OOOOOOHHHHHH :o4: nice pics, BUT.
After I went down last year on the wing at 50+ MPH I cringe when I see people riding wearing shorts. I got quite a bit of road rash(no broken bones ) wearing genes and a jacket in the rain. I could not imagine what I would have gotten wearing shorts and a t-shirt.

A guy pulled up to me and held up his broken ankle and advised me to get some better ankle protection since he snapped his in 2 from a MC crash.
Our whole group out here wears shorts and tank tops all the time...I do think about it all the time...That is going down on the MC with shorts on.

Add me to the list of Riders who enjoy riding in shorts and a tshirt. Yes I know the points, and yes I do it anyway. I also seldom ride with a helmet. To each their own.

Xtremly cool pic's!

btw Hgslayr Those are cool mirrors. What brand/model are they?

[BUY LOW]

I'm all in favor of allowing the rider to choose whether or not to wear a helmet, leathers, or any other safety gear. :? However, I say if you get hurt without them you pay your own medical bills! Too many people doing stuff that I wouldn't dream of and get hurt and we all pay for it with increased insurance premiums. Ride without a helmet...you bet...at your own risk...not mine. Okay, I feel better now. I'm off my soap box. Later

While I am all for your right to choose a helmet or not, I was reminded of a bad choice a fellow church member made a year ago. Today in church I saw a man that used to be a very productive intelligent athletic contributor to our town struggle to get down the aisle of our church. He can't reason very well now nor does he have very good motor skills. This all happened when he had a motorcycle accident where he sustained a head injury. If he would have had a helmet on he would have walked away from the accident. I know that riding is dangerous and it is the risk we take every time we swing a leg over a bike but being safe is a choice.

[stewie]

least he had shoes on and not sandles! :shock:

[hgslayr]

Back before helmet law here in Calif. my friend and I never wore helmets on our Ninja's. My friend was in 2 accidents and both times for whatever reason he put on a helmet. He would have been likely killed or seriously injured both times due to the damage to his helmet. I witnessed one of the crashes from behind when he hit a bridge on a hair pin turn. His body went 10ft+ into the air and slammed head first onto the pavement at around 45 mph. He walked away totally unscathed. If it wasnt for the helmet I likely would have witnessed his death.

I don't want to beat this to death but.......in my business, it is extremely rare to see someone come through that was wearing a helmet. When you crack the old noggin the brain gets upset and starts to swell. We see alot of kids and young adults from ATV accidents that were not wearing helmets. The sad thing is that we see the aftermath of bad choices. We see the families that are left to pick up the pieces and try to go on with life. When you go to a funeral and see a 5 or 6 year old little girl or boy crying that their daddy is dead it will change your entire outlook on things.

[hgslayr]

We have a member here who was paralyzed in a MC accident and was in the Hospital for 6 mos. He said during that 6 mos there was 10 other MC riders who met his same fate...Goes to show you life can change in the blink of an eye....everyone be careful out there.

[WIZ]

again......worth repeating

[stewie]

i agree.... but we cant always just think about all the bad things like that, or you'll never enjoy riding.... i work for a law firm, and ive seen my fair share of pictures of cycle accidents in lawsuits, most would make you vomit.. there was one that i saw where a kid had a helment and full leathers.... was going around a curve (on a sport bike) went off the road and hit a tree... it was with so much force that his body literally "exploded" inside of the suit... anyway... i just mean we cant always dwell on the bad... we make a choice when we throw our leg over a bike, and we accept certian dangers...

[f6rider]

WELL, in regards to the shorts, my first thought was "were the $@#^ is he?? it 30 degrees here and the flags are at attention" :lol:

We here in northwest ohio have only been teased with a few warm days, then the cold comes down from canada and we are freezing again :(

hgslayr,

Sorry the thread went this way. It wasn't my intention by making a small comment. I had thought we were out of steam on that topic quite a while ago.

Still, cool pic's

Well here we go again about the helmet issue. Look if you want to ride without a helmet......go for it!! I am well aware of the dangers of riding that it why I wear a helmet. I don't hide from life and I eat rare red meat and love fast food.

my wife has a pair that looks like those... they are a mesh-fabric... got them at the local HD store...

