Ahh, the memories: you think you're indestructible when you're young- When I was 17, I was totaly against the wearing of motorcycle helmets (it's the law here in the UK). I came off an RD350LC (car driver's fault) and got a broken pelvis and lots of skin grafts. However, the most chilling thing was when they gave me back my full face helmet- the front bit that goes round your chin was snapped clean off and the left hand top side looked like someone had taken an angle grinder to it for ten minutes... I would have been 100% dead as a doornail without the lid.
As an aside, after the first car ploughed into the bike's side, another car coming from the head on direction ran over me and stopped on top of me (hence skingrafts from the car exhaust pipe)... the police who lifted the car off me said that if it was an older, lower to the ground, car my body might have gone under it, but me head wouldn't have... what a head pluck! lol
