[quote Pat]And I'll have to agree with BGnR, the only time I went down on my Vespa was on a quick jaunt to 7-11 for smokes. Screwing around riding wheelies, came down crossed up. Helmets were not required in CA then. As a result I made at least one dentist plenty of money, and have pretty much had a goatee for the past 20 years to cover the scars.
Why I did not wear a helmet on the street when I always wore one in the dirt is beyond me. I guess I always planned on going down in the dirt, and never on the street. Proved myself half wrong.
Glad your alive to tell the story!
Chuck Woolery (Love Connection host) lost a son who was just going to the corner store, helmet was in the bikes saddlebags, nerfed a curb at ten MPH, head first into the street, DOA.
