bell star is prolly the most comfortable helmet i have ever owned.  little on the pricey side, but shop around and you can get last yrs model for 50% off.

I'd probably start reading the "Game of Thrones" series, if I thought the author would finish the series before he dies...HURRY UP. 

awesome series!

so what happens when we protect everyone from everything and we all live to be 120yrs old?  natural selection isn't the worst thing going on .  I've lost loved ones and seen accidents with helmets and without, every situation is just a little bit different.  Then again i dont think there should be public assistance period, or very very minimal at best.

so if wearing a helmet is the safest, and the govt is going to make a law requiring riders to wear a helmet, why stop there?  lets make sure everyone in any type of vehicle is safe.  5pt safety harnesses, fire retardent suits, gloves, boots, the whole nine yards for anything moving faster then a 2hp lawn tractor.  just think of the savings in the long run.

does anyone know how fast this guy was going? what the traffic conditions were?  its just a picture.  that road is about as wide open as it gets.  one doesn't need to be even speeding to drag an elbow and make it look fast.  so i guess it would be hard to have a logical discussion unless you had all the information present.

I think that some people take this stuff way too personally. If you are really into how others feel about you, your riding style, or your personality. A forum about bikes may not be the best place for you to spend a lot of time. If members have comments about my riding skills, I might learn something and other members might benefit from a warning that I am painfully slow to ride with. If the truth hurts, that's too bad. If a forum succumbs to a PC attitude in exchange for openness and expression of honest (even misguided) commentary, why even participate? Really, it is easier to ignore the folks you dissagree with than to get upset by their posts.

Not sure that was the point.   I don't believe this had anything to do with people passing advice about riding, as much as it was about strong personalities who potentially send a thread down a negative vibe. 

But to address your thought, it's one thing to ride amongst friends who make friendly light of a goof you made at lunch.  It's another thing to ride with semi-strangers who make judgmental statements about your riding.  I've ridden amongst some of these guys for years and don't have any desire to  start having a stranger start telling me how to ride better.  (I go to ERC and ZARS for that.)  It's a totally unnecessary and negative vibe that tends to make riders stop showing up for rides.  You're better served by soliciting the advice at will, rather than feel obliged to accept it against your will.

well said!
