I don't know. But I believe the number of severe head injuries due
to
motorcycle accidents would go down.
Of course they would.
Who's head?

You don't need a helmet!

I asked you how much money you would save by forcing me to wear a
helmet.
You didn't know.
Thank you for your understanding.

Here are some results of the only extensive study of motorcycle
accidents
that I'm familiar with. Note #'s 45, 48, 49, and 53. Of side note is
number
26 for the anti-countersteering crowd.

Ya know, why are we discussing this? The most obvious bikers are the ones
with the loudest bikes, and unbeknownst to them, everyone wants them dead.
Everyone. There are no exceptions, except the two or three of you who will
say you are the exceptions. Let them ride without helmets. Hell...let them
ride blindfolded. Who cares?
I don't believe anyone wants them dead. Quieter, yes. Dead, no. It's
funny,
but when I hear of a motorcycle accident on the beltway, there's an extra
twinge that doesn't happen when I hear of a car accident. I'm sure Marines
feel it for Marines, soldiers for soldiers and so on.
I believe you're wrong. People who intentionally make their bikes louder do
it to be a pain in the ass. Normal people notice this and respond
accordingly.
I think you're wrong. I think some folks actually believe the argument that
loud bikes are safer bikes. They've been fed this by Harley magazines for
years. Finally, the American Motorcycle Association is taking a stand
against overly loud pipes.
I have somewhat louder mufflers on my Guzzi. I didn't do it to **** anyone
off, but because I like the sound of the pipes. No, they're not
straight-thru.
