A Reminder to always wear a helmet.

I was leaning into a left hand corner when all the sudden I was flipped onto my right side, face first into the pavement.

not really sure what happened after that.

somehow i got back on the bike and rode home. (i don't remember how)

sat on the couch in my livingroom..........and forgot how i got there.

My dad happen to come over to my house, i told him about my memory loss.

we went to the hospital, i got a catscan, My brain seems to be fine now

I am very sore now, but it would have been way worse, if I did not have a helmet.

Glad your OK! a good learning lesson to always wear a helmet! Hope you have no lasting effects!

Good reminder and most important you are ok. Props for your full face helmet.

Michigan does not require helmets, but I choose to wear one.

Im glad someone uses a helmet.. so many people choose not to wear one..
be safe man!

Please do.

This crash happened at low speed (under 25 mph).

But it happened in the blink of an eye.

Yes indeed. I still have no recall of the actual crash. But it had to have been a high-side.

There is no other explanation for landing face first on my right side while making a left hand corner.

I know. I see motorcycle riders every day with no helmets on.

When they passed the laws that made it legal to ride with no helmet, i thought most riders would still wear one.

My full face helmet really helped me out this time.

.....And for those of you who were wondering , but may have thought it was rude to ask, my scooter is just fine.

Only thing that happened to my 1987 elite was a scrape on the pipe and a busted front right blinker.

Glad to see you diddnt end up taking a long dirt nap

did you have your plastics on?

my helmets saved my life in a dirt bike crash..... didn't help save either elbow from snapping though

do any guys not wear a full face mask on the forum? are "just head" or "bowl top" helmets not considered feminine in your area?

It wasn't before?
