Dang after reading all this I'm so shaken up that I am going to put on my helmet and strap myself into my Lazy Boy cause after a few cold ones and some shots I might fall down-LOL.Getting back to the subject here I have been hearing from Family,Doctors for 50+ years how the Murdercycles I have been riding are going to kill me.Life is a risk from the day you are born and if you want to wear a helmet or not is that riders choice.I live in Nevada and have to wear one so I do but wish I had the choice not to also.Now stay safe out here and watch out for those nasty cagers.
