World Class Service
Hi,
I wanted to express my gratitude to the team at Iron Horse Helmets. I was in a pickle because I had failed to follow through on a promise made to complete an order for a friend and Todd came to my rescue by expediting my request.
Outstanding service was given even after business hours.
I sent a message via the chat and Todd reach out during his personal time to assure me that they understood my concern and that help was on the way. I received a call from Todd first thing next business day and he promptly handled the order and made sure my promise was kept.
This was not my first order and most certainly will not be my last! -by the way... 1st order needed special attention too ;)- *i'm kind of a pest*
AnyWho... Thank Todd your the Bestest
Your friend,
Sebrina :)

Welcome to Music Monday
Did you think that Iron Horse Helmets employees only listens to 80's hair bands?
I would normally answer yes, but we also listen to Paul Young. Oh, you don't know Paul. Paul's one hit (he had two hits, but the other one sucks) is the star of this music Monday:

Ride American T-shirt
Do you know who designs our T-shirts? No, not a man in India!
Our customers design our shirts. Kevin Lincoln designed this cool Ride American shirt and he even ordered four of them.
We would like to thank Kevin and we might even pay in twenty five cents per sale. But I doubt it.

Refueling debate over motorcycle helmets
By Greg Peck
November 29, 2013
It might be an odd time of year to debate the value of motorcycle helmets, but a new story and a study have prompted a handful of letters on the topic to The Gazette in recent days.
The first came from Rex Fritschi of Elkhorn. His letter cited a story in The Economist. That publication interviewed Dr. Lori Terryberry-Spohr from Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital in Lincoln, Neb. She said that while Nebraska requires helmets, neighboring Iowa, Kansas and South Dakota do not and hospital officials usually can guess which patients aren't from Nebraska. She says victims of motorcycle accidents who weren't wearing helmets typically run up $1.3 million in direct medical costs and that fewer than one-third of them ever work again.
The story also says “a study of helmet-shunning bikers admitted to one large hospital, cited by the Centers for Disease Control, found that taxpayers paid for 63 percent of thei
r care."
The story says libertarians often demand: “Let those who ride decide.” This retort came from Jacqueline Gillan, who heads Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, an insurer-funded lobby group: “Let those who pay have a say.”
I've received three letters in response to Fritschi's, all supporting motorcyclists' right to choose. We printed two, but I rejected one out of concern for accuracy. It claimed 40 percent of motorcyclists were “unendorsed” and that the state has too few personnel to help those riders wanting endorsements.
I rejected that letter after speaking with Jim Miller, the state Department of Transportation's deputy director of the bureau of field services.v
Miller says an “endorsed” biker is one who has a license to ride or has a learner's permit.
Instead of more than 40 percent of motorcyclists being unendorsed, Miller says state statistics do show that almost 43 percent of fatalities involving motorcyclists were unendorsed last year. Those fatalities, however, include anyone involved in a crash involving a motorcycle. Those victims could be people riding with motorcycle operators or drivers of autos that were involved in accidents with motorcycles.
Miller also says he heard of only one complaint this year about lack of personnel available when someone was seeking an endorsement. That, he says, occurred in March, before the state offered endorsements, a season generally running April through October.
Regardless, the debate is on. “The focus should be on crash avoidance, not safer crashing,” Jeff Egler of Edgerton reasoned in a letter responding to Fritschi's. “Contrary to what many believe, a helmet is not a cure for fatalities and injuries.”
What's your take? Should the state, as Fritschi suggests, join others that require helmets because of costs to society and taxpayers for ongoing care of motorcyclists who suffer brain damage after crashing without helmets? Or should Wisconsin, home to Harley-Davidson, keep letting riders choose whether to use helmets, which bikers argue can be stiflingly hot and limit hearing and vision?

Ruby Helmets
You might not know this, but I am a huge fan of motorcycle helmets......Good thing I found this job!
I came across these Ruby Motorcycle Helmets on the internet and wanted to share them with you.
I can tell you that Iron Horse Helmets will never sell this motorcycle helmet brand because each helmets costs about $1,200 and our normal 3/4 shell motorcycle helmet sells for $45.00.
$1,200 for one motorcycle helmet.....Wow!

Dirty Santa Gift
It is that time of year again....You know the time. The time when the boss needs to decide on Christmas bonuses.
Only, I don't think the guys in the warehouse deserve a bonus. All they ever do is bitch about the cold this time of year. In fact, just yesterday Jake said "I am freezing my balls of out there."
I have taken it upon myself to find the perfect gift for the warehouse guys and I think this Etsy product is it:
