The injury severity vs helmet no helmet cost has very little to do with what your insurance premium is. In most cases you don't even get med pay unless you add it on to your policy. Then you buy a specific dollar amount. How much you need depends on how good your present medical insurance is. Have none or it is crap well you need to buy a bunch. It is more supplemental than primary. I personally only carry 1K because my work insurance is very good. Cost---27 bucks a year for all 4 bikes. The major determination in your premium is which vehicle you choose to own and insure. Other factors are the county you live in,credit rating,driving record and a few more. My premium on all 4 bikes is 570 dollars a year. Full coverage w/250 deductible. 100/300 liability. Under/uninsured motorist,roadside assistance w/trip interuption. Progressive has just come out with another add on that is called enhanced injury protection. It pays 250 bucks a week for up 2 two years if injured and 25K if you need a pine box. I just added that at 109 bucks a year. For comparison when I added the FJR1300 my premium went up $193. I had my my wife run a quote to add on a 2012 GSXR1000 to the policy----1596 bucks just for the GSXR. So in essence I/Comps have targets on certain vehicles and charge accordingly. They have us by the balls. I wanted to get a Doberman Pincher when I retired but my homeowners insurance company said if you do get one we will drop you. They are on the bad doggy hit list. Also Progressive has just implemented the disappearing deductible in Ohio----deductible drops 25% per yearly renewal if you have no claims. Yes my wife is a licensed agent but we get no discounts because of that.

Well when you have a 2 Crashes and 10 points on your license with an average credit score... that's how it ends.. but fortunately all the stuff (minus the crash) comes off my MVR in 3 months.

Dat drive doe...

I live in Ohio. I never wear my seat belt. I always wear my helmet.

Can you PM me with more details about this?

good a government that is actually giving back people the right to be stupid. About friggin time

Don't some people from OH ride in NC? WTF tho? People on this site talk about all kinds of random things. At least this is riding related.

Brian, @ludwb675 had a great time riding and hanging out with you. As promised, here is that sweet pass you made on the gray bike after the carousel. It's at about 2:10. After that - you were gone!

So..... @Isaac's Papa and @tall_tracy might be driving Harleys soon. http://lanesplitter.jalopnik.com/harley-davidson-might-buy-ducati-and-build-a-motorcycle-1796310363

Short notice,tonight midohio will have tent at quicker stake bike night at Polaris .they will be giving away discount coupons for midohio track days and ruffle tickets for car events.

Ducly Davidson ?

Harley needs a performance division and Ducati needs a better dealer network. Makes since on paper.

About as opposite as it gets. Terrible for both brands.

True story.

I am sure MIKE will be happy to sell you a set just like them.

189 pounds soaking wet.

I want those wheels! shared on fb

Dude....I hope your insurance company gives you a case of lube every year for Christmas....thats crazy... I pay aobut 3k a year, but thats for 2 cars, a motorcycle, and a house.

You guys are nuts, I replace my chain and sprockets every year with the oil.

I work in Dayton. I can meet you somewhere in between no problem so you can check them out and not mess with the mail. Oh no, you want the Sena.

It was nice meeting you and riding with ya. Thanks for posting that! It was nice to get some footage of my body positioning. Looks like i still need to get my head out a bit more. I watched the pass about 10 times! Made it look like i know what i'm doing. haha!

But.. what my low side crash didn't do was send me to the hospital or end my life. So I have that going for me

I'll be full of hate too when I get so old all my favorite things are no longer produced.

Astar jacket and Sidi boots gone to DerekClouser. Pleasure doing business with you Sir. Enjoy that stuff. Now someone buy the rest of my stuff!

While I definitely value everyone's right to choose whether they want to wear a helmet or not, doesn't mean that it doesn't affect affect us as motorcyclists. Our insurance rates go up because crashes that could have been rather meaningless end up being life threatening or life ending because they didn't wear a helmet. My insurance on the GSXR is close to 2600/yr. Sure, it doesn't help that I'm high risk due to several speeding tickets, a low side motorcycle crash, etc., but I'm sure a large percentage of what we pay in insurance is directly affected by others lack of wearing protective gear. Just my .02 and I could be wrong....

Just re-uploaded the image and got it working.

I guess the point I was trying to make is the whole helmet law stuff has been beat to death countless times. Everytime I've been to an OR meetup or ride, everyone wears a helmet and mostly full gear. It's not like we have people outraged by helmet laws and can provide a 2-sided debate. Regardless of law, if someone does decide to ride without a helmet, it's not just their life they are effecting when shit hits the fan. Family's don't wanna take care of a vegetable for the rest of their life.

Here's my .02, not that it matters to anyone else: If you ride a motorcycle, you know the inherent danger presented to you. Therefore you should be able to chose if you want to wear a helmet or not. I, for one, value my head and my face. it may not be the prettiest or the smartest one out there, but it's mine. I'll take care of it by wearing a helmet, and a full face one at that. I know I stand a better chance of survival and not being a vegetable or looking like Sloth from The Goonies should I crash. It should also be said that by signing the title or whatever for your motorcycle that you acknowledge said inherent risks and should you decide to not wear any protective gear, that you assume all liable risk and injury. And if you take a header (pun intended) that you're responsible for yourself and whatever medical issues arise from your own doings. Don't live off of my paycheck, there are already enough wastes of space doing that. Again..this is my opinion, and mine only.

You guys are right, I ordered some Closeout Gloves on STG!

get the right gear... and you wont have to worry about it again.. if the right gloves are holding you back go to iron pony and get a set of 50 buck gauntlets ... this sport can be cheap (trackdays that is) but you still need to set your self up right

Glad to know the real reason OR is here. At first it seemed like a bunch of 14 year old moderators and admins talking about each other's lack of sexual prowess, but then, once in a while, they say something that sounds like they know about motorcycles so I figure they must be 16 or 17 at least. Not sure about the guy who looks like that Korean dictator whackjob - they can probably ride at 14 where he's from. What really confuses me is the guys who only talk about serious moto-related topics. What are they doing here anyway? Something to do with the sock puppets, maybe?

Just over 4 days, a little more than 1300 miles, 4 states, & 2 countries. 4 women, 2 Ducati Monsters, 1 Yamaha R6, & 1 Silverado carrying a Supermoto and all the rest of our gear. Unfortunately our trip contained a crash not long after we crossed into Canada from MI, and after a 5 hour delay at a hospital we continued on without our injured rider. Luckily she only suffered broken bones and road rash... it could have been much worse - the whole thing happened almost right next to me and was very surreal. Once we arrived at the event, there were bikes everywhere at the campground (all kinds from old Royal Enfields to BMW GS1200s to Triumph Scrambers to Harley cruisers and a few supersports). There were 550 women that arrived for a weekend of camping, free drinks, karaoke, live bands and some really beautiful riding thru the Catskills of NY. The weekend was perfect for riding, until Sunday when we left for home. We left early trying to beat a storm, but still hit downpours thru PA that soaked us completely thru our raingear, so we had to stop to dry out and wait for the storm to pass. This was an epic journey for me as I've never taken a motorcycle trip, let alone go camping, all with women I'd never met in person either. I had such a great time meeting women riders from different states and going on my first all women group ride (there were 15 of us)! It was a blast and I hope to go back. And, yes there were lesbians there...
