When I was riding triathalons, my trials bike I trained on would get to 40+ mph if I was having a good day. Someone who does it for a living could easily do 45-50+ in spurts. If a bike helmet will protect you from a wipeout at that speed, then it should be fine for a 50cc scooter.

Re: Full Face Helmet

Jesus, this site had me howling! When I heard the banjos cue up, I thought I was gonna pee. I can't believe the IRS will pay someone to produce ethanol. Crazy.

I know that part of the reason for the shell is to skid along the pavement without abrading away the shock-absorbing material. With cyclists generating a lot of internal heat compared to a motorcycle rider, I doubt they could make a lid that would do dual duty and still provide that protection.

He should be thanking his lucky stars it wasn't worse, learning from his mistake and doing his level best to act like the leader society expects him to be. Part of those big dollars is the expectation that with kids looking up to you, you have to behave to a higher standard than your garden variety idiot.



I'm glad he didn't die and if he bucks up and behaves like I expect him to in the wake of all this, then perhaps a bunch of kids will see his newly ugly mug and think twice about riding without a helmet.

I may sound retarded, but who is this Lawrence Grodsky you've quoted from twice now?
