I’ve been told that in real estate the three most important features to look for in a buy position are location, location and location. In motorcycle riding it should be helmets, helmets and helmets. Of course wearing a helmet is a choice, at least it is at this point, but not wearing a helmet while riding on a rural road can be risky business. And for one 18 and a 19 year old in Sioux County it was too risky and resulted in their being injured and taken to Sanford Medical Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. One, the 18 year old was flown by medical helicopter, which indicates the seriousness of his injuries. Protect your brain by wearing a helmet. It's the only one you'll ever have to use. None of us are so smart that we can afford to risk permanently damaging the brain we have. Be smart and wear your helmet.

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation publishes the MSF Guide to Motorcycling Excellence.

“In a clear, engaging style with detailed diagrams and extensive full-color photographs and illustrations, the book covers rider attitude, protective riding gear, pre-ride inspection, maintenance, and troubleshooting, as well as basic and advanced street skills. Tips on how to create a “space cushion” to avoid traffic hazards; stop quickly; countersteering and counterweightning; manage traction; position your body for smoother, more consistent riding; travel skillfully and safely in a group; maneuver effectively and efficiently in off-highway riding; and much more, are included. The new edition also features advice from legendary racers Kevin Schwantz, Freddie Spencer, Nick Ienatsch, Rich Oliver, and Reg Pridmore, as well as contributions from Erik Buell on motorcycle geometry, Keith Code on countersteering, and Paul Thede on suspension adjustment, among other experts. 192 pages.

The Harley-Davidson website offers safety accessories that include helmets.

Be smart by protecting your head and brain from injury.
