    Wear your F'ing helmet!

    We lost yet another local rider, with spring quickly approaching just wanted to throw a reminder to ride safe and protect yourself. You never know what can happen in an uncontrolled environment.

    I don't understand why bikers don't wear helmets. 90% of the time you look cooler with a nice helmet anyways!

    My girlfriend who rides with me, not very often even, just laid down $400 on a new shoei rf1000. Be smart guys...$400 for a nice helmet is worth it, and you'll wish you bought one if you went down.

    That's tragic, and horrible. My sympathies to the victim, his family, and friends.

    "...going too fast, and lost control"

    was he full throttle too fast? or just going like 5-10 over I wonder?

    Well over half the riders i see dont wear helmets.

    Many others wearing shorts and sandals. Gf on the back with the same.

    These people have zero brains. Maybe thats why they dont "need" a helmet.

    I got it on ebay. I tried a few on first, to make sure it was the helmet I wanted though.
