Helmet saved me from a persistent vegetative state in 1983. Riding my 74 Bonneville, I got clipped by a car pulling out of a parking spot. At that point I figured MC's are safer than bicycles. I never would have had a helmet if I had been on a 10-speed. Back then, I might have been going just as fast! Ahhh the good old days of youth and wasted physical conditioning!
