Guys, after 15 years riding with different types of arai, I decided to buy
something completely different.
Wearing Glasses all the time, I was thinking about a more modular full
facer. I tried the Schubert, the BMW, a Nolan and at last I stumbled over a
Belgian Lazer.
I buy it cause it looks
I would be carefull on the "any helmet sold in US" statement. Just think there
are snowmobile helmets out there that are not used on the street.

I think if you read carefully what Phil wrote, you would agree that his "any

we are referring to motorcycle helmets in the entire discussion it seems to

The nice thing about neon anything is higher visibility. That's one reason
I chose a helmet that had bright neon colors! HIGHER VISIBILITY.

Granted, the risk is slight, as the officer would have to closely inspect
the helmet and know what to look for. In the real world, odds of this
happening are slim.
Cops are not stupid, generally. Around here, in Montgomery Co. MD at least,
they have to have a college education.

Besides I only wear Arai, my suggestion was for those that wanted to

I forgot to add that the State of Florida in a moment of infinite wisdom
repealed the helmet law back in July. So now we have the Darwinian

The only problem with the Darwinian Process, is that it is so slow.

I must have missed that discussion about HTML email during my recent
absence.
I've never heard of a server that won't allow plain text email to be
sent but only HTML.
I was under the impression that the format of the email was up to the
client.
And, from what I can see by looking at the headers

Jon Crisler, and others have to go thru Exchange Servers (I don't), and I
think that is where the problem lies.

The problem with the Darwin factor is that it doesn't make any difference
with a helmet. Considering all those that die with one on.
What do you call that? No helmet ever prevented a crash nor do any
helmet manufactures claim it will save you. In fact every helmet I've had
there was
T standard as the measure of
"acceptability" so the lack of that little decal is what gets you a
ticket. Sadly, there are firms that sell DOT stickers, and there are
riders who stick them on replica Nazi helmets, "puddin' bowl" replicas,
and..heck, I suspect Viking hats (right Sven?)
This is true. In all helmet law states, DOT approval is required for sale.
The only non-DOT helmets are cheapies, usually bought by people trying to
skirt the law who have heads that aren't worth protecting anyway.
DOT requirements are very minimal. Snell standards are pretty tough

I must say I do agree with this author. As a dutch cop, I've seen my share

The government does good things and bad things. Requiring that everyone
have special insurance for any activity that they do, makes no sense.
It makes a lot of sense if you are an insurance company and you have the
lobbying power to get politicians to see things your way! They very much
know
Just think of it as the gene pool taking care of itself :)
I actually get a good laugh when I hear a story like this.

The idea of insurance is that we all put in our money and then we all get
to do more or less what we want, knowing that if we have accidents our
