What's ironic is that Harley Davidson riders usually don't wear helmets.

One of the first road rash helmets on this site that I believe is real.

Harley makes full face helmets? Probably started losing too many clients because of the brain bucket cultute.

Back when I took my class, they put emphasis on full face helmets and how those cap helmets provide practically no protection. Kid comes...

in next day of class with new one of the cap helmets. -face palm- They're at least something I guess...

I read an article a long time ago where a guy said wearing a skid lid on a bike is like trying to put out a fire with a 1/2

I had to put my bike down once because of a dumbass driver, full face saved me some road rash. YMMV

2/2 fake fire extinguisher. It does nothing. I live in CO and we have no helmet laws but I still see people with skid lids. Strange.

As my instructor once said, "what do you value your head at $10? then get a $10 helmet. Skys the limit but $200-300 gets you something good"

Just go to the store you got it from, slam it on the counter and go "I like it. ANOTHER!".

No, seriously? A Harley rider with a helmet? Must be from state with helmet law. Did you damage your bandana?

How is it not a legal requirement in America to wear a helmet?

In some states it is

It upsets me that it isn't a national law (is that federal?)

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That's federal. States make traffic laws for the most part, not the federal government.

In my state it is... for the first year of having a license.

It should be noted that this helmet has done its job and is ready to retire. Don't reuse helmets involved in an accident.

You shoud put Helmets that saved your live up for display on a shelf. Always something to remind and talk about.

If it's fallen more than a metre, or you've hit your head while wearing it, get a new one.

As a paramedic, I assure you they do. On the plus side, I rarely have to clean the rig after those calls, just hose off my boots.

I understand that sentiment, but here in Florida when it's 95 with 90%+ humidity, full gear would roast me.

I judge people without gear here in Holland, where a suit is usually a blessing, but never people in those climates. Not smart, but I get it

That's understandable but are you potentially endangering other ppl with silly ass tricks and speeding on a highway? I'm talking about them.

It'd still be better than no helmet though right?

Interesting question. Marginally.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Not so much. Much of it has already been compromised, and is likely to split with the next significant hit. Not so good for protection, and>

10 years ago | Likes 33 Dislikes 1

> you'd also be looking at a high likelihood of getting pieces of the helmet in you.

...in the same way that a wearing a seat belt that's been cut half way through is 'better than' not wearing one.

10 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 1

Technically yes, I guess, but you can barely see through it. Wear it to the store to get a new one if you must.
