Personally a small annoyance of mine is people who spend thousands of dollars on a streetbike, then skimp on the items to protect them and keep them as safe as possible.



But, hey darwinism keeps the shallow end of the gene pool from becoming overcrowded.

No car and motorcycle helmets are not that same! Esp as far as sanctioning bodies are concerned. "M" rated helmets are designed for a completely diff type of impact. For your car - get an "SA" rated helmet.
