TDQ. I used to live in Nashua, NH. NH; where there is a no-helmet law. I used to cringe at the guys who'd pull over the second they got into NH from Mass and take their helmets off on the side of RT 3. I never understood that.
But if you somehow survived, you are going to bankrupt yourself, your family, and more. Health insurance, being as awful as it is in this country, will fight you every inch of the way and eventually stop giving you coverage.
When doctors are searching for a hospital to find organ donors, I guess NH is at the top of the list.TDQ. I used to live in Nashua, NH. NH; where there is a no-helmet law.

I had to give her the look, and tell her I knew somewhere they'd be able to keep them...
I think equating all lane splitting to someone who's trying to pass cars between lanes while going 50mph around a turn shortly after tailgating a car, all in a state where lane splitting isn't legal and cares are not used to it, is just a bad comparison. California has insane traffic on multilane highways, which as I understand it, used to cause problems with air cooled bikes overheating, and was the reason for letting bikes slowly filter their way through slow moving traffic.
I live in Pennsylvania, where it's also not legal, and I have never done it. Having said that, I've never understood why people are so bothered by it. I assume they've seen too many sportbikes going 100mph down the highway weaving between cars and assume it's the same thing. Same people who get mad at bicycles who don't wait in traffic downtown, people just irritated when they see someone moving faster than they are.

I'm working on this "problem", how about a heads-up as to where them could secure those helmets?
Actually, I have two suggestions where they could stow them:
- in the place where they are normally intended to go;
- in a place where they are not normally intended to go.
How much of that was a stations doing up...........Surely Leno didn't ride straight into the studio off the street like that............purely speculation here.........Maybe he was going to ride onto the set without a helmet and the stage manager, or director, made him sit the hat on his head as a prop and didn't wait or care for the strap to be done up before the presentation.........
Devils advocate maybe.......but.......things aren't always what they seem, but seem to be what we want them to be
I keep hearing distracted driving is more dangerous than drunk driving, but I've yet to hear of any driver suffering legal consequences of driving distracted.It seems to me that a key factor in "modern" times motorcycle safety is the cell phone.
