Helmet = open casket No helmet= closed casket Around 1980 when I went to the Yamaha dealer to buy a helmet they had a big sign for "Bell" helmets that said, "If You Have A $5 Head, Wear A $5 Helmet". I walked out of there with a helmet that cost me 3 days pay! I hate to admit it but, I chose not to wear it more than I should have. But it was my choice. Sold the bike and helmet when we started a family.

It's interesting around here because almost every bicyclist I see wears a helmet but I see a lot of motorcyclists with no helmet. For me I guess it's just common sense and comfortable to wear a helmet.

Safety equipment should be a personal freedom issue. However, do-gooders don't see it that way.  I agree. It is just more revenue for the state!!
God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

I watched a guy on a Motorcycle glue a wig on his helmet and got pulled over. One Officer was laughing and the other wrote him a ticket anyway. Wrote it for some BS thing about offending an officer ot Wasting his time or something. It was thrown out of Court. It was in the Charleston Papers. I thought it was funny. Evidently the one Officer did to!!

Georgia has the helmet law.
But, a helmet protects only the one wearing it. Law does nothing to protect the general public, so I think it should be operator's choice......then it is a self-correcting issue. Rider don't wear it...rider crashes....rider possibly dies....nobody else is hurt by rider's failure to protect his noggin. Next.....

I'm not aware of any helmet law in Iowa. I have noticed there seems to be a lot of bikers that wear those big heavy boots though. Maybe their feet are more sensitive to injury then their heads???
