Crash in Lincoln N.H. today (off 290 club?)

[rockGSX-R750-NH]

Brought back bad memories of my crash last fall....ewwwww!!! It was a guy from a club...off 290?...ever heard of em? Anyway...I went by the medical center in Lincoln(before the crash)and saw 4 sport bikes parked...I was like....awww no not a brother in a crash....but then noticed 4 guys at the Gypsy Cafe next to it eatin and wavin to me...I was like...ok ...cool...half hour later I go by and they had just pulled out and started there wheelie type jet blast down the street shit....so I turned around just to see whats up....maybe catch up to warn them about the cops in town or what ever...I get 20 yds away and see all kinds of comotion...the pore guy didn't even get a chance to get busted. Right in front of a good friend of mines gas station....CRASH!~!! I asked my buddy what happened..."guy pulled up a wheelie about 100 feet up the street and he kicked out ...his bike went about 100 more feet before hitting a gate...the guy rolled...no helmet" ........I just hope your alright dude....scary start to my weekend.

Do Burger King crowns qualify as DOT approved head gear?

I can still picture my 1/2 brother on his 85 VFR1000R wearing a tank-top, shorts, and BK crown. That was before there were squids, but I think that it would have qualified him. Oh yeah, I think there may have been a wheelie involved also. Now he rides a Harley and because VT requires helmets has an old prussian 1/2 helmet - you know the kind with the pointy thing poking out the top.... but since I still ride a sport-bike, it's me that never grew up.

Do you really want to grow up? I don't..
Helmets are good..squashed brains is bad....

I gotta agree with mick... what you wear for gear is a personal choice, and anybody who thinks otherwise is close minded, maybe you need to take your helmet off occasionally to open your mind to the reasons why peeps decide to ride without gear.. it's personal risk assessment, simple as that. and anyone who doesn't understand is ignorant

...i think "some" people should go to the morgue and see what a mortal head injury looks like..i `m pretty sure some of u may change your opinions when u see death up close and personal...i used to work at a hospital...and the pathologist used to come and find me when he wanted help moving a bod to the autopsy table...it wasnt very pleasant..i assure u.needless to say i wear a helmet.

Riding with a helmet is better than being a veggie, or worse. On One down, one of the members had a friend die recently when he wiped and hit his read...no helmet.

I saw another crash on my way out last night. Heading out from Weirs Beach on 3 in front of some houses. I don't know what he was doing but there were 4 cruisers there and a Heavy Ambulance. The bike was down against the guardrail.

Of course rocker says this. Brain buckets are about as good as...buckets to put your brains in.

Listen to harley riders, they always were protective gear...

I'm with ya on the helmet thing all way, being from CT you'd think I'd have seen a lot of people without helmets, well I have seen a lot of cruisers (that Bandana is gonna help) but in my two years in CT (since moving from MA) I've only seen one sportbike rider without a fullface helmet. Whats weird too is I've only seen the chrome WWII style helmet in MA..

I work w/ a bunch of harley rider's.........& they claim ,the reason they don't wear a helmet is.....if they crash,they'd rather be DEAD.......instead of a VEGTABLE??..............pretzel logic at it's BEST!!!!.......5..........

I had a friend from High School who went over the front of a Nighthawk S in sand (went off the shoulder of a road). No helmet face first to the ground. I couldn't believe it when he told me that the Dr said that had he been wearing a helmet that he would have probably broken his neck! I tried to explain to him that helmets are designed to absorb impact, much like his face did, but he would not believe me over the word of the "Doctor".

Funny thing is that after they reconstructed some stuff he looked better than ever ! He even was able to start dating cute girls after that... he, he.

Ha! I LOVE that one. I've got news for 'em too: I'm ALIVE 'cuz of my helmet, plain & simple. And I'll tell ya something else: I'm fuggin' GLAD I lived through it. Just think, BECAUSE of my helmet I was there to watch my second daughter be born (wife was 5 months pregnant when I crashed) and I've been there to watch both my beautiful little girls grow. Yeah, that's suuuuuuch a horrible fate. I fuggin' hate listening to ignoramus' use that arguement. Chances are if you're wearing a helmet, you WON'T end up a 'vegetable' ...
