Hey Mike you are a nice guy and everyone is entitled to an opinion. I didn't intend to open a can of worms here.....just wanted to know what the law
was in baja. You could ride butt naked for all I care and if you banged your noggen I would send a contribution to the trust fund for a drool bib and
colostomy bag. Hope we meet again for dinner some day.....last time was fun.

From someone who does the scraping up.
I don't care what you wear. Most head injuries in vechicle crashes are from unrestrained victims. See it all the time, the passenger compartement is
intact but that head thru the windshield or on the road is a little hamburgered. If they had just stayed in the car they'd be walking around. Up to
you.
Most bike wrecks are pretty benign. It's that little bump on an unhelmeted head that's a b-tch.
Just stay insured so your family doesn't have to suck it up.

The original question was whether there is a helmet law in Baja, it seems there is. There is also a seat belt law, I know from experience. I was
motioned to the side of the road in San Jose del Cabo for not wearing one. I had just lost my wallet and all of my ID (another story) and while
waiting for the cop's superior to arrive, I pointed out to the cop that motioned me over that virtually every local driving by was not wearing a seat
belt. He just shrugged. I, fortunately, did not have to pay a fine, but be aware that if you do not wear a seat belt or a motorcycle helmet you open
yourself up to helping support the local economy a little more than you intended. But then, a broken windshield or almost anything else will earn you
the same right.

The rational for not wearing a helmet is that your head is saved but your spinal cord is severed at the neck leaving you a quad.This is what you hear
from anti - helmet people.I think it should be personal choice.Let those who don't want to wear one pay a MUCH higher insurance premium than the
rest.Insurance is null and void if you goof and haven't payed the extra premium.Your medical care comes out of a fund created by the extra payed by
the no helmit carriers .Your bike is not covered. Lets send this idea to the Terminator and see what he says.As a bike rider I'm sure he has some
ideas on the subject.Maybe he'll put it to a referendum.Adios.Hyme

hola Grover, interesting stuff,
i wear a shoulder restraint in my comanche that i paid a lot to have retrofitted as it was not stock in 1961!
feeel its $$ well worth the investment as i do not want to have my panel knobs embedded into my forehead when i rapidly lose forward momentum! as for
takeoff and landing phases....i think i want total freedom of movement and all sensory input unrestrained.....but WTF, you can't win them all.
i do enjoy a solo ride down a long deserted stretch of road when its warm sans a helmet, AZ lets us choose to do that if/when appropriate! if i was on
a dirt bike or quad ratting around the des, i't be with a good helmet. its a matter of intelligent choice here.
Bus, if you're cooking, i'm eating.....i'll bring the wine and an opposing view if called for! debate is fun! i'm even swayed at times from my
generally intractible positions!

I have to agree with Frank O and Hyme7of9
This is a hard one for me, it shouldn't be the "law' to mandate (IMHO) stupity....Adults have the right figure out what is right or wrong for
themselves, as long as they aren't putting others in danger because of their choices, what I forgot....(for a moment), was the people like FrankO and
others (such as my Uncle Terry, who left his job as a Cop to go somewhere where they have no cars, he scraped one too many little girls off the road)
is that THEY have to deal with the carnage and grief of the people THEY have to inform when these choices are made. Soooo, is it really toooo much
to ask that everyone do everything we can to protect the people that we love? And protect the people that we don't even know who try to protect us?
