My motorcycle son was telling me about this the other day.
A soft helmet will not protect the head and face from penetrating objects - but it is much better than wearing nothing at all.
I just don't understand these HD riders around here - spending $ on a massive bike and full leathers, boots, gloves, and wearing a watch cap.
I used to hear people say they would not wear a seat belt in a car - because they did not want to be trapped and burned up in a wreck. Now they have no choice.
No helemt law in Ohio.
