REPOST FROM previous thread:

Good Evening Lizards! It was ok in the Very Far Western Suburbs of Chicagoland this day.

I didn't hear anything about anything today.

How are you-all and how are the little hatchlings? Did they clean-up their shells, show a rudimentary understanding of the sarc tag, and make fresh coffee?

Noam, I looked back at the PBR induced haze that is NOW. I cannot for the life of me....WAIT. I remember.... My Dad, the (ancient, long since retired) pediatrician..... made me sell my bicycle at age 10 because of all of the head injuries he saw at Milwaukee Children's Hospital that were caused by bicycles.

Now mind you, this is WAY before helmets were anything (ie. 1960's).

Noam, you really have to wear a helmet man....

But if I'm just running down to the grocery store, to pick up more rum, I'll likely not wear a helmet. If I'm just out for a little cruise on Minnehaha Creek Parkway, I probably won't wear a helmet.

Dude, I knew a guy who lived across the hall from me (in an apartment building) in Galveston (Texas, that is) who would ride, on his motorcycle, five blocks down to the Seawall every afternoon for a smoke. About a block and a half from my apartment building, there was a traffic light.

One day, my friend proceeded through the stoplight (it was green as the story goes) and was hit broadside by a car running the light.

I remember (clearly) the sounds of the sirens but not realizing it until about a day later that it was Brian.

I hate to sound like a real bitchy MF, but you really need to wear your helmet.

I wonder what the stats are on motorcycle riders who die in accidents while wearing a helmet. It's not exactly a roll cage, for crying out loud.

The worst motorcycle death I saw was on what we call Spaghetti Junction in Minneaolis, a confluence of I94 and I35W. I didn't see it happen. I was out riding my bicycle near the Metrodome and happened upon a street whre a bunch of people were standing by a fence looking down on the freeway. There, down the the onramp, face-down and lifeless was a helmeted, former motorcycle driver roughly 30-40' from his burning crotch-rocket. I was thinking about buying a motorcycle that summer, and reconsidered just from the sight of that accident.

Crotch rocket riders have a higher death rate than non CR riders. In fact, the more horsepower the bike, the higher the death rate. You can verify that one.

I just heard a caller to the O'Reilly show suggest that the polls are wrong.

Oh G-d, we can only hope. What did this caller have to say?

"It's not exactly a roll cage, for crying out loud." This is true - riding a scooter or motorcycle is dangerous just cause of all the other motorists in cars who usually can't see you - to them, their car roofs and sides are roll cages.
But I ain't gonna bust your chops anymore about the fucking helmet - wear it, don't wear it, hell it's your life, live it the way you want to.

That is the question!

Maximum speed on the parkway, and the Mississippi River roads too, for that matter, is 25 mph. I frequently have to give a car a beep to get them up to 25 so I can enjoy the ride. Some of these areas are so full of traffic that I'm only doing 15. I could jump off my scoot and run away from trouble at that speed.

Not a problem. I'm a cop, but I'm not the grammar police.

Doen't take much to die from head trauma when not wearing a helmet. Hell, we've had two guys here in the valley die from being punched out. They struck their head when they fell and that all she wrote. Zero MPH.

HEY! Quit trying to justify this. My friend- you need to wear a helmet!

Or so help me and half the Lizard Army- if you crash and die of head trauma- we'll kill you.

I posted something like that in another thread. EMTs I've talked to call guys that don't wear helmets organ donors.

Or at least give your password to a trusted friend so they can let us know that you have entered the coma/dirt nap.
