You said, 'Maybe the helmet reminds him of work.'

Cute.

When I see someone riding without a helmet, I catch myself thinking, "Well, they don't have much brains in the first place, so why bother with a helmet?" Anyone motorcycling without a helmet gambles with stakes MUCH higher than any I'm willing to take.

Around here motorcyclists not wearing a helment are called "organ donors" by the cops.

Statistically they are right. About 80% of motorcycle deaths here are Harley riders not wearing helments. (no offense to Harley riders but the numbers don't lie.)

When I see someone riding without a helmet, I catch myself thinking,

Try not to strain yourself.

The vast majority of automobile fatalities are the result of the head injuries sustained in the accident. I trust you wear your helmet while driving along in your Volvo . . .

BTW, the majority of motorcyclists are aware of the risks, which is more than can be said of automobile drivers; automobile fatalities outnumber motorcycle fatalities 100 to 1.

The same can be said every time I see a fata$$ pigging out at the buffet. There are far more in that category than in the helmetless-rider category. Maybe you should worry about them instead.

A $50 helmet to protect a $5 brain.