They are called "AIRFLOW" by Tour Master. I like them when its warm out because they are an open mesh matl.

[paulbblues]

Nice pictures Curt. Seems that you're really enjoying that ride. Nice choice of music and those bar ends look great, gotta get me some :lol: I can see both sides of the protective clothing argument. I was only doing 35mph "I'm told" when I hit the car that pulled out at a junction. Had I not been wearing a helmet I'd have died. It's a legal requirement here in the UK to wear a helmet on a motorcycle, but I don't have to wear one on my Trike, but I do.

I believe that our lives are already mapped out for us and there is nothing we can do to change it's path, you just gotta enjoy it and deal with whatever it brings. Here endeth the lesson :lol: :D :lol:

Thanks Paul..NK BRKR is the brain child behind those grips...very difficult mod. It took a month at the machinist and about 5 hrs installation.
I wanted to let people know about your accident without using your name but your wllingness to share is so cool.
I wear a non D.O.T. approved helmet, at least its better than nothing, like people in other states who still dont have to wear one...YET.
Take it easy Paul and ride on...

[Baton Rune]

Alright I'll throw my two cents in. I hate to wear a helmet. And if the law here didn't make me, I usually wouldn't. That being said. I was hit from behind on the highway in San Antonio over 20 years ago. Wasn't wearing a helmet and sustained a lot of head trauma. I am mostly here today :-)

I agree, I hate wearing a helmet. I love the wind around and being able to hear everything. And as the weather warms......it makes it even more difficult to wear. However, I choose to wear one just in case of an accident. I never plan on having a wreck that is why it is called an accident. Life is about choices and with each choice you make there are consequences....sometimes good and sometimes bad.

[SiteData]

Helmets are not required in Florida and I don’t wear one.

About a year and a half ago I rolled up to a stop light next to an ambulance with two attendants in the front.
While waiting for the light to change the driver rolled down his window and said, “Nice bike”, and I said, “Thank you”.
He then looked at the top of my head and with a big grin said, “Would you like for us to follow you”?

[Dockery]

Not trying to make light of this situation, but that was damn funny.....

I will be first to admit that part of the reason I don't like wearing a helmet might very well be because i haven't found a helmet i LIKE yet.

So maybe we could turn this into a bit of a positive, and if you have a helmet you absolutely love, tell us what it is, and why you feel that way.

hgslayr, care to start? your half hemet looked pretty cool to me....

[daytripper]

Still waiting for the answer on who's mirrors those are. I must have a pair! I went on Arlen Ness's site & did'nt see the there.

You'll have to shell out $400 plus shipping for the pair...they must have gold centers.

I wear a Voss non D.O.T. approved skull cap. I like it because the wind doesnt throw my big dome around like the Full face I have. They can be found at most Bike Rallys for around $50. Very light weight.

[191-ticketmaster]

Learned to ride in CDN, helmet required for a long time now, I've never been able to adjust to not wearing one. I bought a half for riding around the block and a Caberg Justissimo (Italian) flip-up which you can remove the chin in a snap and it becomes a jet pilot helmet with an inside Visor Quick Release System , very, very cool, but kind of expensive and hard to find.
I had to try some other brand for sizing at my local shop and order online, No dealers in NC had to go to classiccruiser.com

I am well aware of the "look". I have designed a couple of sets of theme mirrors for my custom choppers. The cost makes $400 look inexpensive but you are right......if you are going for a certain look the cost is not really an issue. They do look good on your bike

[doublerkid]

I hate wearing a helmet, when they first ruled in the UK approx 35 years ago that they were a legal requirement, plus of course the inclement weather I stopped riding.
Living in Florida does have some advantages including the fact that you have a choice regarding helmet wear, plus of course the weather is conducive to riding in shorts, teeshirts & no headgear for over 300 days a year.
I have recently purchased a Bell Mag 8 open face helmet with integral flip up clear visor mainly in anticipation of forthcoming longer rides on my new Goldwing. Somehow I dont think I will wear it whilst riding the Rune, I just dont feel its that type of bike.
Weird...maybee, just an observation.

