Those stats are always misleading, for example one year in Daytona the death count included drunken bikers falling off hotel balconies and guys wearing leather who were run over on cross walks by AARP members.



Frankly, given the amount of liquor consumed and testosterone present I'm surprised 100's don't die!



BTW, after they repealed the helmet law in Florida, the next Daytona meet had a lower casualty rate than the preceeding helmeted ones....go figure!

Take that knife out of my belly!! You're callin' me KPaul? I'm the anti KPaul (well, assistant really since Longrider is the real anti KPaul)



Anyhoo, I'm not commenting on the usefulness of helmet laws, merely reporting the facts.



I wear my helmet when commuting on my sports bike, I tend not to wear my helmet when putting around the mountains on my cruiser.

Heh, mostly, as in when we get their heads out of their full-face helmets they always look great.
