Seen that also on the 5 o' clock news, sadly again. It says the young man was from my city, Fall River. Praying, it is not the two that I have been seeing driving around the city.

Says they hit a curb, and went over the bars? This shows it doesn't take a car to kill.

I believe its now 7, unless the report I saw this morning was the same one you guys just refered too.

seems like it was a bad weekend, found out my boss crashed coming home after work the other night..... totalled his '04 busa and got some really bad road burn.

The victim, Russell K. Smylie, had been wearing a helmet but suffered mortal head injuries nonetheless.

No doubt wearing one of those fucking stupid skull-cap things.

Question: Why wear a helmet that only protects the back of your head when it is the front of your head that hits the wall/car/ground in the event of a crash?

I saw a chap riding along I495 the other day with a beanie helmet strapped around his neck with the helmet hanging on the top of his back/shoulder area. I'm sure he thought he was soooo fucking clever because he was technically wearing it, but not wearing it properly.

...and what is this new trend of wearing a full-face helmet on the top of your head? Don't these kids realize that they look like fucking assholes riding around like that?

derek
