A New Risk of Middle Age: Dying on a Motorcycle - Well - Tara Parker-Pope - Health - New York Times Blog

Amazing piece with a whole bunch of 'no way... you're kidding.. get outta town' reactions for me.

I followed that link to the "Vinnie Barbarino wore a helmet" thing & LOVED the comments....

First:

Vinnie Barbarino was a character in a costume. Riders don’t need a plastic hat to ride any motorcycle.

Wardrobe, get rid of the plastic hat.

I firmly support voluntary helmet use for motorcyclists. As a kidney patient who may in the future require a kidney transplant, it will be a great benefit to me and all society if the number of kidney donors is increased as these mental defectives are removed from traffic. Motorcyclists with a mind diseased who refuse to wear a helmet would be bad donors for a brain transplant, but their kidneys should be fine. I therefore decry the nanny-state activists who would deny Americans (especially those with blood-type A+) their God given freedom of choice and force these free-spirited motorcyclists to wear helmets.
