scot, sorry about your friend's brother.

scott, that xray looks exactly like a marine mammal. and some people still can't embrace evolution.?.

i have owned a motorcycle helmet, which i wore. but i've never owned a bike helmet, nor have i ever worn one. every once in a while someone will yell something about a helmet, ususally from a passing truck. seattle cops used to say things on occasion,. one made me dismount and walk my bike. that probably made his day. cops don't say anything any more, which i appreciate. we recently voted for a mayor that rides, and i think that has something to do with it, for the helmet is just one more hurdle to riding. and yes, i understand most of you believe it's an important hurdle.

personally though, i think forearm pads and mouth pieces are more instrumental and effective. though i do like the idea of wearing the motocross helmet while eating cereal and watching tv.
