A popular motorcyclist magazine whose name I forgot rated cheap helmets and expensive helmets. The said that the DOT rating was the determining factor not price. The $50 DOT rated helmet protected just as well as the $1000 DOT rated one.





Snell had differeing criteria that the magazine thought weren't really applicable, but if a helmet has a SNELL rating then it is just as good as another SNELL rated one regardless of price.





I bought my helmet based on 1. Price and Manufacturer.





I found three DOT helmets using Google for less than $100.00. I went to the local store to find my head size by trying helmets on. I then bought the helmet that fit according to where it was made. The maker is in Washington state.





If you want to try before you buy, I'd recommend Cycle Gear.





If you visit a dealer to buy accessories, shop around ALOT.
To be quite honest. Yes you do pay for safety and the most expensive are better but with industry standards etc the biggest difference is comfort, weight and sound. The sub 拢100 helmets will protect you but will not be as plush as the arais and shoeis. Good boots and protective clothes. Personally im very into good solid gloves and cant understand people who dont wear them. The hands are the first thing that touches down in a crash and if they arnt protected. Put this way, with a broken leg you dont need to ask a friend to wipe your bum.


If youre not into dayglo posing gear youll get stuff cheap, besides real bikers spend the money on tyres and trackdays not on designer leathers for the street corner. Next time your out look at all the virgin knee sliders and the untouched edges of the tyres.
helmet- make sure its DOT and snell certified and comfortably fits- its expensive b/c its what is gong to prevent your skull from getting crushed or your face getting rubbed off when you dump your bike(when not if)





jacket- make sure it has armor on the contact points and it has a snug fit, you dont want it bunching up the way a loose bathing suit does around your feet after a dive into the water





gloves- again make sure they fit right and try to get the kevlar ones thats what i wear





boots- DONT wear tennis shoes when riding its great way to mess up your feet and the shifter tears through street shoes pretty quickly
check at cyclegear.com they have some of the best prices on riding gear ,I bought my Joe Rocket jacket there for $100.00 on clearance and my KBC full face helmet only ran me $150.00 ,Frank Thomas gloves ran me around $50.00 ,so if there is a cycle gear store by where you live go in and see what they have they are always having a sell I almost bought a second KBC full face helmet there for $80.00 on a clearance sell ,and most KBC helmet's are DOT and Snell approved
I order all of my stuff from http://motorcycle-superstore.com ...My helmet was $95, my gloves were $35, and my jacket, with armour, was $80...Plus free shipping. Plus if by accident or mistake you ordered wrong size, they will exchange it, no problems. Also I bought a helemt that was defective, 2 times...they took care of it...I highly reccommend them. They also have some awesome female riding gear. Go there and check out the ICON GO GO Bombshell stuff. You will probably like it ( http://motorcycle.motorcycle-superstore.鈥?/a> ) The things are a bit $$$, but your girl friends will hate you, the guys will love you :P What kind of bike do you got?
whaT'S YOUR BRIAN WORTH?


Spend as much as you need to and research it online to get the best head protection that money can buy.


May not seem important now, but when you're sliding down the highway headed for a tree, you won't be thinking about how you saved money on a cheap helmet.
stick whit leather stuff not nil on leather jacket gloves helmet its what fits u best try some helmets before u buy don't just go on-line the helmet has to fit right boots its something very important and if u have the extra get a back protector go on sportbikers.net for more info if u want cheap stuff go on craigslist.com
if you wanna be really safe. theres pants and boots.





helemt is the most important part. aslo just make sure there saftey approved because there is usually diffrence by name


and added features





like ventalation, noise... and so forth.
There are some fully certified helmets that are very affordable. Just make sure what you get is dot and snell certified and fits you well, a $600 helmet isn't 6x better...maybe 10% better if that. Shop around.
you can't put a price on safety


take it from a girl who was on the back of a bike that broadsided a car


i still got hurt but not as bad as it could have been
Because they protect your brain. So use them, and pay the money. And don't buy a helmet you can't try on. Its you head.





Do you know what EMS calls no-helmet riders? Organ donors.
do you want to cheap out on the single most important piece of safety equipment you'll need?


if you want a cheap helmet, go on ebay there are cheap dot helmets on there.... i wouldn't.... but i'm not cheap
If you have a $9.95 head, then buy a $9.95 helmet. I chose to pay a little more for mine, thank you.
$10 helmets are for $10 heads............





mine cost me $700 Australian dollars..





but I think my heads worth it..
KBC modular helmet is good bang for the buck.


Wear boots that cover your ankles. NON steel toe.
Ummm, boots.

What would your reaction be if someone told you that your advice..?

through Y/A Got someone killed / commit suicide?


A) GUILT GUILT GUILT / Shame





B) Not Care





C) What the F*** people listen to my advice on Y/A?





D) I'll take a popcorn with that troll, please.What would your reaction be if someone told you that your advice..?
You can see how incredibly ignorant some people are by reading these answers....but solid confirmation that most advice given on this site should not be taken seriously.


It's hard to understand how someone who is suffering immensely feels and how they are thinking.


Remember, that the majority of people who are in such a situation are quite young - they are extremely impressionable and their behavior often seems irrational.


It would of course depend on what I said, but if it was extemely insensitive and uncalled for I would definitely feel guilty.


Anyone who would make such a comment and truly not feel guilt over its consequence is garbage, plain and simple.What would your reaction be if someone told you that your advice..?
Definitely ';D.';





And if it WERE true...they don't deserve to live anyhow. Anyone who is so *stupid* that they'd commit suicide because of Y!Q%26amp;A is an idiot and doesn't need to be sharing oxygen with the rest of us.
D
The Only advice I give is Godly and uplifting.





