Anyone work in an ER at all? We commonly called them donorcycles
You mean there's anything LEFT to donate after such a retard wrecks himself? I figured he'd be completely grinded down to the last bone, including his organs.
remove insurance liability if you aren't wearing a helmet/seatbelt/etcIs that not the case? In that case damn straight you should!
legislating personal responsibility is just wrong. It IS a free country, and the idiots are free to be weeded out.

I know it's a free country and all, but since so many people are apparently just TOO stupid to be trusted with their own safety, isn't it about time the government step in and make helmets and leather riding suits mandatory?
I used to ride regularly, and whilst I might go without a helmet and leathers out in the country (backroads, etc.), I'd never even dream about it in a city (or other fairly populated area) and busy highways.
Maybe it's just the age.No, it's not.
It doesn't matter how good you are on the cycle. It's how bad the person behind the wheel of the car is.
Absolutely. And if a person doesn't understand that, he's a fucking moron.
Nice pic of crash scene:
Broke the helmet - not my skull.
