Good for you, I've crashed a bunch too, but I would NEVER suggest people should be forced to wear a helmet....motorcycles are a risk even WITH a helmet.
drakeandjosh007 tbh just tripping can fuck you up that’s why in a fight the most dangerous thing is when a fight gets ko and can’t catch themselves as they fall.. just a simple trip or fall even when still can kill you lol
@@94SexyStang what a stupid ass comment. Traveling on the highway is not a right, it is a privilege. If you want to exercise that privilege than there are laws that you have to follow...
As I bike rider myself I understand some not wanting to wear a helmet, the feeling is different. I used to think that way as well until I had an accident and my left arm got shattered (luckily i was able to fully recover). I was wearing a helmet, which saved me from head injuries. With that being said, there´s still a difference between a helmet and a car seat-belt: wearing a seat-belt prevents you from flying through your car and maybe causing another accident due to that. Wearing a helmet does not prevent you from flying, you will fly either way, with or without it.
The collarbone is one of the most come broken bones Doctors have known about the fragile clavicle forever, and disparage its "inherent weakness rendering it prone to fracture."
@@LMurphy789 all the people I knew who broke their collarbone was people playing football my friend broke his twice back to back playing football at lunchtime back in the day lol
@@proletariategg Congrats man I suppose. Hopefully you’re doing OK, I know motorcycle / moped crashes are rarely no big deal or equivalent to “fender benders”. I’ve never ridden without a helmet for the same reason I always wear my seatbelt if I’m going more than 15mph etc. : I don’t want to be remembered as the guy who left a wife and kids behind from something stupid.
I broke my collarbone and three ribs flying over the handles of a motorcycle when I was a teen. I was alone and had to crawl back home for about 1/2 mile. It was probably the worst pain I've been in. I had my airbrushed cobra head football jersey on, and the nurses at the hospital had to cut it off me and told me to hang it up like a poster. That was the worst of it. As my mom drove me to the hospital I was so thirsty. She stopped and got me apple juice. I still remember that glorious apple juice. Best apple juice ever.
I don't get guys who don't like helmets. I feel cool as fuck wearing motorcycle gear. Carbon fiber knuckles, spine plate, armored jackets, ect. It's like being a modern day knight riding down the road.
I teach people how to ride motorcycles for a living, teaching 4 levels of classes, up to police-rider level. I would love to see everybody choose to wear a helmet, but you can't legislate people into being safe. Bikers in Cali have to wear helmets, but choose helmets that are basically useless to skirt the regulation. Let people choose their own fate.
splitting lanes is alot safer when done proper.. But... There are a bunch of idiots who do it recklessly. I live in kansas where lane splitting is illegal but we all do it anyways at stop lights because like i said before it is safer. If you park in a line of cars like normal at a stop you run the risk of the idiot behind you not seeing and not stopping which puts you in the middle of a car or truck sandwich. Also collar bones are super easy to break out of my friends i'm the only one of a couple who haven't broke it.. yet..
There is a UK bike journalist, who's life was saved because he was wearing the best Arai helmet money could buy. He was knocked off his bike & a black cab, a Hackney, drove right over his head. They're built like tanks, really heavy & I doubt any other helmet could have taken such abuse. Helmet laws are great, but some are badly written & would allow you to legally wear a cereal bowl on your head. You should always budget for the best helmet possible, I liked AGV, they made some good quality helmets that were affordable.
Two guys in this conversation who don’t ride motorcycles want legislation regulating motorcycles. This is the same as anti gun people wanting to restrict firearms. Why not let personal choices be just that?
Lane splitting in still standing traffic is much safer for bikers so they don't get smashed from behind. Riding wrecklessly and weaving thru moving traffic is not. Lane splitting should be legal everywhere.
I love NH, no helmet or seatbelt law. Live free or die! If you want to crash and die, your choice! I always wear a helmet, but it's the principle of choice.
It's statistically safer to split lanes, BUT you're not supposed to ride faster than 30 m.p.h., at least in California. I split lanes riding to the bay every day, at least a thousand cars everyday. Anecdotally speaking, most people make space if they see you, every now and then you get that piece of shit that sees you and purposely makes less space.
