I was recently discussing road experiences with some fellow riders and we agreed that drivers can be oblivious to motorcycles. When this happens, we are the ones who suffer. We agreed that we never head out on a ride without a helmet (ideally a Snell rated helmet), since we’ve all seen trouble on the road.
We started thinking about the helmet laws in different states and looked them up out of curiosity. We were surprised by the wide variation of the laws in place.
In looking more closely at the current helmet laws, it seems that three states have no helmet laws whatsoever: Illinois, Iowa, and New Hampshire. Several others only require riders up to 17 or 20 years old to wear helmets.
Even for the experienced rider, it’s always a good idea to ride safely and wear a motorcycle helmet. You may be a skilled rider, but what about the other guys on the road?
We sell motorcycle helmets, many of which are Snell rated helmets, and aim to bring you the best prices around for a very simple reason: We want to make helmets affordable and accessible to as many riders as possible. Having a motorcycle helmet is an excellent precaution (as well as law to a varying degree throughout the U.S.). Why take a chance with your life? So let’s ride safe and have fun while doing it.
What experiences make you a loyal helmet lover?