[paulbblues]

I wear a Justissimo as well, the Matt black one. The integral dark visor is a great idea. I also wear a Shark Demon full face helmet. It's light and the graphics are pretty nice http://www.nevism.co.uk/products/nm-000 ... 1172996053 (http://www.nevism.co.uk/products/nm-000-275/502_l.jpg?1172996053)

And to top it off I have a Probiker Chrome Jet Pilot open faced helmet with a dark visor. I only wear black leathers or Kevlar Jeans. I bought all my leathers from Fox Creek Leather in the US. It was cheaper and the quality is excellent. :P

Paul B........... 8)

[hgslayr]

Paul...do the integrated glasses in those helmets flip up into the helmet for nite riding? Airoh helmets look just like Justissimo...are they affiliated other than both being Italian?

Not to keep the story going on helmets etc. but I have to admit I LIKE helmets - it is to me like when i played football. Just part of the equipment that makes motorcycling cool. I have 6 helmets - all different kinds. From a DOT half shell, 2 Carbon Fiber non DOT's to an ICON rubberized full face, a full face flip up and my new one:

http://www.fulmerhelmets.com/Product/af655.html

This one I got a chrome face shield with and it looks radically cool when riding the Rune - like starwars. It is also the quietest one of all of them. I also like to ride bare headed and luckily I can do that legally in the neighboring states of Iowa and South Dakota. I admit to going skinhead on really hot days but 905 of the time I am covered.

Well said. I agree that helmets are part of the equipment of riding. Some people only go without a helmet to be "cool". I have made several custom choppers and part of the package is a helmet that matches the bike.

[Kythyn]

I've already weighed in on the helmet debate, but riding without protection has other downsides. When I ran a bike shop, the worst riding injury (survived) I ever saw was a guy taking a bee in the eye at 60mph.

Leathers, which we all agree we want to be wearing when we fall off the bike, are rated by "drag distance". What do you suppose the drag distance of human skin is? And with enough momentum, do you think road rash stops with skin and muscle or does it give a nice sharp edge to that bone?

Dog..my understanding is that if you buy a pair of Liquids at their normal $120-$140 from their web page the following orders are reduced to $75 as long as youre a repeat customer. I paid $120 at Reno Street Vibrations last year.

As for helmets...these are cool modulars at www.airoh.com (http://www.airoh.com). They look like fighter pilot helmets with the built in flip up visor/glasses.

The integrated visor does flip up for night time riding, it's very handy. I don't think that Airoh and Caberg are the same company. Having looked at some of the Airoh helmet designs I'd say that their designs are far more radical.

The exchange rate is about $2 to the £1 at the moment. I but lots of things online from the US and even though we get stung with an import tax, it usually works out cheaper than buying it here in the UK. :?

:D Your right, and wrong. Ev eryone should have the right to be safe or not. But when they don't show the mental cap. to make the right decision, someone with a little more smarts should make
that decision for them.. I have been riding for over 46 years and have helped pick up more than a few other riders off the road, with and without
the proper riding eq. each time reminds me to be as safe as I can be.
I say my prayers before and after each ride, and hope my fellow riders do the same. I don't want to get caught going down hard, all alone if you know what I mean.
Soap box stashed away. Ride safe, ride smooth. :D JolyRuneRider :D :D

Rune005....no thats my garage floor...Good thing you cant see the 3rd car garage cuz thats where everything gets stashed. I got tired of cleaning debris from the expansion joints so I filled them and installed Vinyl squares.Now I fire up the leaf blower to blow out the garage.

Guys,
Sorry, I did not go back to this post for a while till now. I only made mention on the shorts and t-shirt. After I went down doing 55 mph on the Garden State Parkway I saved my helmet that I was wearing when it slammed onto the pavment hard the first time as I went down, then I rolled and bonked it 6 more times.
I am SURE I would not be writing this if I weren't wearing my lifesaving HJC 3/4 helmet.
Thanks for listening.