But I would care if someone killed himself...regardless if it's on Y!A or not.
A, D





I would hope that my answers to questions will be uplifting. With the view of Religious belief they are controversial, but hopefully they make people think.





If I found out that someone killed themselves because of one of my answers, I would feel sorry and empathy and would question my replies. It is the only human thing to do.





Of course you may be Trollish and not Human.
A first D later.
C
It would reinforce the idea that there are a lot of mentally disturbed people on this site.
I would feel horrible about it. But then again, I hope that no one here really takes things that seriously.





Most of the other sections are places for honest discussion and the providing of facts. But this is religion, where facts are few and the opinions as varied as the people who frequent this section.
D
Depends on the situation. I would never ever agree with harming an innocent person.





Suicide - what one does with their own body is their decision. If someone does not want to live anymore, why make them?





Murder - As I said, hurting the innocent is WRONG. But - if someone is on here talking about their stepdad who rapes and brutally beats them everyday and they gain courage from words written here and have to commit murder in order to save themselves from such a horrible person that doesn't deserve to live, more power to them.





I don't think there is anything wrong with killing a bad person no matter who you or they are.
Probably a combination of B %26amp; C. In the end we're all responsible for our own actions. Anyone even a little upset by something written here should log off and never come back because this place is playland compared to the real world.





If someone is driven to suicide by someone else's differing opinion, or they took advice from a place like this, they were living on borrowed time. They didn't have a chance of surviving in this world.
C. Frankly, if they killed themselves after reading anything on here, they were probably going to do it anyway.
A!!! Gosh. I should hope that never happens. Even if it isn't directly, it still contributing.....sheesh
E) Epic lulz
I would wonder why anyone would think my advice was that influential.
Relax. It seems half the folks in here are only roleplaying anyway.
Well re: suicide-- since the person would be dead - how would anyone on here know about the death - let alone know that they had caused the suicide/death.





If someone came on Y!A and said they were going to suicide - I wouldn't believe them.





Re: killing someone -- it isn't something I would be running around admitting so again - I would believe them.
E) Wonder what they did wrong! Know that they did something wrong.
A and then D
D, combined with the realization that if anyone were so screwed up that the anonymous words of an anonymous poster on the internet could ';drive them to suicide'; or murder, then they were WELL beyond any help I could have offered in the first place.
D.
d
That is tough. I wouldn't be giving advise anyway only an opinion and they are like butts everyone has one.

    Including creating a business plan.

    I need advice about someone who is cutting herself?

    I'm 22 and my sister's nephew (he's 14) told me that his 12 yr old girlfriend cut herself about 25 times on her wrists. I feel obligated to say something and I have her name and the phone number to the school she goes to. Am I making the right decision about calling her school counselor? I don't know this girl but I really feel like I should tell someone to get her some help. Any advice would be appreciated.I need advice about someone who is cutting herself?
    Run, don't walk to get some help for this kid who is in pain. Yes, tell her school counselor and anyone dealing with teens and preteens should be up to date on these types of self-harm injuries. Here's a quick article on what it's all about:





    http://www.helpguide.org/mental/self_inj鈥?/a>I need advice about someone who is cutting herself?
    You are going in the right direction. She definitely needs help. Think of how you would feel if something more drastic happened and you never said anything.


    You're doing the right thing by contacting someone who could either handle the situation or contact someone else who could.
    Yes, you are definitely doing the right thing and helping this girl by contacting her counselor, she really sounds like she needs help very badly but is probably scared to seek it. Don't hesitate to do it.
    Yes, call her school or her parents.
    Call her parents.
    Yes, you need to call the counselor about this girl. She's needs help. You maybe the one to save her from killing her self!!





    P.S. Just wondering is this girl from Idaho??
    she is tryng to get attention......anyones for that matter.....she has troubles and she needs some attention.....give her the attention and try to talk her into seeing a psychiatrist
    Make the call!!!!---how will you feel if she really did do herself fatal damage and you had done nothing.
    Try these. God bless you.





    1-800-DONTCUT Help for ';cutters';





    http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/c鈥?/a>
    your sister's nephew's girlfriend???? have you met this girl?ever seen the cuts? or are you seriously considering spreading an unconfirmed rumour to someone who could cause all sorts of problems in her life? you will certainly make things worse .you don't even know her! mind your own business!!!and save your money and go and buy yourself a life!
    YES, she needs help. Call the councilor, call her parents. Hopefully they will get her the help she needs before she really hurts herself...
    A person who will hurt themselves needs professional help. I have a family member like that. She needed to get on meds so she could think more clearly. Today she is wonderful. Thankfully we got her to a doctor in time.
    Dont call her parents, you dont know what her personal situation is. She is suffereing from something that is making her do this. The reasons she is cutting herself could be very traumatic for her, and her parents may just be the worst people to call. What if her parents are abusing her, and I am not saying they are, because people who self mutilate do so for many reasons, but a lot of them do it because they have suffered some kind of abuse...and I just wouldnt take the risk of involving the parents right now until it is clear what her problem is. I find School counsellors are also not the best people to involve either because they may not have the experience with self mutilation. If I were you I would ring the local mental health team, if you have one, or a psychiatric institution and ask them what is the best thing to do in this case.





    Its a really difficult situation if you dont know the cause of this girl cutting herself....get some professional opinions, not from people on here...its too dicey, you are risking the well being of this child if you take matters into your own hands without first finding out from a professional person what would be the best thing to do. A counsellor is not a psychiatrist. Most self harmers are referred to psychiatrists for treatment....so that would be the far better option in my opinion.





    Good luck, this girl needs help, but she needs the right kind of help....please do not take anyones advice on here....Ring a professional.
