I think it's funny, the day after I saw this thread, on the Honda ATC facebook page, up popped a picture of a father doing a wheelie on a 110, daughter standing on the back rack hands on his shoulders, and the son was standing on pegs on the front forks, holding onto the bars.
None of them had helmets on, and the caption said something like "just because the helmet Nazi's have been quiet recently"

I think a helmet causing a broken neck is about the same as people saying a seat belt does more damage than good in a car crash. 99.9% of the time, that helmet or seat belt will save your life. Maybe in that 0.01% you would have been better off without, but I'd rather take the higher percentage and wear damn helmet.

Hell wearing a helmet can be fun too. Here's me on my bike a few days ago. LS2 stream helmet under the cover. Works on atv helmets too. Heck yea !
And in the end this is supposed to be a free society where everyone should be allowed the right to decide how they want to live their life. If wearing a helmet is a requirement for your safety then so should government issued GPS Monitors and thought control devices implanted in your brain.
I just wonder why so many believe that everyone should be forced to live a full life span. If someone wants to smoke, let them. If they want to bungie jump from a plane at 30000 feet, who cares? I think if they are consenting adults then they should be at liberty to kill themselves if they please.
Hail Facebook! Hail Obama! Hail Queen Killary! Long may they rule us!

Do what you like, I T-boned a truck doing 60mph on a Katana on 10/07/98. I was young and dumb but I was wearing a full face street bike helmet. Spent some time is the hospital but I am alive b/c of it.

I'm guilty of not wearing a helmet at times. Nowadays I know what kinda I plan to do if I put a helmet on so I'm sorta safer without. Crashed a 400ex when the throttle got stuck WFO once. Left side went up right side went down, my hip hurt pretty bad after, I realized I should probably wear a helmet if I'm doing anything more than strict transportation. I'll chew people out for it too.
Facebook actually banned me from posting for a bit. I guess saying we should just nuke the Middle East isn't politically correct, who woulda thought.
^^^^^ LMFAO

Because as Trikers we are tasked to set an example for youth. If your being dangerous and not being smart and arguing over being safe the sorry you deserved it. Stop thinking about yourself. Trikes are in the spot light. You know this. To play the game of I want to be a irresponsible rebel is not an acceptable practice among most of the community.
The reason why we care is if you are being dumb and you die find. Darwin won. But. The family and friends you so selfishly left behind not to include if you have children come first......

You see sir, this is exactly the attitude that got our favorite pastime banned in the first place. Imposing safety on everyone is essentially stealing away freedom. You give your freedom away at a cost to everyone else. If you want to be safe I can agree with that. I have helmets for my children and don't let them ride unsupervised. I have respectful children that don't lie to me or do bad things. I take their learning and growing process as my job and my responsibility. It is not the government or the communities responsibility. But as they move on into adulthood it becomes their responsibility to choose wisely what actions they take. I trust they make the wise choice but it will no longer be my job to force them to obey. Riding without a helmet is no more dangerous than mountain climbing or surfing. I think that helmet or no helmet the worst aspect of ATVs is operating under influence. This action could more likely cause harm to others while an idiot cracking his head open would not. (Family aside. But again that has nothing to do with the community safety in general)
And as far as being a rebel is concerned, what am I rebelling against? I am merely voicing my opinion that everyone has free will and as long as a person's actions do not violate another person rights then there should no bones about it.
BTW, I'm not promoting riding without a helmet. I'm just stating that there is no freedom if we are prohibited from doing something that will not harm anyone but the individual who chooses freely to do it.
[Food for thought - did you know that when congress was deciding whether three wheelers should be banned only one senator voted no ~ Ron Paul. He said the free market would decide by people choosing not to buy them if they felt they where dangerous.]

I don't agree. What got it banned was morons riding helmet less with flip flops no safety and being drunk.
I understand what your saying but that was not a correct statement. You can search here on 3ww and get links to the exact articles publish from back in the day along with safety reports and see for yourself.
Why are you do hell bent on being unsafe and displaying it? What is your purpose? Your reflecting on all trike community people not just yourself. I promise when (notice I did not say if) you wreck w/o a helmet and if you happen to live. You will wish you had. We cannot stop you from doing it, but we can express our dislike and distrust of what your doing.
