Another helmet petition...

[fossyant]

Well research will tell you you need a motorbike helmet...... come on, many of us regularly push silly speeds, our only advantage is the bike weighs 8-20kg's, not a few hundreds....

Personal choice....yeh I wear one when out seriously, not when pootling with the kids. Why..... on the serious rides, good cooling/sweat absorption - my current skull cap/helmet combo soaks up everything/evaporates the lot - otherwise I'd either look like Pedro Delgardo with a sweat band (been there)....or with a silly cap that would leak.....

And, just in case, it's OK for stopping a nasty headache and gravel rash on the old bonce, might even avoid concussion. Anything that will cause more serious injuries..well...we'll all be gonners - helmet or not. Oh, and it keeps the better half and kids a bit happier.........given my track record of being knocked off/falling off over 24 years....

Anyone spot this stupid link to a polly helmet stopping a bullet...yeh right !

Here...hmmmmmm

Nothing wrong with either of those statement. My concern is that asking government to be involved is just begging for some fool to suggest compulsion and you can guarantee that they would not make the distinction between "out seriously" and "pootling".
