I had a friend die two years ago because he wasn't wearing a helmet, but, I have had friends die in cars while wearing seatbelts. One friend died of sleep apnea, he just died during the night. And on Monday of this week an old friend died because a truck fell on him while he was working on the brakes.

I'm sure that helmets save some lives yet there are reports out there that occasionally the helmet may have resulted in a broken neck.

Life occurs and you make your choices. I don't like wearing a helmet but I ride as safely as possible otherwise. I don't think that there should be laws requiring helmets once you are over 18. If you are old enough to die in some god forsaken sand covered country you are old enough to decide for yourself.

Sorry, kind of got on a rant there.

And I love wearing my leather jacket but Oklahoma summers are bad enough without a coat.
