Safe Doesn’t Have to Mean Boring When You Choose an Iron Horse Helmet

When it comes to choosing a motorcycle helmet style there are several potential options. You could opt for a full face helmet, an open face helmet, or even a flip up helmet. The full face helmet is considered to be the safest option as it offers the most complete protection, whilst an open face helmet makes you feel closer to the road and the environment around you, but offers the least amount of protection, should you find yourself in an accident of any kind. When you choose a helmet it’s important to think about what you want it to achieve: Remember that the key function of your helmet is to protect your head in the case of an accident. The brain is the most complicated and the most fragile organ that the human body contains, and the fundamental function of whichever kind of helmet you choose should be to protect it.

Function and Fun

There are certain things that every biker needs before they can hit the road: firstly a bike (of course!), the protection of a high level bike insurance policy, and all of the right safety equipment, including a protective and well-fitting bike helmet. Word like ‘safe’ and ‘protective’ are key when you’re choosing the right bike helmet for you, but they don’t exactly conjure up illusions of stylish and glamorous riding. However there’s no reason why you can’t be fashionable as well as safe and protected: safe doesn’t have to mean boring. Especially when you choose an iron horse helmet!

The motorcycle helmet you choose to wear actually says a lot about you. Life almost everything else you wear, your helmet can be a great reflection of your personality. It can immediately let people know that you are a thrill seeker, that you are fun loving, or that you are a cautious and conscientious rider. Those with cautious personalities tend to opt for full face helmets, and take their safety very seriously, ensuring that they wear all of their safety gear for even the shortest of journeys. Those who opt for open face helmets tend to be more occasional riders who ride for the thrill of it and tend to only take to the road during the warmer months. These riders tend to be a bit of a daredevil, and of course they care about fashion and about how the look when they’re on the road too.

Accessories Your Helmet

Once you’ve chosen the helmet that will suit you best it’s time to inject it with some fashion and some style: the possibilities for motorcycle helmet accessories are almost endless. Those that want to nod to the punk culture can decorate their helmets with motorcycle helmet mohawks in a wide range of colors and styles, whilst you could inject a nod to your Nordic or Viking past by adding horns to your helmet. Female riders may well want to give their motorbike helmets a more feminine touch with the additional of such details as pigtails or even oversized bike helmet bows. Each of our bike helmet bows is made of acrylic and is made by hand, meaning that you will receive a unique and well made. All of our accessories can be added to your existing helmet using industrial double sided tape (meaning that they are interchangeable and you can regularly change your style or color options). They are also all tested at high speeds, so you can be sure that whilst you’re enjoying a thrilling ride you won’t be leaving your helmet accessory on the road behind you. All of the motorbike helmet accessories available from Iron Horse are completely safe and fully protective, having passed all of the relevant safety standards. It’s important that any accessories you choose are similarly safe and that they won’t obscure your view in any way or affect your ability to ride safely in any way either. With our affordable prices and our fantastic range, why not reflect your personality and accessories your bike helmet? It is possible to look stylish and be safe at the same time!

Customers

Leaving is like a sticky bandage. You gotta just do it, and not look back. If you linger too long, that goodbye might never happen.

When Customers leave the warehouse, they’re not gone right away. We still see their face in the faces of strangers. And the next customer we meet, God help them, right? They’re gonna be compared to our other loved customer every day. And we don’t remember the bad stuff (like how they stunk up our bathroom). Nobody ever does.

Of course, we want to get a do-over. Of course we do! If were lucky enough to try again, maybe we will make it work. Or maybe we will make the exact same mistakes and it’ll end up the exact same way. Sadly, we don’t know which until it happens.

Hey, bargaining is one of the stages of grief for a reason. Even when you accept it’s gonna happen, we still have that little feeling in the back of your mind. Sure, they’ve moved on, and we wish them well, but if they ever wake up and they don’t want that life, maybe they’ll come back. It’s a pipe dream, sure, but… maybe.

But whatever happens,  we will always have those memories like little recordings in your brain. And sometimes the right song at the right time will pull them out again. We might say goodbye. But it’s never farewell.

South Carolina Bill Would Require Child Safety Seats And Belts On Motorcycles

South Carolina State Rep. Joseph Daning filed legislation that would demand a standard, rear-facing child safety seat to be used for motorcycle passengers from birth up to 1 year of age and lap and shoulder belts for children younger than 7 and weighing less than 80 lbs. “We take care of our children in cars, but they’re so unprotected on the back of motorcycles” said Daning.

Rep. Bill Taylor, called Daning’s proposal “government overreach” and said motorcyclists are a safety-conscious community. “The question is why do we need a law?. Who in their right mind would take a 1- or 2-year-old on a motorcycle and risk the safety of that child? I have been riding for decades and has never seen an baby placed on a motorcycle” said Taylor. When the issue was first raised, he suggested that the constituent concerns would be better handled by a family court judge instead of through legislation.

Motorcyclist Fatalities & Injuries Decline in 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the number of motorcyclists killed in traffic crashes decreased by 6.4 percent from 2012 to 2013, and the number of people injured dropped 5.4 percent.

In 2013, 4,668 motorcyclist deaths were reported, down 318 from the 4,986 in 2012. likewise, 88,000 “occupants” were reported to have been injured in motorcycle crashes in 2013, down from 93,000 the year before.

The NHTSA also reported that motor vehicle crash fatalities overall decreased by 3.1 percent in 2013 and injuries declined 2.1 percent.

“While one motorcycle death is one too many, we are satisfied to see this number decline,” said Rob Dingman, American Motorcyclist Association president and CEO. “It also is good that motorcycle injuries and fatalities are falling at a greater rate than for motor vehicles overall. And we sincerely hope this trend continues.”

One factor in the lower incidence of motorcycle crash fatalities was an 8.3 percent decrease in the number of motorcycle crashes in which the rider was impaired by alcohol, the NHTSA reported.

The NHTSA report also noted that there were 190 fewer fatalities in 2013 among motorcyclists aged 50 to 69 years. That decline represented 60 percent of the total decrease in motorcyclist fatalities.

A link to the full NHTSA report can be found online here: http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/812101.pdf “Motorcyclist safety is of utmost importance,” Dingman said. “That is why the AMA is participating in the Motorcycle Crash Causation Study underway at Oklahoma State University. We hope that the information from this extensive examination of motorcycle crashes will lead to better strategies for making our roads safer for motorcyclists.”

The Motorcycle Crash Causation Study is the first comprehensive examination since the 1981 Hurt Report on the factors contributing to motorcycle crashes in the United States.

When the project is completed in 2016, it will provide a large and unique data set derived from actual motorcycle crashes and riders with similar risk characteristics, with a focus on the unique circumstances that produce motorcycle crashes.

The Motorcycle Crash Causation Study will provide up-to-date information on the types of dangers modern motorcyclists face. The study is important, because it will provide new insights into which factors affect motorcyclist safety and how.

AMA members contributed money to help pay for the study, and the AMA encouraged states to redirect unused federal funds to the effort. Supporting the study are the Federal Highway Administration, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the states of Iowa, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas and Wisconsin
