[QUOTE="biglou, post: 681441"] Good discussion here, although I don't think there is going to be any single correct answer. Mark-I disagree with your helmet theory-to a point. Sure, maybe (I don't know) statistically you are less likely to get creamed running to the corner store. Or are you? If what I've heard is correct regarding automobile accidents, the majority of them take place within "x" miles of the home. With "x" being some single digit number. I'm sure most of us have heard that statistic in regards to seat belt use. I have no idea as to its validity. Personally, I like to think that I would take every single precaution available to me every single time I did something. But, using that philosophy, why am I doing it in the first place?! Because it's fun? Because it's my right and priviledge as an American? All of the above? Am I/are we all as safe as we can possibly be every time we ride/drive? Probably not. I know I've pulled some serious jackass stunts in my time! I've also been extremely naive about certain subjects in the past, as I'm sure I am about lots of things now. My opinion here-I really don't care if someone wears their helmet or not if that's the legal option. Given the option, I would wear mine. On the other hand, I don't think anybody wants another government regulation put in place to try and save us from ourselves. Kinda like setting a minimum age for OHV operators, banning certain types of OHV's, etc. Personally, I'm all for freedom of choice on most things. Where to draw the line on what should be regulated and what shouldn't is a great big gray fuzzy area as far as I can tell. Like I said back on page one, this is a very tricky subject. I don't think there are any concrete answers here, just some good opinions. I could go on and on, but I'd start rambling (even moreso than I am now)! I wish we had a campfire and a couple beers. Maybe we could make some breakthroughs. Or, maybe I'd have a couple too many and ride my 50 through the fire-sans helmet of course... :laugh: [/QUOTE]
