NC New Helmet Law

Hey FLHT, all this talk about helmets and such, I never did find out what kind of helmet that woman was wearing. I have 2, the full face and the non DOT skid lid. Gotta admit, I like the skid lid for the wind, (and wear it most of the time) but it does worry me sometimes if I ever went down.

Interesting, I wonder if the half helmet would've done the same job. Either way, I'm glad she's still here. Hopefully she'll get better quick. Thanks for the info. please post on her recovery as you find out, we're pulling for her.

Man FLHT, that really sucks. I hope she gets some $$ out of it to help her through all of this, cause I'm sure her bills are piling up big time. I have a friend or two that got hurt and ended up losing their houses because of it, so I hope she can recover without that worry as well. At least she's still here, and she can recover....the alternative is worse. Wish her well for me....

Damn, based on that she must be one tough woman. Hopefully she'll pull through and like you said, pack it in and relax, find a desk job or something a little safer. Sounds like she deserves a little break, huh.

That's great she's so tough, it probably helped her survive the crash. Let's just hope now she gets better so she can ride/live/work and enjoy life again. (crossing fingers)

Helmet Laws

I Would Agree With Almost Everyone About Helmet Laws And The Freedom Of Choice. I Also Know The Good Sense It Makes To Wear Your Seatbelt And Head Gear That Will Protect That Void Between Your Ears Whether Someone Is Telling You To Or Not. I Have Known Of Accidents With Autos/mc Where The Outcome Was A Hell Of A Lot Better Than It Was Because The Dumb Ass Wasn't Wearing A Seatbelt Or A Biker Helmet.everyone Has Choices In Life But With That Choice There Are Always The Negative And The Positive Consequences. I Choose To Make The Choice That Makes The Most Sense To Me. I Really Love My Head As Well As Most Of The Rest Of Me And I Have No Intention Of Making It Easier To Damage My Anatomy,so Law Or No Law I And Anyone Riding With Me,wear Their Seatbelts And If Necessary,their Helmets. I Do Firmly Believe It Should Be An Adults' Choice As Such As It Would Be That They Accept The Responsibily, Possible Dire Consequences, And The Accountability That Is Only Theirs. Ride Safe;ride Smart!!

Not Ride

This Is A Woman Who Has Survied Everything Thrown At Her And Has Returned To Continue To Live Her Life. The Point Made Here Is She Was Wearing A Helmet Or There Would Be No Recovery.if She Can't Ride A Two Or Three Wheeler Any Longer,there Be No Shame In Being A Great Passenger. It Would Be Better To Have Everyone Not Willing To Involuntarily Wear A Seatbelt/helmet To Sign A Release Form Upon Receiving A Liscense. If They Choose Not To Wear Either Then They Pay Much Higher Insurance Premiums With Higher Deuctibles And Full Responsibility For Their Choice. If A Seatbelt/helmet Is Not Worn And They Are In An Accident Sustaining Injuries That They Would Not Have Recieved If They Had Been In Compliance,then A Fine Is Appropriate If The Responsible Person Is Alive To Be Fined. The Helmet Laws Are An Attempt To Minimize Damage To The Human Body,particularly That Organ That Operates Everything Else In Our Bodies And Not An Invasion Of Any Kind. You Still Have Freedom Of Choice,just Make A Reasonable One,

I had a comment typed up but deleted it as the comments you are making are very anti-motorcycle/pro insurance, kind of dictatorship like, to me although i wear a lid, for the most part, and leathers, I would never advocate for the leashing of the free, and that is what a lid and seat belt do suppress our freedoms now is it wise or not to slide your scalp on the black top it sure doesn't seem benifical, but you know what it means, the person that did slide his scalp down the interstate had the FREEDOM to chose and my friend that is american. and we already abide by to many suppresive laws, from guns control, to abortion, and helmet laws in a lot of states, open container fines for having a beer in your front yard, now if your concerned that this freedom action is whats causing the grand rise in health care I would suggest you direct you attention to the illegal emigrant and welfare problem and you will probably find that greater problem
oops guess i retyped it anyway

Lack Of Comprehensive Reading

I've Ridden For More Than Thirty Years And I Have Had Motorcycle Accidents. I Rode With A Helmet And Without A Helmet. The More Serious Accidents/falls I Was Very Lucky And Very Thankful I Had A Helmet On.my Statement Had Nothing To Do With Politics Or Even Money. I Stated It Was Definitely A Choice To Obey Any Laws Or To Disobey Them If You Trully Believe You Were Right To Make That Choice Also. This Is A Personal Opinion From Extensive Experience. As For The Woman Being A Rider,passenger,single,married,or Anything Else,it Wasn't Even Info That I Needed. My Remarks Were My Own And Not Intended To Rattle Any Cages. Either There Are Some Of You Who Do Not Read The Entire Post Or You Can't Understand English. Now That I Think Of It, I Really Don't Give A Damn About People That Find It Necessary To Jump To False Conclusion And Then Believe They Are In Any Way Superior In Some Way To Everyone Of Us Average Acheivers.

dang that was high volume:roflmao:
