There's something wrong with the pic and address. I can plug the 'address' into a browser and see it but when i plug it into the img tags, it will not work. Try deleting it and re-uploading it. Do you have a larger image of it?

Thanks Rob and all for trying! The scary part is that I DO have a white persian cat.... I made the picture I had found bigger (it was an avatar, which, of course, even with the clear directions I couldn't get to work) but it got kinda blurry. I'm more suited to flirting with death in my new helmet, I'm thinking.

I cracked up when I found out a lot of Sky Diving schools will not let you jump unless you are wearing a helmet. Hitting the ground at 120mph.....yeaaa, thats gonna save me.

Having "surfed the highway" at 65mph, I can say for a fact that had I NOT been wearing a helmet I would be unable to regale you with this tale...I live in NH, there is no helmet law here, I wear a helmet...most of the time...SOME times I just feel like "today is'nt my day to die" ...the debate over helmets should NEVER be a debate over the proported safety advantages...this can be easily disputed with facts for either side untill the day the earth grinds to a halt...
Helmet laws should only be debated on freedom of choice period....
Don't sing me a song about added health care expences and the good of all...because untill we stop smokers, well then the government has no right to tell me it's "safer and better for me and J.Q. Public's pocketbook if I wear a helmet...
the fact is the AMA and other motorcycle lobyists just don't have the funding that big tobacco has...
so all of you "helmet laws suck" types get off the weight, vision, hearing, arguments...
they can be easily refuted and make you look foolish...stick with freedom to choose...
it's almost indisputable...
try this next time someone tells you...
"you need to wear your helmet because it's safer"
"perhaps your right it might be safer...but as long as this is a free country I'm also free to be an idiot, whether that's by smoking, drinking, playing the lottery, sending my $$$ to questionable televangilists, driving a SUV, not recycling, sking, scuba diving, mountain climbing, having 10 children on a Wal-mart income, or any other of potentialy harmful legal activities and that includes not wearing a helmet."
Well said Rob 
If everyone took that attitude, we would never even have these debates. That's my view too, as I said, "just say so".

I couldn't agree more. But remember, the same people who think it is their duty to take care of you whether you like it not, are the also the ones who want to control your behavior, whether you like it or not. Once they have accepted (quite eagerly) the responsibility of caring for your medical, financial and social needs, the next logical step is to limit your choices (for your own good of course.) If we are unwilling to stand on our own and personally accept the consequences of our choices, if we expect ĆĀ¢Ć¢āĀ¬Ć
āsocietyĆĀ¢Ć¢āĀ¬ĆĀ to insure us against all risk and consequences, we have to expect that society to act to limit the amount of risk to which it is exposed. If government is going to act like mommy and daddy and care for our needs and shield us from the cold cruel world, we shouldnĆĀ¢Ć¢āĀ¬Ć¢āĀ¢t be surprised when our governmental ĆĀ¢Ć¢āĀ¬Ć
āparentsĆĀ¢Ć¢āĀ¬ĆĀ also limit our freedoms and choices. The welfare state is ultimately authoritarian.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

I found this rather interesting rather sad though. Quote:
New motorcycle kills rider in his garage
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SHAW - A Shaw man was killed this past weekend when he accidentally lost control of his new motorcycle while pulling into his driveway, authorities said.
Marvin Thorton was parking his new sports bike under his carport Saturday morning when he apparently gave the bike too much gas, said Shaw Police Chief Robert Sanders.
Thorton was thrown from the motorcycle and struck his head when he landed between a parked vehicle and the brick wall of the carport, Sanders said.
A friend of Thorton who was on the scene contacted the police.
Sanders said Thorton had worn a helmet during his ride but had taken it off before parking the bike.

I agree except on the smoking part. In certain places like resturaunts or anywhere it is close quarters. I don't inflict my nonsmoking on anyones health but a person smoking where I have to breathe it does. I quit 21 years ago and if I wanted to breathe it I would still be smoking. I have seen many towns are banning it totally anywhere in public. I don't agree with that. I think it should be up to the owner of the establishment not legislated. I can choose not to go somewhere if I don't want to just like I can turn the TV off if I don't wanna watch something.

There is no sense in arguing this point since the people who don't wear helmets don't need to wear them in the first place!

"I done never wore me a brain bucket 'cuz I dent want them gov'ment tipes tellin' me wot to do and 'cuz I like me my freedom.
An' then 1 day........
I think the docters call it hed-trama or somethin'?!"
_____________________________
Now...if anybody is offended by what I wrote here, well, you see, I TOO have FREEDOM in this country, and so I'm FREE to think that you're a dumb sh*t for not wearing a helmet.
(isn't "freedom" wonderful?!)
Yes! even I, the few times I have ridden sans brain bucket recently(in Arizona there's no helmet law, ya know), have felt like a dumb-sh*t for doing it, and that I'm pressing my luck even further when I ride these beautiful(but decidedly potentially deadly) machines.
I believe Rob was basically saying this very same thing above, but more diplomatically of course(I got'a start workin' on that aspect of my personally, ya know), and that is that in America we are FREE to be as stupid as we want, and many of us take full advantage of "this freedom" MORE than take use of that large organ located between our ears!
Am I RIGHT there Rob? Was that basically your point?(don't cha just love the way I "get down to brass tacks"?)
And don't even get me started on people who don't buckle-up, or resent someone telling them to basically..."USE your Friggin' BRAIN, and buckle up, you dummy!"(again...I got start workin' on that there diplomacy thing, huh?!)
HOW MANY TIMES do you have to hear on The News..."The [pick you State] Highway Patrol(one of them there "darn Gov'ment Agencies", BTW) believes that those victims who were THROWN from their car in this herrendous accident, probably would have survived had they used their SEAT BELTS!"....before you "figure it out", people?
But, believe it or not Mr.RIPLEY, after saying all of this, I STILL believe government should STAY OUT OF IT!!!
You see...THIS is why DARWINISM should be taught at all schools.(both public AND private)
The "Bottom Line" here is: The practice of "thinning the herd" should NEVER be stifled by government fiat!
At least I agree with you on THAT, Larry.
I rest my case.
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Exactly Dwight! We all have the God given right to be stupid. Some just exercise that right more than others. My only point is that with freedom comes responsibility. If we are going to shift the responsibility for the consequences of our actions to others we should not be surprised when they seek to limit our freedoms.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told.

