Additional Motorcycle Helmet related info
Just like every motorcycle rider is different, so are those riders’ head shapes. And, as such, I’m sure you can imagine, if a helmet fits tighter on some areas of your head and looser on others resulting in unbalanced pressure points, that could negatively impact the safety benefits of using a helmet if that helmet (and head) is involved in a high energy impact event. For this reason, the federal government has come up with a guide to help motorcycle riders – Choose the Right Motorcycle Helmet.
Every responsible motorcycle rider knows, with riding motorcycles come added personal safety risks – they know that, they accept that. Yet, those same riders often times don’t know or have simply forgotten those precious few motorcycle safety tips that could save their lives. So, for those riders (which is just about all of us), take just a FEW MINUTES to look over this list of the Top 10 Motorcycle Safety Facts Every Motorcycle Rider Should Know … it could SAVE YOUR LIFE!!!

The current state of motorcycle helmet laws across the 50 US states is something that changes over time and has nuances that often are not described well by available governing resources. Therefore, if at any time you see something on this site that you feel is inaccurate we will welcome that information and take appropriate action if you will simply give us the information and the source(s) of motorcycle helmet law information you have. We do ask that you provide us with an authoritative source of information such as a government website or government office we can contact as non-government sources can provide information that simply is not verifiable. Either way, we hope you help keep this free and voluntary site of US motorcycle helmet law state information as valuable as possible.
