"Never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference."

I check the comments on this blog regularly. The idea is that we're going to have a conversation about the ideas I've presented. You should be aware of the fact that when someone emails me an interesting comment, the odds are good that I'll post that in the comments anonymously and reply to that comment on the blog rather than in email.
I know I personally convinced at least two non helmet wearers to start when I told them my Bambi vs Suzuki story and what happened to my almost new Bell M2. If not for that chin bar and face shield I would have lost a lot of flesh from nose and chin. It's an interesting sensation sliding along face down watching the pavement inches away.
It is. Helmets have saved either my life or my face or what passes for my mental function several times. I ground all the way through the fiberglass into the foam when I crashed in the Yukon in 2007. That was probably my closest to death call.