In Australia lanes plotting has been illegal for as long as I can remember. But recently changed laws so you can lanesplit if traffic is slower than 30kmh about 15mph
I think lane splitting is okay to do in stand still traffic. But people get too confident and start speeding inbetween cars. You can not react quick enough for slight changes when you're going that fast. And this is coming from someone who rides. I'm from Chicago and always wear a helmet, I feel naked without one. I have been to California and Lane splitting during backed up up traffic is a godsend. But I would never split in moving traffic.
It is about freedom. As Ron Paul said it, " I believe in helmets and seat belts, but not helmet/seatbelt laws". Nobody has a right to tell you what or what not to wear. Is it stupid not to wear one? Yes. But that is not the point.
True. I saw some calculations on this. If you combine the cost of all motor vehicle accidents in the US it amounts to $784 for every person in the country. The costs increase dramatically with serious injuries.
Chris, with how our system works now, yes.. That also needs to be fixed. Lots of things would have to change if we had true, unadulterated freedom. ETA: example, just a fraction of the war funds, (war is a farce to begin with) would cover the health system. All can be done.
@Chris Lanzetta that's where the public health care system shouldn't take care of the injured Moto rider or anyone that is aware of the danger/ health risk of the activity
The guy that watches and has participated in people intentionally kicking and punching each other in the head for competition says "There should be a helmet law for motorcycle riders".
I just got into a motorcycle accident in Illinois and yes I had my helmet on. Out here it seems like most Cruisers don't wear a helmet 98% of sport bikes wear helmets. Still broke my arm. Be safe out there.
Lane splitting is really common outside of the United States. I remember reading about a motorcycle school in London where they take you out on the streets your first day riding, and show you how to split lanes.
In Florida if your bike does not have a bank lein on the vehicle you aren't required to have a helmet. I think you can even ride without insurance as long as there is no lein on the title.
The point of being against helmet and seatbelt laws is that it should absolutely be a personal choice; not something enforced by law. Whether or not it is the best choice should be irrelevant.
America is land of the FREE and home of the BRAVE. We have become too use to giving up our freedoms for "safety" . Our forefathers died for our freedoms, we just hand them over and let them extort us for trying to be free.
Seen two motorcycle crashes in LA, both happened in summer a few weeks apart. Both could've been prevented if the rider was just a little more cautious. First one, a guy on a Kawasaki Ninja, clearly speeding, lost control and slid under stopped SUV on Westwood Blvd. Tried to walk away, fell over. Second one happened at the intersection of Laurel Canyon and Sunset Blvd. Guy on a Honda CBR tried to split between a van and Camry. He didn't expect an Acura to be at a full stop in front of them, slammed into that car's trunk, flew over the back of the vehicle and landed face first on the curb (helmet on). Ouch. Tried to collect his mangled bike from the road. Forced to sit down by pedestrians. Acura left the scene. Speed kills, you are not invincible on a bike (even if you feel that way while riding). Slow the hell down.
I dated a nurse who worked in an emergency OR… she told me horror stories of motorcycle accidents. Was *always* someone not wearing a helmet. The stories were so horrific that it turned me off my dream of one day learning to ride lol. One of the worst was when she told me how this guy went flying face forward into the highway and they literally had the skin of his face pulled down to his mouth and his entire skull was exposed and they were trying to re-graft his skin back into his face. Just gnarly, gnarly stuff. It’s insane to me that it’s legal to ride around without a helmet considering all the other wacky safety enforcements they have in place in modern society.
I dont know why people are saying the collar bone is the easiest bone to break, i was coming out of a turn on a motocross track hit about 20mph, front wheel gets pulled into a rut and kicks out the other side and on the way down my thumb gets caught in my belt loop. Landed shoulder first into a whoop (small steep hill which can be brutal when slammed into) and it still didnt break! I did dislocate my shoulder and fractured my shoulder blade but my collar bone was intact.
Joe, bring back Lawrence Krauss. And if you could have him, and Sean Carroll debate, I'm sure your scientifically literate audience would love it. Particularly, I want to see Lawrence and Sean debate over the existence of "nothing". I've heard Lawrence imply that particles pop in, and out of existence, and then later heard Sean say that's bullshit. Sounds like a debate worth having. 🤞
Motorcyclist are crazy, but I’ve been doing it since I was two. I can’t just stop even after my absurd accidents. But I at least try to ride extremely safe.
