Imagine how many lives would be saved if car drivers were forced to wear helmets.Hi Scott,
as I understand ABATE, they are not against wearing helmets, they are against making helmets mandatory.
Presumably seat belts, too?
Perhaps they have a point? Folks do all kinds of hazardous things just for the fun of it.
They climb mountains, crawl into caves, jump out of aircraft hoping their parachute will open and none of those activities are against the law fer chrissake.
What is it about him that upsets you?
If you have to ask, I guess you had to be there....
I was trying to figure out why he's gone yet you're still here, decade after decade, not doing much except correcting the behavior of other grownups.I quess the question is why the need to ask...........ultimately it was the Administrators decision to ban him............having to ask is only rehashing a situation or questioning some one right to an opinion............if you weren't there what does it matter.............
That wasn't my intent, but since it doesn't involve you, why elaborate? Your philosophy.An aside, that second thread you linked to indicate MikesXS 750 kits are problematic..........it
Seemed to be friendly.Hi Pete,
well, I was sorry to see him go. Consider the amusement factor, eh?
and if anyone was naive enough to take him seriously, it's just too bad.
When the hospital gets word of a bike accident involving lane splitters (especially with no helmet) coming in, they say,
"Get the operating room ready, we have an organ donor coming in" !

When something foreign to you is perfectly acceptable, there's usually a perfectly acceptable reason for it.

Strange but funny comparison. Low speed mishaps are where a helmet gives the most protection. I have a cracked helmet and had three cracked ribs to prove it. I'm certain I would have been dead without the helmet, speed, I was barely moving.
It applies equally to Sacremento traffic jams, and maintaining despots in power to uphold World order.Haha! Been there!
Hi xjwmx,At least he wasn't some annoying virtue signaler.

When I still live in CA, my GF at the time worked in the hospital down in San Diego. I used to go and hang out with her at work and life flight with motorcycle accidents were very common.
