While cleaning up the garage the other day, it occurred to me that I have a number of different helmets for different leisure activities. I have a couple of motorcycle helmets for when I go on rides on my Harley Davidson. I also have a different helmet for racing my cars. A helmet is required for both road racing with the SCCA as well as when I hit the drag strip. While considering these helmets, I realized I also have a helmet up in St. Germain, WI where I ride my snowmobiles. It seems like having fun equates to wearing a helmet…
I realize other friends get real exercise and often wear helmets on their bicycles. I have a bike – but I do not own a helmet for it. I probably should, but I ride it once every third year so it is not a good investment… There are football helmets, and baseball batter’s helmets, etc, etc.
The head is a pretty important part of the body. I think I will continue to protect it. Being bald, I also wear a lot of hats in the summer to keep it from burning. Not quite a helmet – but still a protective device for us bald guys.
