Hi All.................
I'd been sitting here reading through some old treads........
(Wife has gone shopping, so I can do what I want) hehehe
Anyway, some of the treads that got my attention are ones where people do not wear safety gear........
So I'd thought I'd post up a couple of pics of my helmet after my accident. Earlyer this year......
I'm posting this as a little wake-up call for the guys that don't wear gear...
In the hope that when you look at the condition of the helmet. The next time you go for a ride. you'll Remember the pics..............
And how important if nothing else, your helmet is...
No helmet, no riding.........
One thing is for sure, if I wasn't wearing mine at the time. I would not be posting this..........!!!!!
The shield was removed at the time of accident. (It got ripped off)................. and the inner padding, I removed at a later date............... due to the fact it was heavily stained with blood from a head injury....
And for them that may be wondering how quick I was going. I was doing 60 mph......
My level of driving skill, I would like to think is more than adequate........... I've been riding for 22 years............. and have done all my advanced riding up to police instructor level.............. (required for the job I do)
So that thought that might be in the back of your mind. It will never happen to me.......... I don't need to wear a helmet......... do you think for one moment, I went for a spin that day, thinking I would land in the hospital............... it pays to be cautious
If any of you have pics of gear........ that may have saved your life........ or prevented serious injury post them up....
Your picture may change someone's way of thinking and save their life.
With out the protection of the lid I was wearing........................... I'd have been pushing up daisies right now............
