NC...... on December 2nd. We just bought our Chrismahanukwanzakah
tree......

Air temperature 71 degrees.
Water temperature 71 degrees.

That's just wrong.

But, can you water your lawn?

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.

Just be careful. The last thing we need right now is yet another
presidential candidate.

I will not seek, nor will I accept ....

If you're a human vegetable, you have no choice. You're drafted. You get
a free presidential dog, a speech writer recruited from the rec.guns
newsgroup, and you start calling everyone "folks".

Please be careful.

I don't believe Eisboch is dumb as one has to be to be the next GOP
nominee. Remember, Dubya set the GOP standard.


True, but a head injury could qualify him instantly. That, and a small
adjustment with a surgical icepiculum to the frontal lobes. Finally, a few
months with a speech pathologist to help with the fake accent, and he'd be
as good as elected.

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?

Hmmm....

Starting to sound good.
How much does it pay?

Not enough to compensate for being shunned forever after you leave office.

If a law went into effect tomorrow that mandated helmets in every

I agree with you on this - it wouldn't make a whit of difference.

My argument is that the same logic behind no helmet laws should also
be applied to seat belts - personal choice.

And the odd thing is that the "safety" statistics for seat belt use
being more safe than not is highly fabricated and, frankly, false.
I really don't care one way or another. I have no idea what the data
shows.

Why are there such laws in place if it doesn't help?

Not trying to argue, just get some points of view.
I find it hard to believe that insurance companies, who actually know the
cost, would promote anything that would cost them more money. If seat
belts and helmets were not safer, insurance companies would aggressively
fight against the laws.

Insurance companies make more money when they pay out more money. Sounds
strange, but everytine they have to pay out more money they raise rates, and
they make a percentage of the rates as profit. Higher rates, higher profit.



I guess they should be pushing to get rid of air bags, they could really
make some big time money.

My guess is the person who hit the ground with his helmet vs. his head.

It seems to me (with my limited medical background) that a head
surrounded by a helmet can take more abuse than a head alone.
