I dont know if the board has seen the bumper stickers...
Become An Organ Donor, Ride a Motorcycle. I will never ever get on one and no one in my family will get on the death machine. My wife got called out so many times in the middle of the night to go do workups on Donors that had been involved in motorcycle accidents. Young people, healthy and dead. Absolutely sad.

No doubt they are dangerous. I remember a story they did on Big Ben last fall, They said he didn't wear a helmut, but he wasn't one of those wild riders, he just likes to cruise around. He said he's real careful, but you can't control the other drivers out there. With a friggin million dollar superbowl arm, I think I would be doing all the "cruising" I can handle after I retire.

They just replayed the interview on ESPN from about a year ago. Interesting. He says in the interview that "if it was a law" he would definitely wear his helmet, but since it's not, he doesn't.
I had always heard that you can't legislate common sense, but maybe you can.

Bet he'll have a helmet on next time he rides. If he didn't have to wear a helmet on the football field would he go out there without one? Been a Steeler fan for the 30 years, waited for that Super Bowl victory for 25. If his injury is real serious, his actions will set the club back - big time! I though they needed a good back up for if he gets hurt next season. They really need one now! And Charlie Batch doesn't cut it!!!

that is unfortunate, he could of been one of the greatest ever... personally,he should of atleast waited 3years after being in the NFL.. this way he would of plenty of money for his family after he retired(or die)... this was just a selfish decision

Maybe not. Remember the hockey players that were grandfathered a few years back...you never know! I kinda though Big Ben was different. I sure hope I don't have to add him to the "million dollar arm & nickel brain" club with Heath Shuler & Ryan Leaf!!
