I don't know where to start on this subject. In my amature-professional motocross racing career I've have 6 (registered) Concussions. Granted I was partaking in racing, which is more risky then street riding. But the fact is, even as we fly 25 feet up and up to 100 feet out, we are really only going a MAXIMUM of 65. But I would say an average of only 45 mph..... and let's not for get, we are on much more forgiving surface... dirt.

My doctors keep telling me I've had too many and the next one could be the "last one" (but I read up on it 10 concussions may have long term unchangeable effects). But if I didnt have a helmet on, I'm sure I would not be able to write this now.

People are stupid, when we make decisions with our heart. And that is motorcycle riding. Your heart and soul are "free". We should not be making decisions that will change the corse of our lives in that mind set.

Helmets should be used at all times, NO EXCUSSES!!! (Bicycles too!)
