I say that all that has been said for the beginner should hold true for the expierenced.I have ridden for a long time.Since the early 70's.I've never been hurt real bad but I've been there.I love to ride!Never get stoned or drunk and attempt to ride.There is less than a 50% of surviving this way on a bike.I find it more comfortable to ride with a helmet(bugs and all) To those people that have'nt crashed.Don't foget about the second biggest little word.YET! The first one is IF.Ride it and respect it.
