Wear your helmets guys. Warning: Graphic images inside.
My cousin is lucky to be alive. He lives in Minot and was cruising around town on his sportbike without his helmet, and was making a lane change and the car in front of him stopped and he went right into the back of it.
He is ok, and coherent, he was up walking around right after the accident and a lady told him to sit down and wait for the ambulance. He was talking last night as well and surprisingly recalls everything.
Wear your helmets guys, my cousin is lucky to be alive right now.

He was the same way. And this was around town, but shit happens no matter where you are. I can see no reason why you wouldnt wear a helmet at all times. They look cool, (a lot cooler than he looks now), plus they protect you from being a vegetable or worse.

Re: Wear your helmets guys. Warning: Graphic images inside.
Holy Fawk. Damn right he is lucky, the way his head is smashed in like that. Fuckin ouch. The fact that his skull cracked there might be what saved him from some major hemorrhaging/brain trauma

Re: Wear your helmets guys. Warning: Graphic images inside.
Holy shit... He's lucky, with injuries like that it could have been A LOT worse.
This is why you watch for bikes and don't make any sudden maneuvers around them.
But helmets are important too.

Re: Wear your helmets guys. Warning: Graphic images inside.
two kinds of bike riders...
those that have crashed and those that will.
very good to hear he is doing well. my sister in law rides around with her hubby on a harley without helmets all the time. I say to her, at least put me down as the beneficiary on your life insurance policy.....

ATGATT. It always sucks to see someone go down. I'm glad he's ok for the most part though.

Re: Wear your helmets guys. Warning: Graphic images inside.
It really is only a matter of time before something bad happens on a bike and you can becareful and drive safe but some idiot will always cut you off or slam on the breaks infront of you. My buddie dumped his bike going 30mph and still got wrecked, scarred for life now. It honestly looks like he slid accross the pavement on his head but with his legs in the air above him. Do you think he will ever get on a bike again?
