Not going to swear to it as of yet. but.

Wearing a helmet whilst riding a motorcycle is akin to wiping down your arm with alcohol before self injecting unknown street drugs.

You are attempting to mitigate the danger of an inherently unsafe act.

If you're gonna go with stupid you might as well say damn the torpedos and go whole hog.

I have NEVER in my life endorsed or encouraged anyone to ride a motorcycle. Sure - I had fun doing it. I managed to put on a shitload of miles in 35+ years of riding with 3 major accidents leaving me only crippled and not dead or paralyzed..

Just remember you are 26 times more likely to be splattered on a bike than in a car.


If you want thrills- take up flying.

It's waaaaay safer.

I've had one serious accident while riding and that was because a ute ran a red light. I find riding to be safe so long as you're careful and remember that you have to watch out for the other idiots on the road, because many of them won't watch out for you.

I think mandatory riding classes for car drivers would make things safer on the road.
