I can't say that I've ever been a fan of motorcycles. I hate when one is driving near me, but what bothers me the most is when the rider is not wearing a helmet. Being in a motorcyle accident is a lot different than being in a car accident. On a motorcycle, you don't have a dome of steel surrounding you. The chances of surviving a motorcycle accident seems to be a lot less than a car accident. Not wearing a helmet is NOT a smart thing.
A friend of mine was telling me how they knew someone that was killed in a motorcycle accident. He was just taking a ride around the block and never came back. We always hear these stories and never think it could happen to us.
Riding without a helmet is like not wearing your seatbelt, only a lot worse. Don't be a dumb driver- drive safe!
