Motorcycle Fatalities and Bulletproof Bikers

Just recently the senate killed the bill to allow Tennessee Motorcyclist to ride helmet free.  A few years back, or perhaps more than a few years back I would have disagreed with this action.  Anytime I ride in a state with no helmet law required I have always quickly removed mine and enjoyed the fresh air, the cool breeze in my hair, and the overall sense of freedom.  I had no concern for injury for I was bulletproof. My body was solid from running many miles, pecks accustomed to benching 250lb in reps, long flowing ponytail and tattoo's in the wind.  Some of these are things of the past and some never really were....  I can't run anymore, a bad knee and diabetic feet took care of that, and the pecks developed from benching the 250lb on frequent occasion have now sagged, almost to the point of needing support (I think women call this a bra), also gone is the ponytail, must have been too much freedom wind in it,  as all that's left is a bald head now.  As for the being a bulletproof biker well........

I rode into Kentucky recently (no helmet law), rather than stop and remove my helmet at the state line I just seemed to realize what a comfortable helmet I really had and kept riding.  I thought about my little boy back home and what I would want him to do in the same situation.  Hope he's never bulletproof....  

That's my opinion. Ride safe.  Not so Loco Logan
