In 1983 I completely destroyed a helmet after wading up my kz750 in a corner on Rt 112 in New Hampshire. I was awakened during the ambulance ride to the sensation of the EMT trying to get the thing the rest of the way off. Without it, I doubt I would writing this. Other than a really sore back, I was 100% with in two weeks.



I was traveling several miles faster(say 40 or so) than the 14 MPH mentioned as the design limit in this news story.



I have never since then put butt to seat without first strapping my lid in place. Prior to that I often world ride without it.



But hey, to each their own. If ya want to ride san skid lid, go for it.



Perhaps some extra/special insurance is the answer to all of the arguments over this issue.



So long as it doesn't cost me anything I'm all for this freedom. Mostly I'm sick and tired of trying to convince the hopelessly stupid that helmets are truly a good idea.



Hey, if your widow is hot, I'll fix her up with one of my Bros.

Take care LR, your making sense here! Put in simplest terms this is very logical. If it happens my only hope would be to strap a "Farm Use Only" sign to my bikes and keep right on riding.



As with most things, there are factions out there who would like nothing more than to see your idea become reality.



Which makes me wonder, is there anywhere in the world that has taken this step?

Amen!



Hey, you sound a lot like my mom!
