The proof is in the pudding!

Should you continue to scroll down, you will be shocked by the gory photos to follow.

You have been warned

Last chance !

**Uncle Bob** · 03-29-2004, 10:28 PM

Whoa! Warn people when you post this type of stuff, I was eating !

**Louis** · 03-29-2004, 10:44 PM

That's why I edited the title of the topic. Harsh pictures.

**Uncle Bob** · 03-29-2004, 11:01 PM

For those of us that were watching the topic before the inclusion of the pics there was no warning.

I have seen many accidents and about five motorcycle accidentd that were fatal. One of them would have been alright if they had worn a helmet. The other four the helmet did not help. In fact, one of then the helmet actualy caused the fatality, by stragulation when it became wedged in a tree limb. That does not happen often. But helmets do keep your head intact when sliding down a highway and eating pavement.
I have rode with out helmets but perfer to have one. Yeh the wind and bugs in your hair is cool, but on my balding head, sunburn is not fun.
I admit in traffic jambs helmet are hot, and I may decide to for go a helmet at a bike week cruse where it is allowed, nd where I will reach a grand speed of 5 mph best. I have done this before, and when it takes you an hour to ride 1 mile, heat is a problem. Thank you Mr. Suzuki for water cooling. Besides, helmet decorations and stickers look so much better on a helmet then on your head.