On the other hand, if you are dragged by your chute, or bounce off some trees as you land, the helmet will indeed save you.

Actally Larry, I have a little caveat to add to my quote here...."The "Bottom Line" here is: The practice of thinning the herd" should NEVER be stifled by government fiat!"....I SHOULD have added...."in THIS regard(helmet use) especially", because.... FIRST, the less amount of IDIOTS out there on the roads tryin' to run my a$$ over, who through their own STUPIDITY have gone on to "their reward"....THE BETTER!!! Secondly, I now offer this caveat because SOMETIMES those people are only HALF-STUPID and are HUMAN, and thus in SOME CASES there SHOULD BE a little GOVERNMENT assistance for when AFTERWARD they make that bonehead move(like riding withOUT a helmet for instance, and they don't have enough INSURANCE to pay for the Neurological Specialists) and who will need that christian-like HELPING HAND, so they can get on with their idiot lives LATER. (I mean...even YOU have to admit that most of the idiots of the world EVENTUALLY learn SOMETHIN' once they graduate from the "School Of Hard Knocks")

I have the same right to think you are a stupid $h i t to wear a helmet. Must be ya can't ride well enough to stay on top. I have been riding to CT for years so I could take it off at the border ride around for a few hrs then put it back on to ride home. I have not worn a helmet since the law was repeeled. It is much more comfortable. No more sweating , can see better , hear better and like the wind in my...um...well if I had it...hair. It is choice and freedom and if you choose to wear one fine I choose not to. That doesn't make me stupid any more than the other zillion people who choose not to. My friends and I fought long and hard to get rid of that law. Went to the rights ralley every year.
Maybe I should start preaching on how STUPID it is to smoke.

This will be my last word on the subject of helmets. Even if it is not the law, 99% of the time I would wear a helmet. However, that is all beside the point. Here is the point... I would much prefer it to be because I want to or don't want to rather than because the law says that I have to do it.
Whether you want to wear on or not to wear one for whatever the reason is, it should not matter. The only thing hat should matter is that it is because that is what you decided to do, not the government's control over your free will and choice.

Admittedly I have a Christian duty to help my fellow man. I may even have an ethical duty to do so. But nowhere is there a constitutional duty to do so. Up until less than 100 years ago that was well understood. In fact, the 9th and 10th amendments of the US Constitution clearly preclude the federal government from performing any actions not explicitly charged to it by other parts of the constitution.
My Christian duty is a personal charge to me, as an individual, to help my fellow man. If I fail to do so that is a personal failure. It is certainly not a mandate for me to force others to do so.
Christian organizations have built the vast majority of hospitals wherever Christianity is widely practiced, as well as a great number in other places. They were built as a service to their communities as well as charities to the poor. I donĆĀ¢Ć¢āĀ¬Ć¢āĀ¢t mind paying to help staff, furnish and supply those places as part of my moral duty. What I do not like is being forced to by a bunch of irreligious pseudo moral busybodies illegitimately using the power of government to extort me into doing so.

First off I'm on your side...I think helmet laws SUCK...
BUT Again give up this foolish justification....I wear a half helmet 80+ % of the time...so explain to me again how your no helmet helps you see better...or hear better I have NOTHING to block my site or Hearing...my point is the better site and hearing argument is crap...and it's just not true...you don't see or hear any better or worse than I do (unless you have some medical reason) it's about choice PERIOD...

I didn't say it was in all cases. I also used to wear a half helmet. It was actually a helmet that was my grandfathers and came with a bike he bought in 1966. Visibility is same as no helmet as long as you don't wear the goggles I used to!! LOL But I have never seen a full face that doesn't limit vision to at least a certain extent. I am not trying to justify anything I don't give a rats a$$ good, bad, approved of, disapproved of. I do what I want when I want I accept the consiquences and invite the conflict.

Thing is I have been riding for 31 yrs. and not wearing a helmet doesn't make me stupid. It is my choice and I enjoy it much more that way. I ride both hard and fast but at the same time cauciously. I take it for granted some clown is going to cut me off or pull out in front of me. On those long stretches with no traffic or cross streets I let it fly though! If I crash and die of head injuries I will have at least gone doing what I love. What better way to go? I don't wanna die sick in bed thats for sure.

HEY! Hold on a minute there Mr.Administrator!!! AS you may know, I'm retiring from the work-a-day world and my "fascinating airlines career" of some 35 years at the end of this month, and so I'll be on a "fixed income" shortly!!!(don't worry, I'll "get by") So, WATCH this here round buyin' thing your settin' me up for, OKAY? (I mean...you wouldn't wannna have to hear that I had to sell the BA in order to make ends meet, now would ya???...WAIT A MINUTE....maybe THAT'S your plan!!!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

That's $10,500.00 dollars at $3.50 a beer. (bar prices round here) I am sure Dwight has that much in petty cash.

I do take offence and I think you are a dumb $h it to smoke well and drink too but that one is gonna be unpopular for sure! If you would rather have neck injuries than head injuries thats up to you. Personally I would rather be dead than a qudrapalegic.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