I used to ride bikes, I almost got killed because car drivers can't or won't notice you, I sold my bike and never rode again after such an incedent. A guy had the chain break and lock up the rear wheel right in front of my house and he slid right into a tree because if that happens you aren't able to steer at all. Love Gary Busey btw great actor you gotta watch I'm With Busey it's hilarious.
If you are 20 or under, you must wear a helmet in Florida if you are driving a motorcycle that can go 30 mph. If you are 15 or under, you must wear a helmet in Florida if you are driving a low-power motorcycle.
The first person to die in Florida without a helmet after they made it legal to ride without it was Lynn Rushton , the head of the group that pushed for that law in the first place. Be careful what you wish for you may get it.
My boy was talking about motorcycle club. This club is here on California and is a reason why the biggest motorcycle club couldn’t make them quick. This club here on Cali is no joke. Hope they don’t don’t think you not take them seriously. Cuz I’m a big fan of you my grandpa was from Italy dattoli family.
Coming from someone who wears a helmet 99% of the time, there are legitimate times when a helmet makes riding more dangerous IMO. For example, try wearing a full helmet in traffic when it's over 85 degrees in Ohio. It's pretty much like a locked car in their when the sun is hitting it. You will litterally pass out at a red light after 10mins if you are not moving which is a huge reason that some states (mainly states with higher temperatures) legalized lane splitting. The other reason is that you are limiting your senses and lose some awareness while wearing a helmet, especially when you are going under 45mph around town and the wind noise is still pretty quiet. Try wearing a helmet while driving your car and you will notice how valuable being able to hear and have peripheral vision is. If you turn your head to look left or right before say an intersection to make sure someone isn't going to run a yellow/red light as you are approaching with a helmet on, you are blind and deaf to the opposite direction from what your are looking. The reason the majority of Harley riders will ever wear a helmet unless they are required is because their 700lbs-1200lbs+ bike is not maneuverable, so they really need that extra awareness. I hate to say this but loud pipes have haves my life at least once. People never hear me on FZ6 because it has the stock exhaust on it. I hated riding with straight drag pipes because it was annoying to even me, but I rarely had people pull out in front of me with that bike.
I suppose we should have laws saying at waht temperature people have to wear a sweater to go outside. Yep, if its below 55f and you go outside you mist wear a sweater. If you dont you get stopped by the police and ticketed. You may not understand why I dont like wearing helmets and I don't understand why you like going outside without being dressed properly for the weather. It doesn't matter. What does matter, the freedom to make our own decisions.
The law in Colorado makes perfect sense to me. Once you’re an adult I think it’s your freedom to choose if you want to wear a helmet or not (even though I think not wearing a helmet is a stupid thing to do), and I’m glad they make sure kids have to wear helmets.
Cars vs motorcycles... it's a question of one set of risks against another set. While the steel cage of a car does protect you in some situations, in others it can trap you instead, as in a freeway pile up from which there's no escape.
I think people should wear helmets on motorcycles and seatbelts in cars. I'm on the fence as to whether or not either should be a law. If the laws were removed, I would still wear both.
If you have an head injury without a helmet on,your insurance should be invalidated and YOU personally should pay medical bills etc! (That’s if you even survive)
Federal helmet laws have been eroded state by state since the 80's. At this point, 30 out of 50 U.S. states do not require a helmet for riders over 18 years old. And we wonder why motorcycle fatalities have increased over the years.
I always wore a helmet when I had my motorcycles but mainly for comfort, warmth, and to keep bugs off my face. The guys that argue against helmets say "what's a helmet gonna do if some asshole turns in front of me at 60 mph" and I understand their argument too. I just personally prefer to wear one. I also broke my collar bone playing football w/ my dad when I was younger and it's the only bone I've ever broken so don't tell me it's the hardest bone to break. Tony Romo probably doesn't believe it either!
Broke my caller bone dirtbiking when I was 10 years old they didnt do surgery or have it in a sling at all they just let it heal and omg I culd barley move because nothing was supporting the bones it just moved around all the time, but healed now and I cant tell what caller bone was broken from feeling it I cant notice a diffrence
Splitting lanes is not a problem. Its just idiots who go to fast. If your splitting lanes you should never go 10mph faster than the cars your passing. In the UK its legal and I've never had a issue in 8 years. For me it's the only way to travel during the holidays. The journey could take 2 hours in a car but 45 mins on a bike
You gotta Ride in Defense Mode the second you start that bike. I enjoy riding my Harley without a helmet. I can ride safer because I can see & hear much better. Also, I’m in Texas & many riders have No Idea that it’s Law that you must wear a helmet unless, you have completed a 2 stage DOT Training Course. Once you complete that course? You’ll receive a Sticker to place on your bike & card to carry in case your pulled over. Most all Cops have no idea about this.
