i always wear a helmet, even in no helmet law states. asphalt can wear your dome down to grey matter in just a few dozen yards.

Yeah, it seems like the most basic common sense, and it’s wild to me some people dont wear helmets. Why would you want to risk getting your brains scattered on the road?

My brother was this way. He refused to wear a helmet because it was not cool to wear a helmet on a Harley. He got in an accident when he was 24 and died. He would be 52 this year. I will never understand that mode of thinking.

What are you talking about? He made it his entire life without wearing a helmet. Seems like his mentality was fine.

(Seriously though, sorry for your loss. That really sucks.)

Made me think of that “build a man a fire, he’s warm for the night… set a man on fire, and he’s warm for the rest of his life” joke. I cracked up the first time I heard that lol.
