[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 2217299, member: 239"] Been riding for 42 years. had 3 accidents. Of the 3 accidents two were because I was young, stupid and drunk. The other was gravel on the road combined with a sharp curve and high speed. Helmet saved my life on that one and made no difference the other two times. In all that time I've never had an accident involving a car when I was riding. Have I been lucky? I think not. When on the road I ride like I've got a big ole bullseye on my back and every cage on the highway is aiming to run over it. Stay as far away from the cages as you can and don't give the 'tards driving one a chance to hit you. Don't tailgate, don't ride in a blind spot. Always watch (depending on the lane you're in) the left or right front tire of the car in the next lane over - it'll tell you even before the driver knows where he's going. Don't get into pissing contests with car drivers they will always win - always. Leave the macho at home and tuck your nuts in. Do all that and you'll live a lot longer on a bike. There's lots more to surviving on a bike but that short list covers most of the really important stuff. That said: Don't wanna wear a helmet, knock your self out and don't. Your choice. Just keep in mind when you make that choice how it might impact those around you. You won't suffer - you'll be DEAD! But they will. [/QUOTE]
