I like to believe he was making the ultimate statement.

If he landed on hishead he probably would have died even if he was wearing a helmet.

I happen to agree with him. If the government orders motorcycle drivers or riders to wear helmets, why doesn't the government so order drivers and riders in cars? Would not that also save lives?

At least the world is one less motorcycle quieter.

As a 50+ year rider, former AMA professional racer, mechanic and dealer I really think Philip A. Contos made three fatal mistakes on his protest ride.
1: riding without a helmet
2: stomping that rear brake (cause “we all know that the front brake will cause the front tire to skid) SARC / major sarc
3: Never taking even the basic motorcycle riders class. (how do I know? see number 2)

There’s a name for bikers who don’t wear helmets: “Organ donor.”

I wear a full-face helmet after hitting a muffler the car in front of me lost. I almost went over the handlebars. Hopped the bike on the front wheel. Scary.

Not germane to this thread: On Friday, 7/1 several older bikers were killed in Mt. Bethel, PA. All veterans they were on a tribute ride for a deceased member. News reports have them colliding head on with a pickup truck. RIP and thank you for your service, gentlemen. >PS
