4800 dies. 10% who did take MSF course? 480. 36% of that number? Who drink? Leaves 296.
32% not licensed? Leaves 201 deaths of trained, educaed, sober riders. I will take those odds.

Never quote me statistics from a DOT GOV site!! Egads man, the government lies!!

I’m 68 and have been riding all over for 48 years. Some times sh$t happens. In have 1 paid for home, 1 car, 1 toy hauler, 4 bikes and 4 scooters. I’ve ridden in all kinds of weather. My helmets have saved my bacon more than once. In my youth I used to amateur road race too.

Fighting against compulsory helmet use is one of the reasons I don’t belong to the AMA.

Another country heard from!! I have successfully avoiding dieing all these 55 years! I ride all the time, and I am safer than most! I find riding education and riding skills and awareness help quite a lot!
But you are right, I must be an idiot. Which is why I have 2 bikes, 2 homes, 2 trucks, and 4 kids. Only 1 wife though!! I just got done submitting my mileage to my club for the 2011 year. 22,765. (I will come in 4th too)

The deer I hit I split in half. The second deer hit me in the rear and knocked me over. It’s why I hit the ground so hard and breaking some bones. No road rash however as I always wear a full gear.

My skull was tested to Snell/DOT standards and unfortunately didn’t pass. Perhaps your skull is harder? If so, don’t bother with a helmet because your head can surely pass any government standard, including bouncing it off a curb @ 60 mph (you’re so lucky!)

Danny, you’re an idiot if you actually believe you can always overcome a possible MC accident. Sometimes things happen that are out of your control.

Yeah, what he said.. NJ Steve get’s it. And he lives in the Peoples Republic of New Jersey!!
Freedom to NOT wear a helmet, to wear flip flops, to wear shorts and do stupid things. Because you do not like it, or think it smart, YOU should have no say in my choices of how I live my life! That is what freedom is.

Get a clue!!
