Do You Wear A Helmet

[garyh]

I always try to wear a helmet but must admit i have gone without driving around the gates.

The main reason one should wear helmet is there is a lot of drunks driving about here. You can be the best driver in the world but you still have to watch out for those drunks on bikes and in cars. An example is in the villages where they never ware helmets because "i am just going to the local market" thinking. My farther-in-law who is 80 still does this he was out riding his in the village bike when a drunk nutter on a bike took him clean out. He was in the ICU and need stiches in his leg arm and head. His bike was not insured we left our honda wave (which was insured) and helmets at his house but was not used. The guy who took him out was to poor to get money off.

also seen an 10 year old driving standing up on the bike. no helmet

Sorry for the spellinggg

I have had a few close calls with stupid dogs also, these days I am a bit older and perhaps a bit wiser and do not ride a bike at all.
