Helmets

[Ken]

I want to RE NOTE I never siad wearing a helmet was a bad thing...

I never got that impression.

[Crash Anderson]

I'm not about to not wear a helment all the time but am curious what the law is.

Wow, boys are dumb, you really do need a helmet. Put it this way, don't wear a helmet, get the ticket, just don't bitch when you have to pay for your stupidity.

When did you become the safety police?

You probably LOVE the gov. making all your choices for you it sure makes your life easy doesn't it sheep?

Don't tell me I'm dumb, and don't think for a second I wont own up to my actions.

Hey Todd,
Despite the norm I also do not like the helmet. I wear it, gloves, jeans, and steel toed boots when I ride at home in Ohio or Kentucky. But when I am cruising the scenery out west somewhere I do not wear it. I guess when it comes down to the law, I will have to oblige the rules and wear it. Unfortunately it takes away from the scenery and it makes my hair all messy but I might just have to change my mind.
Take Care

you seem accident prone

(Note: only giving you a hard time)

You talkin to me? No not me. I don't have to land on my head to know I don't want to. And don't get me wrong, I am not a safety freak. I only wear a 3/4 helmet and work boots for safety equipment. My wife and I were riding a nice wide easy safe forest road on our last ride. Just as we were approaching a turn a motorcycle comes around the corner pretty fast and mostly on our side of the road. He starts waving because his buddy is not far behind him and it was going to be close with my wife at the curve. You don't have to be doing something wild to have an accident happen. It's just that there is no "restart" or do overs when it comes to massive head injury.

(Note: hard time returned)

Truthfully, I agree.

I fear more for myself due to other idiots ON the road and OFF. Morons flying by and not looking scare me more than I could ever "oh shit!" myself

I'm really a big safety freak but the ride from Ellis Creek to the Slabs as an example I have no problem not wearing a helmet.. go slow, go easy and it's not a hard ride I enjoy smelling fresh air not hair!

So I take it you won't be joining us in the Rubicon Trail Patrol??

Never said that.

I'm in search for a smaller less obtrusive helmet.

When is this rubicon trail patrol? I think I may go riding up there again this weekend.

That's only when he is drinking

[cajungal64]

With that face....No one would notice the difference!! Just Kidding! And Mr. Bill... Keith NEVER drinks and rides!! I still can't imagine WHY we had all those pit stops along our ride last weekend!!

Don't worry Crash Dawling....I fully admit being a dumb boy. But I wear a full face helmet...even rock crawling.

A) I've seen too many happen doing nothing, going over seemingly nothing

B) It happens in a FLASH

C) I LOVE....my teeth!

D) I solved the hair issue...first by washing it and my helmet....then the final solution...Shaved it. Would never go back now!
