in enjoyment of the things we like to do... no riding around in the back of pickups say.

My son gave me a BMW motorcycle and I fixed about everythintg I could so that all that was left was to ride the damn thing. I quit riding before there was a helmet law here in the peoples republic of california...

How much does the helmet take away from the experiance? Well.. the first one I borrowed was a full head one and it was about like killing 50% of the whole riding experiance... I bought a "novelty" helmet (looks legal but is just a light shell) and that wasn't/isn't too bad... only kills about 25% of the experiance of riding... even at that... it is a pain to drag around and... what if you want to give someone a ride? Am I suppossed to cary another stupid helmet around? silly crap.

It's BS to force someone to wear a helmet. Why not force all people to wear helmets in cars?

Maybe force automakers to install roll bars and crash cages in all cars.

I think what Nilsen is trying to say is that and severe head injury Lazs may incure at this juncture may in fact be an inprovment.

I was sure that nilsen had taken note that I had rode for 25 years and been in several accidents without ever getting a head injury.

I assumed that he meant that when you are as good looking as I am that you tend to not allow your head to smack into stuff.

Wish I had been wearing some kinda helmet on my legs and arms tho a few times.
