Man dies after motorcycle crashes during helmet protest ride

Has anyone nominated this guy for a Darwin award?

A guy who dies of a head injury from not wearing a helmet while protesting helmet laws certainly deserves at least a nomination for a Darwin award.

The Darwin awards- Honoring those who improve the species...by accidentally removing themselves from it!

Come on folks ,,post your bike.

Notice that I'm "defending freedom" by not wearing a helmet in this pic.

Why am I not surprised?

You really do hate your fellow man don't you?

Seems like almost every post I see from you is extolling the virtues of the death of those that do not meet your "standards".

What a bitter, lonely existence.

How do I upload a pic from my hard drive so that it shows here?

Pussies.

When I belonged to ABATE back in the day, it stood for A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments.

When I belonged it stood for All Binoculars Are Totally Excellent

upload it to a photosharing site and then use the insert picture icon when creating a message and copy the photo's url into it.

That's what I thought, thanks, I might get around to showing off my first Harley...an 81 Sturgis that I bought as a leftover in 82 when I graduated high school. I still have all the original parts for it. I traded in my 76 Triumph Tiger for it.

The only time I have ever worn a helmet, other than on a dirt bike, was when passing through other states. They are restrictive and dangerous.

You can see that I agree.

If your handle means you have a show-quality Panhead, I want to see a pic of that too.

I shamefully admit that I laughed at first, then I felt like shit (because his cause was just). I hate you government.

What are you talking about?

I don't hate this guy, I just think he found a completely ridiculous way to die. Flying off a motorcycle and dying of a head injury while protesting helmet laws? C'mon, you've got to admit, that's a pretty spectacular way to go out.

His death should not be in vain. He deserves recognition, that's all I'm saying.

BTW, I'm against mandatory helmet laws, but if people refuse to wear a helmet and suffer the consequences, I reserve the right to call them on their idiocy.

Idiocy? He would have died with or without a helmet in that accident, IMO. The statistics, last I checked, placed the odds of dying from lack of helmet vs with a helmet at about even. Please elaborate.

Interesting. Learn something every day. I'm going to have to investigate that hybrid.
