I've ridden with and without a helmet. In AZ I never wore a helmet. I felt it was just too damn hot and I enjoyed the open air.

I moved to PA and started wearing a helmet. I don't have to, but I CHOOSE to. PA doesn't have mandatory helmet laws.

Why do I wear one now? Not sure. Probably for a few reasons. One being I'm not single anymore and my actions affect the people around me. I have plenty of insurance so I wouldn't be a "tax burden", but I have a house payment that requires both of use to be working among other things. If I whack my head and can only drool for a living it would effectively turn my wife's world to crap. So I wear a helmet and protective gear every time to decrease my chances of severe injuries. Least I can do, really.

One of the things I've found from wearing a helmet is that it greatly reduces fatigue. My face doesn't feel as beaten up and wind burned after a day of riding. But there is something about going helmetless. You tend to grin more when accelerating and you feel the speed hitting your face.

As far as mandatory helmet laws go; I am against them and will always be against them. There is no stat, study, survey, or claim that will ever change my mind.

Don't care about the supposed tax burden. If you want tax relief than focus on an efficiently running government.

I don't know. I think most of the hardcore helmet Nazis left. They don't like freedom of choice and they don't like forum change.

Whoa, there. It wasn't a "claim". I said I "felt" it was too hot. I didn't say it was a scientific fact. So there was nothing there for you to "buy".

Fact is if you don't want to wear a helmet I couldn't care. Rode without and I ride with one now. I've seen and heard people die and get f'ed up with a helmet and I've seen and heard people make it out without one.

It shouldn't be mandatory. Period.

The tax burden claim is bulsh!t and insurance companies will use something else to justify rate increases.

The more people b!tch about wanting helmet laws to be mandatory the more I want to ride without one.

Right now I have a strong need to pick up smoking, drive a big ass car, and have a strict diet that contains only meat from only the cutest looking animals.

And some will say (not I) that you are stupid for not wearing leather at all times as mesh is less "safe"/durable.

And that is where legislation gets sticky. At what point does it stop. If helmets are now mandatory throughout the country and a study comes out later that states riders are safer if wearing all leather gear, does that than become the next item that is debated? Will the insurance companies use that as an excuse to raise rates because uninsured riders wrecked and had a larger than needed bill due to the fact they weren't wearing leathers?

History tells us “yes”.

Don't make me delete you for going off topic






Kidding.

No, no, no. The government is good for you. Go to the government. Trust the government. The government knows best.

If you fear government involvement you are paranoid.

The government should limit all bikes to a speed no greater than 65mph. You don't need to go faster than that. If you disagree you will be sited for antisocial behavior and an ankle monitor will be provided to monitor your movement and fat intake.

Hey There jimmy bob! I just checked on the internets. Helmet laws still suck.

Helmets prevent Global Warming.

You don't give a hoot, do you?

I work from home and only drive about 5-10 mile a week.
I don't use city water (well).
I have over 120 energy efficient bulbs in the house.
We have an energy efficient washer and dryer.
My house is 267 years old and made of field stone, horse hair and mud(if that isn't recycling, I don't know what is)
All of our vegetables are from local markets.
Most of our meat and poultry is from the local butcher and ranches.
We have a compost mound to cut down on garbage waste.
We are installing two wood burning stoves in August to cut down on oil consumption by 75%.
We will be installing Geothermal Heating/Cooling in the next 5-10 years (sorry, it's a bit expensive)

And, no, I do not believe in Global Warming. I do more than 70-80% of the population in terms of being efficient when it comes to daily consumption, but yet, I am still "dumb" for not believing in Global Warming".

Figures.

Well, I DO give a hoot. I always hoot the enviro-nuts. 90% of whom use more electricity than I do. I have some solar power, you see.

I just don't give a f()ck.

I've been looking into some wind power. Some do-it-yourself kits. We get a good amount of wind here. Do I think it will reduce my energy bill greatly? Probably not.

But, if I can get that working I will set up a large scale version on the land in Northern Arizona. I get more wind over there.

Lame Attempts at Getting Webhits via Typos or URL Guessing:

Home Page
Motrcycle

What a riot...

Actually I changed his URL to MO's site and I was the one that inserted the "my lame attempt..." title. It originally went to some Blog.

Hilarious edit there, B-Bar, ROFLMAO. But you have to leave the original link! How can we mock and humiliate the poster if we don't have the material to work with? Remember Moderators: with awesome power comes awesome responsibility.

I figured, why delete them when you can make fun of them.

In regards to removing the link, I'm always skeptical of spam links. It could easily lead to a virus or spyware. Besides, some people rely on traffic alone to aid in their google ad income that they have placed on their site.

If only you'd have used your powers for good instead of evil..............

Evil is more fun.
