Motorbike Helmets – To Wear Or Not To Wear

That is the question! Or should it be? There are still several states that leave that choice up to you! Riding motorcycles can be very dangerous I feel that wearing motorcycle helmets should be mandatory.

This is one thing that the government should not leave up to you to decide! There are certain safety precautions you need to take when you perform certain activities, and riding on a motorcycle at high speeds is definitely one of them! The government makes it mandatory for you to wear your seat belt when riding in an automobile.

So why should they not make it mandatory to wear a motorbike helmet when riding your bike! It is definitely more risky to ride a motorcycle without a helmet then to ride in a car without a seat belt. If you were to get into an accident on your bike at a fair speed with a motorcycle helmet on it could almost guarantee you serious head trauma if not death! I believe the government in the few states that still leave this option up to you should make it mandatory for motorcycle riders to wear their helmet as soon as possible!

Lives our being lost because of ignorant riders thinking that it will never happen to them! It is essential that wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle law be passed immediately! To those of you out there that live in one of this states that still leaves it up to PLEASE just put a lid on! It will save your LIFE!

Here is a good place to start your search for your very own motorbike helmets.

Vespa Scooters-A Greener Alternative to the Rolls Royce

Vespa scooters possess an air of elegance and stylish design not usually associated with motor bikes/scooters.

Built with the typical Italian eye for design, Vespa scooters rolled off the production line in the 1940’s as an alternative to the motor bike. The Vespa had it’s main mechanical parts shielded from the rider by a metal casing. This allowed the rider to enjoy a dirt free ride and proved to be very popular in Italy where Italians always have a desire to look elegant and stylish under any circumstances.

As a consequence, Italians were able to zip round post war Italy on their Vespa scooters smartly dressed and probably wearing their Raybans with a cigarette hanging from the corner of their mouths.

The “Vespa look” was tailor made for the silver screen and before too long the Vespa started appearing in Italian movies such as Fellini’s La Dolce Vita.

Hollywood soon followed and Vespa scooters appeared in a number of high profile movies such as An American in Paris, The Conversation and American Graffiti. The Vespa played a prominent role in the British movie Quadrophenia which sparked a new craze for the Vespa in the U.K.

Many of the world’s top movie stars rode around on Vespa scooters. Charlie Chaplin, Ursula Andress and Louis Armstrong all owned a Vespa. More recently the Vespa is favoured by Jamie Oliver, Sarah Jessica Parker and Gwyneth Paltrow, Mickey Rourke was even arrested for drink driving whilst on his Vespa !

2008 is proving to be a particularly successful year for Vespa scooters as it benefits from the rising popularity of scooters across the globe. Scooters are far more economical than cars, able to deliver between 70 – 120 miles to the gallon (an average family car would probably reach 40 miles to the gallon) ! In today’s climate of volatile oil prices then it’s not difficult to see why scooters are considered the greener alternative for the city commuter.

In London, scooters are also exempt from the congestion charge and cost less to put on the road than motor cars. If you work in the city then a scooter could be the answer to your commuting problems.

And with inner city driving then a scooter is an ideal way to get to work. No more wasted hours queuing in traffic jams and that wonderful feeling of satisfaction as you overtake all the standing cars to get to the front of the traffic queue.

The smaller sized Vespa’s come in 50 cc and 125 cc categories and the minimum age to ride one is 16 years old and 17 years old respectively.

Anything above that and you are looking at a “motorcycle class” licence i.e. 150 cc upwards. Unlike 50 cc scooters which are factory restricted to a top speed of 30 miles per hour the more powerful scooters such as a 150 cc or a 250 cc perform at the same levels as a motorbike.

With motorists being taxed off the road in recent years then a scooter makes a very sensible alternative even if only used for commuting. If you are tempted with scooters then Vespas are believed to be the “Rolls Royce” of scooters and with Vespa accessories such as goggles and Vespa style open faced helmets on the market you will also be the coolest cat in town.
