No helmet also means free meals from passing bugs.I'm in IL, (no helmet laws) And I'm starting to put the ol' brain bucket on."It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when"Nope. Never even laid it down.I'm guessing you never had a bad crash.
I pay too much attention. I dont trust those asshole cage drivers. And fuck squirrels too.
Exactly, there are 2 kinds of bikers, those who have gone down, and those who are going to go down.
And, you don't always see the idiot in the car until it's too late. Had one time where some idiot chick was texting on her phone and ran a stop sign and I broadsided her at about 25 mph.
Another time, I was coming into Durango CO, heading up to Sturgis when some soccer mom damn near ran me over making a left hand turn. My guardian angels were working overtime, because she missed me by only about 3 inches, and I had already done a dodge maneuver to avoid her. The person riding behind me was more shook up than I was, because she thought for sure I was a goner.
You know, I quit wearing a helmet the second I crossed into Arkansas when I transferred to Amarillo, and didn't wear one for the next 10 years, because none of the states I rode in had them. Yeah, kinda foolish I know, but I liked the freedom of letting my hair flap in the breeze.
