I wonder what that would do to your two front teeth?Same here. I've a whole shelf of old "veteran" helmets. My favorite is the Shoei I was wearing when the crazy lady ran the stop light in Portland going 45 miles an hour and t-boned me. The broken leg and arm was bad, but my helmet, well without it, it was a fatal event.
I gave up open face helmets in the 70's when a large rock split my lip, loosened two teeth, and damn near took me off my bike on the freeway. That said, I'm more in the camp of not being one who appreciates the government telling me I have to do anything. Helmets included. But given my experiences, I just can't get comfortable when I'm on the bike wearing anything less than complete coverage. But that's just me. YMMV.
Damn... did you see the threads in the middle portion of the lug bolt that were worn smooth? :blink:A guy was killed this past Friday when two wheels flew off a garbage truck and one of them hit him.Link
I see what Iggy means about misleading thread titles! I thought this was something about Catholic Priests or riding with a brain bucket and no glasses?https://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2008/0...es.minivan.wtmj

A few years back I was in a Tacoma I had and a car tire bounced by me on I-59 in Birmingham. The next bounce sent it into the lane I was in and came down on the top of the windshield of a car behind me. That would be even more nerve wrenching on a bike, or probably kill you if it landed on you...Waay back in 75, riding a cb750 honda on the 405 in LaLa land, a truck tire went OVER me...

Different -- but, similar is/are the stuff thrown into trailered boats, often wet -- then dries, that flies out while going down the road. Happens all the time -- swim suits, towels, styrofoam coolers, etc. I give them all (trailers) a wide-berth.I watched a wheel from a bass boat trailer, hub and all, break loose on a 2-lane highway in north Alabama last year. It crossed into the oncoming traffic...
