Hi
I like bikes and used to ride pillion but not in the USA, not any more
The drivers (not bikers) are crazy here, and so many bikers were killed or injured this year
What I cannot understand is why bikers are allowed to ride bikes without proper head gear

Because adults make decisions for themselves regarding their personal safety. They're not being "allowed" to ride without helmets, drivers are being forced to wear seatbelts.

Hi
Yes you do have a valid point
Perhaps it should be compulsary, think of the lives that could be saved and familes would still have their loved ones
Unfortunatley, not all adults want to make the most sensible choices. When I first used to ride I never used to wear protective clothing or helmet.
It wasn't until our best friend had a serious accident and lost a leg , that I saw the light.
As a result of the accident, our friend, lost his job, medically unfit, gilfriend and home!
