This is why you should always wear a helmet............

Wow, that was close Brother! Glad to hear you tell the story, cuz your still arround. Don't need to be reading anything bad about any MB'r.

It's a shame that a lot of us don't wear hemets.

I don't as previously stated, because it makes you stand out. I'm in NY and wish that I could, my friends yell at me all the time. Guess it's the chance you take for trying to avoid the senseless and pointless laws...

Glad you made it through...

Noticed that was your 7th post. Don't be afraid to ask Q's here Brother! We are here to help out! Thanks for sharring pics for the guy's in States that ain't as togh as mine!

Good that you're still in one piece, gn. Could've been worse, like the poor guy who died after falling off his electric bike.

I always wear a motorcycle helmet while riding my MB's. Aside from offering excellent protection, it's a heads up for drivers around me that I'm faster than a regular bicycle. That way they can adjust their riding style accordingly.

Then they realize why I'm in the middle of the road, instead of off to the curb.

Hey, I am glad you are OK and also glad that you posted your story. You never know who you may have helped by doing so.

I live In bowling Green, KY, home of the Buick Nationals at Beech Bend Raceway. Hopefully, one day they will host the MB Nationals, ha ha.

Hey Bill, thank you for the kind words brother. It feels good to be alive!!! I believe out of bad sometimes comes good, if this thread can save someone then that would be very good! I was just in Kentucky this past August for the 2009 GS Nats, it was a blast! I love Kentucky, great people!!!

Thank you for the kind words, I'm not 100% yet, but I'm still here and that is enough for right now! So far I've been able to find solutions to my problems just by searching this forum, but it's always good to know I have people to turn to when I have a questions, thanks for the offer brother, Nelson.

Thanks brother, I'm glad to still be here to be able to spend the weekends with my granddaughter, whom I love with all my heart! Also your comment makes so much sense about the other drivers, I also purchased front and back lights for night driving, it makes a world of difference! Nelson.