Here is the thing they didn't address in this podcast that is very important. Certain states are subjected to different types of weather and percentages of times/duration out of the year for ideal riding conditions.
How do they not understand the difference between 'no helmet law' and 'helmet law' states. Three States have no law about it, 19 require all riders to wear helmets, the rest have partial helmet laws requiring certain groups to wear them. A 'no helmet law' dose not mean they are forbidden, you can still wear one.
Most states like PA, have helmet laws up to the age of 21. Regardless of being licensed or not, if you’re under 21 in PA you have to wear a helmet. 21 and over its at the riders discretion
Joe Rogan either has a spectacular memory (which I don't doubt because he's sharp and on his game often) or he prepares some of the shit that people just love. He even knows Gary Busey's characters name from Lethal Weapon "Mr. Joshua" lol
Different laws for different states man. It’s absolutely legal to split in LA because of traffic congestion. I do it every day...it’s a risk but it’s necessary.
I’m broke my collarbone on my dirt bike a guy was going 50 on a neighborhood road and I was crying he got out of the car pretending it was my fault my dad beat the dogshit out of him . Wish he wouldn’t have done that so we could have sued him
i broke a kids collar bone in grade school for throwing water bottles at me, i twisted his arm behind his back an threw him into the junglegym. it was not 30mph lol
I can't wear a helmet; I have a bad back. The weight of a helmet gives me a migraine after about 20 minutes. I'm in pain daily and if I hit the ground I don't want more pain I don't want to get up off of the pavement. Lane splitting is actually safer because it allows riders to get away from congested traffic where there is a higher chance of being hit.
I broke my collarbone when I was 13 on a bicycle I was standing up riding really fast it was a BMX bike the chain popped and so my momentum through me forward off the bike
I wrecked in my early 20's. It cracked my helmet and I had to get a few staples in my head. Without that helmet i would have died 100%
Good for you, I've crashed a bunch too, but I would NEVER suggest people should be forced to wear a helmet....motorcycles are a risk even WITH a helmet.

The other reason is that you are limiting your senses and lose some awareness while wearing a helmet, especially when you are going under 45mph around town and the wind noise is still pretty quiet. Try wearing a helmet while driving your car and you will notice how valuable being able to hear and have peripheral vision is. If you turn your head to look left or right before say an intersection to make sure someone isn't going to run a yellow/red light as you are approaching with a helmet on, you are blind and deaf to the opposite direction from what your are looking. The reason the majority of Harley riders will ever wear a helmet unless they are required is because their 700lbs-1200lbs+ bike is not maneuverable, so they really need that extra awareness. I hate to say this but loud pipes have haves my life at least once. People never hear me on FZ6 because it has the stock exhaust on it. I hated riding with straight drag pipes because it was annoying to even me, but I rarely had people pull out in front of me with that bike.
@Adam CogsdellEveryone tells me to wear it because I'm "special"
Lol
I live in Ohio and have none of these issues lol smh
bs man, lane splits should be 50 state legal. riders dont have the creature comforts of ac and shade. NOTHING should be mandatory
Dude described my wreck perfectly. Lost my ring finger, tip of my pinky, plate in my wrist, forearm bones practically obliterated.
I suppose we should have laws saying at waht temperature people have to wear a sweater to go outside. Yep, if its below 55f and you go outside you mist wear a sweater. If you dont you get stopped by the police and ticketed. You may not understand why I dont like wearing helmets and I don't understand why you like going outside without being dressed properly for the weather. It doesn't matter. What does matter, the freedom to make our own decisions.
The law in Colorado makes perfect sense to me. Once you’re an adult I think it’s your freedom to choose if you want to wear a helmet or not (even though I think not wearing a helmet is a stupid thing to do), and I’m glad they make sure kids have to wear helmets.
Cars vs motorcycles... it's a question of one set of risks against another set. While the steel cage of a car does protect you in some situations, in others it can trap you instead, as in a freeway pile up from which there's no escape.
