What kind of insurance coverage do you have to carry to not where a helmet?

10 grand worth of medical coverage. In Larry's case, he was likely on private property and wouldn't even have needed that.

The folks that don't wear helmets will argue that they can see and hear better. Personally, I don't ride without a full coverage DOT approved helmet, steel toe leather boots and long jeans. I sure as heck wouldn't be standing on a seat either. But to each their own. He died doing what he loved, and that's more than most of us get to do.

not wise, just careful.

Last week, when Darrell, Rex and I were going out riding, I had to run to Krogers to get some cash outta the ATM. It's not far from my house to Krogers, but as always, I had all my gear on. I came out of Krogers, mounted up, and was putting on my helmet when a car stopped behind me and a lady got out. She walks around to me and says "thank you". I was kinda stumped and asked "what for?" She just smiled and pointed to the EMS patch on her shirt and said "for wearing your helmet". Seems the EMS has a very high opinion on wearing helmets.

To each his own though.
