[QUOTE="FruDaddy, post: 1070085, member: 63076"] If I am involved in an accident on my cruiser, I would expect the party at fault to assume the liability, and expense, for whatever damage that they cause. This liability should be assumed regardless of what safety equipment i would have chosen to wear or not to wear. This could be compared with any party responsible for an accident, if you are lucky enough to total a 1984 Chevette, you are out $20, but if you total a new Mercedes, you are out of luck. Also, whenever you are found responsible for an accident, whether you bend the fender a little, or total the car, you are responsible for damages. Some cars are safer than others in an accident, we learn this through crash testing, but should we be penalized if we are driving the less expensive car that isn't quite as safe, even if the accident isn't our fault? If that is the case, we shouldn't even be allowed to ride a motorcycle on the street due to the increased risk of bodily harm in the event of an accident. I am not saying that people shouldn't wear a helmet, I am saying that it should be a choice. My wife totalled a bike a few years back, and she would not have fared as well as she did, were it not for the KBC full face helmet she was wearing (it was pretty banged up). Now she even makes sure to wear boots, long pants, and a jacket whenever she rides. [/QUOTE]
