NightRider Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 I don't know what is about the riders in Lancaster. I would say 90-95% of the riders don't wear a helmet. It's all about show to them. Can anyone see their face while riding?? Can anyone hear their bike? They're all fair weather riders too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrocket04 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 I rode without a helmet yesterday from my house to Kroger. Exactly one block from my house, and no faster than 25mph. Still wasn't comfortable, I just didn't feel like going back in for my helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am VERY adamant about ATGATT.Most of the time, someone else has already posted it up by the time I see them, since I don't read the news very much.

ReconRat Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Yeah, lol... safe at 25mph. I jumped off the side of a moving jeep at about 25mph, when I was a kid. I thought feet would get moving. I thought wrong. Feet went clip clip spat. I got two steps and flipped over on my back. In between the pavement tried to crush my skull when I flipped over. I quick threw my forearm up to block it. Had a nice 4"x6" road rash scar on the arm for a couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read a few posts on here of Tom doing stupid stuff. This one is about the tops though! Maybe this kind of stuff is what makes some of us smarter? Learning from experience.

Fazerlady Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 If you are lucky enough to move on....RIP !!!Kinda interesting went on a ride yesterday...and I acually hesitate wearing my summerweight mc gear b/c I want maximum protection if something should happen. I could never ever get on my bike in shorts and tshirt, or even without a helmet. Sure freaks me out how some people ride here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey1 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 The true sadness for the Holtrey family is they just buried his younger brother yesterday! His brother had cerebral palsy and died suddenly on Monday and his funeral was yesterday. I am speculating that Jeremy may have been overcome with grief and made the worst mistakes of his life last night that resulted in his family having to bury a second son. RIP and prayers sent for the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garysol1 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Coming back from Cleveland last night heading west on 90 I drove past a survey crew that had 3 lanes closed. A Harley Bagger was on it's side up against the fast lane retaining wall. Didn't look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
