TO HELMET, OR NOT TO HELMET THAT IS THE QUESTION
I think that anyone that does NOT wear a helment is very stupid.
[Q=HondaATVfreak]] I always wear my helment. I might take it off to give it to someone else, if they are ridding with me, and we have one helment. Like if some girl is ridding with me, or my sister, or my little brother, I give them the helment, so if I wreck they don't get hurt. I DO!
And I don't put it on to move it out if the garage.

That post was a very good one...who posted that?
Well, ditto!
I don't see why people would rather get hurt than wear a little helment. I don't understand...were is this world coming to????

I've been a FF for about 15 years, haven't seen to many things worse than that.
Great way to change peoples mind about helmets, some of them anyway.

TO HELMET, OR NOT TO HELMET THAT IS THE QUESTION
OK, I heard somebody say that they didn't wear a helmet sometimes because they couldn't hear. I've been riding a while and can hear just fine. Maybe it's diminished a littel bit, but not enough to not wear a helmet. When I want to call bullsh!! on something, I try to back it up. So here it is.
Here is a report that was done. READ through it. Here is the link and one of the opening paragraphs:
Helmet Test
Here is a report that was done. READ through it. Here is the link and one of the opening paragraphs:
Helmet Test
This study assessed the effects of motorcycle helmets upon seeing and hearing by having 50 riders operate over a test route, changing lanes in response to an
audible signal under three helmet conditions: none, partial coverage, and full
coverage. Half of the subjects were assessed for the degree of head rotation
during lane changes, while the other half were assessed for hearing threshold
(decibel level at which they first responded to the signal). Results showed
that subjects in the vison study increased the degree of head rotation in
proportion to the vision restrictions imposed by the helmet, though not to the
full extent of the restriction. Subjects in the hearing study evidenced no
differences in hearing thresholds across the three helmet conditions. The
authors conclude that the effects of helmets upon the ability to see and hear
are, at most, far too small to compromise the safety benefits offered by head
protection.
