lets not turn this into a helmet debate please! not got there yet but could easily do so
as for the helmet riders ride more dangerously, maybe as a whole but i really haven't a clue but all i know is i am a VERY cautious rider and wear a helmet and this is partially due to losing a very close and dear friend of mine that felt like family as in OP, so this tragic case really hit me hard
Cheers Ed

No worries. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Not my intention Ed. Just a demonstration of how luck can play a part in these things.

no worries, just we all know what happens with helmet debates! people disagree, than people start getting out of hand and then a mod comes along and locks the thread
no problem with discussing it here though and especially if it relates to the OP about safety of cars v bikes
