My helmet, and my boots, have saved me from a couple nasty spills. I'd have died in my last wreck if not for my helmet. It really does open your eyes.....

This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

Yep, never know when gravity is going to remind you who the boss is. Glad to hear you're Ok Dude. Note to all: a buddy of mine crashed about 5 months ago WITH a loose fitting helmet on. He's had his skull open up twice since to be drained and coterized and still has some tests to do. Use your own helment, don't lend it out and replace if it hits the ground, they only work once (That means YOU Jason).

Teaching quads a lesson
I always wear my steel toed work boots when I ride, and I ALWAYS wear my helmet. It has saved my head a few times already. A nasty spill actually doesn't feel too bad, certainly better than your skull smashing into hard ground. Just have to work on getting some riding pants and a chest protector.

My Dad always Usually wears a helmet. Me I always do it's a given last crash I had I could have hurt myself really bad but thanks to my helmet I'm good. My mom on the other hand absolutely refuses to wear a helmet, in 2004 she was in a horse accident and fell off (not wearing a helmet) a running horse and hit her head into the pavement she cracked he scull from the back of her ear to middle of her fore headand. She didn't know who she was at the time, she didn't know who I was and she was bleeding from her ear. She was in ICU For 2 weeks and another week to recover. Now she can not smell anything and has no taste so food tastes like nothing. Today she still refuses to wear a helmet and I'm Always pissed about it because another hit on her head like that could be her last and she Doesent seem to get it. I only hope one day she learns

Yes, I ALWAYS wear steel toe'd workboots, my helmet, and gloves. But, now i'm thinking about investing in a chest protector.. You can never be too careful.

When I got my first bike my dad told me these exact words: "Always wear your damn helmet!". Probably the best advice anyone can get or give

Confession. Been there, done it, nearly paid for it, and not proud of it...
Just running my bike across the yard into the shed when my mate turns up on his quad and says his cattle have got out. So we chase off up the lane and out across the fields. I'm not very sure of the area we're in and it's dark, but it's his land and I follow fairly close behind admitedly at some pace when he went over a huge fox hole. Of course the quad straddled it but my front wheel - well - I saw it coming and had nowhere to go but in it. It did stay upright, and I did stay on, heaven knows how. I'm not easily spooked but it didn't do my nerves any good at all.
Helmet stays with the machine now, no excuses.

Yeah, we both had crap luck, two unavoidable incidents. Nothings bent, just a cracked front fender. I thought everything would be toast.Originally Posted by 86'250sx

Used to ride the strip mines with eight or ten guys, most were old dirt bike riders. We ALL wore helmets. Met up one day with four or five guys that one of them our leader knew. Happened to be the owner of a local Honda store. He said if it was okay with us they would like to run with our group that day. Not a damn one of those guys were wearing a helmet! My buddy told them that we ride for FUN (this was WAY before cell phones) and if one of his group split his head open down in some creek bed a million miles from nowhere, the fun factor just wouldn't be there anymore. We went one way and they went another. (not happy)
Seems to me a guy that sold those things should know better!!!
