So what are your thoughts on this?
Me?
I think I could have saved $600 and spent it on something more useful :neener


New helmet or no helmet argument - Harley Davidson Forums

 

[bigstove]

interesting argument

 

[kevin_stevens]

If helmets were so damned helpful you'd think the deer would start wearing them.

[scatterbrained]

damn deer didn't jump high enough huh?

 

[Optimus Leo]

LOL @ the entire topic.

That is why I'm not a firm believer of respecting older people, because they're instantly "wiser" than us kids just because of age.

"Oh hey if I had been wearing I helmet I would be awaken and feeling all the pain, it is better to be brain dead and don't feel anything at all"

 

[kevin_stevens]

We're not necessarily wiser, but we do recognize sarcasm better.

That is why I've been understanding more jokes as I grow up :boink

BTW, I LOVED this comment:

How did I ever survive my childhood without a bicycle helmet? Seriously though, this is a choice you have to make and hopefully will have some choice in the future. I feel comfortable with a half helmet, but some want to dictate that you wear a full face helmet. Where does it stop. [email protected], NASCAR requires a full face helmet in a cager.

LOL NASCAR seems to be the only racing they watch...no wonder the AMA/DMG wants to do the nascarfication of american superbike racing nfloor

 

[kevin_stevens]

Well, to be fair there's not a lot of other closed-car racing shown. Everything else on TV is open-cockpit.

I have a 3/4 helmet I use for autocross.

"I'll always wear a helmet but damn it pisses me off that the government tells me to wear one"

some how i knew i would see something like that in that forum

 

[bimmerx2]

I wonder just how heavily some of those guys drink before they post (we already know the answer about drinking before a ride). The OP is the only one that seems remotely lucid and that post is actually SUPPOSED to be sarcastic.

 

[Stick N Move]

So hes saying that he missed out of all the pain because he was wasnt wearing a helmet that caused him to go into a coma for almost a month? I would tough through the pain and would personally like to be concious. And I thought Harley Riders were supposed to be tough badasses just like me

 

[dturpen]

If he was wearing a full face helmet, he wouldn't have suffered hardly any of the head injuries. How is that not an argument for wearing a helmet? Sure, he still would've had all those other injuries, but at least he wouldn't have broken his FACE!

Well, Speed channel does show 90% of NASCAR...even Speed Latin America.

I find it funny that they haven't heard of F1, heck even Indy...only NASCAR. I think stereotypes exist for a reason lol.

I always use a full face even when racing a cage...I guess it goes back to my karting childhood. I just love full face lids. Also it helps to hide my ugly self

 

[inpayne]

I think I look pretty bad ass in my suit and full face helmet. So that's why I wear it

jk but I hate the wind so full face helmet is awsome.

 

[Stick N Move]

Agree, the wind is great at 25 and under but after that I cant stand having the visor up unless I got sunglasses. Which are really just a hassle to tote around anyway when you switch often.

Yea, that was good. I agree with him, I mean, I'm morally opposed to taking another human's life and all, but god damn, it really burns my bridges that the Government has made it illegal!

Interesting comment, but consider the source - it's from someone who was hit on the head so hard they were unconscious for a month...

Bike + cool helmet = female attention. Once the helmet is off though it's a different story. I've considered including my helmets as a part of my daily attire.

Hint: Indy and F1 are open cockpit.

I've considered wearing my helmet while driving the car just to screw with people.
