11 stitches and 15 staples in his head. yea that looks cooler than not wearing a helmet. i wear one even when its 98 with %100 humidity in chi-town. most of the time its not you, its the *** on the cell phone in the car. just my

 

how fast was the later guy going?

 

he was only doing about 65 or 70 but like the guy who hit the back of a car, the car cut across 3 lanes no signal, probably didnt even look, but his front tire got snagged under the bumper and flipped the bike, and 'ol girl on the back on top of him, the bandana didn't help. again just my

 

i hope he got a nice fat check for those permanent scars

 

I'VE SEEN ALOT OF MY RIDIN' BUDS GET TOSSED OF AND THE ONLY THING BETWEEN THEM AND THE PAVEMENT IS THERE HELMETS. SO I LEARNED A LONG TIME AGO THAT IF I WAS GOING TO KEEP ENJOYING MY BRAIN AND MY BIKE THAT A GOOD HELMET WAS THE ONL WAY TO GO.