I think people should wear helmets on motorcycles and seatbelts in cars. I'm on the fence as to whether or not either should be a law. If the laws were removed, I would still wear both.
The problem is simple - nobody hops on the bike with the thought in their head that they are going to be involved in an accident while driving.
I LOOOOOHOOHOOOOVE RUNNING STOP SIGNS!!
If you have an head injury without a helmet on,your insurance should be invalidated and YOU personally should pay medical bills etc! (That’s if you even survive)
Consent to not wearing a helmet is not consent to getting int an accident, soctherefore, I deserve care i need. Be quiet
Helmets should be MANDATORY in EVERY state,it is here in Uk!
We don't have freedom no more
Pathetic. We should have ownership of our lives
I was doing 27mph when I broke mine on my bicycle. Hurts like hell. I don’t recommend it.
1:31 shouldn't be able to lane split? Why? 😂 completely legal in england and its illegal to ride with no helmet. No problems here, ever.
Federal helmet laws have been eroded state by state since the 80's. At this point, 30 out of 50 U.S. states do not require a helmet for riders over 18 years old. And we wonder why motorcycle fatalities have increased over the years.
Get Gary Busey on the show!
My mom saw a gun rear end a dump truck on a motorcycle. Dude was DOA and spread across the road like jelly on a sandwich.
There's no mandatory helmet law in Texas.
Based texas
As a biker myself I don’t get those streetbike squids without a helmet and always on full throttle
I always wore a helmet when I had my motorcycles but mainly for comfort, warmth, and to keep bugs off my face. The guys that argue against helmets say "what's a helmet gonna do if some asshole turns in front of me at 60 mph" and I understand their argument too. I just personally prefer to wear one. I also broke my collar bone playing football w/ my dad when I was younger and it's the only bone I've ever broken so don't tell me it's the hardest bone to break. Tony Romo probably doesn't believe it either!
Mr Wonderful Let me fix that for you: “what’s a helmet gonna do if some asshole turns in front of me at 25mph” . I’d say quite a lot.
Broke my caller bone dirtbiking when I was 10 years old they didnt do surgery or have it in a sling at all they just let it heal and omg I culd barley move because nothing was supporting the bones it just moved around all the time, but healed now and I cant tell what caller bone was broken from feeling it I cant notice a diffrence
Splitting lanes is not a problem. Its just idiots who go to fast. If your splitting lanes you should never go 10mph faster than the cars your passing. In the UK its legal and I've never had a issue in 8 years. For me it's the only way to travel during the holidays. The journey could take 2 hours in a car but 45 mins on a bike
Seatbelt laws are like saying that it should be against the law to be anywhere near anyone black because of the higher risk of getting hurt
I appreciate the freedom to not wear a helmet. But I'm still going to choose the helmet route.
There should be a relative speed limit for lane splitting.
Easy answer: it should be a CHOICE!!
Wearing a helmet is super annoying but I feel like being medically regarded would be even more annoying.
You gotta Ride in Defense Mode the second you start that bike. I enjoy riding my Harley without a helmet. I can ride safer because I can see & hear much better. Also, I’m in Texas & many riders have No Idea that it’s Law that you must wear a helmet unless, you have completed a 2 stage DOT Training Course. Once you complete that course? You’ll receive a Sticker to place on your bike & card to carry in case your pulled over. Most all Cops have no idea about this.
My room mate went to doo doo and fell of the toilet and broke colar bone.
Hey Joe. So do you hit the j before your shows??
Here is the thing they didn't address in this podcast that is very important. Certain states are subjected to different types of weather and percentages of times/duration out of the year for ideal riding conditions.
I live in Oklahoma. Strict seat belt law but I don't have to wear a helmet when I ride lol
How do they not understand the difference between 'no helmet law' and 'helmet law' states. Three States have no law about it, 19 require all riders to wear helmets, the rest have partial helmet laws requiring certain groups to wear them. A 'no helmet law' dose not mean they are forbidden, you can still wear one.
Most states like PA, have helmet laws up to the age of 21. Regardless of being licensed or not, if you’re under 21 in PA you have to wear a helmet. 21 and over its at the riders discretion
I have a 2018 R6 and i wouldnt evvaar ride without my helmet lol
Broke mine, shit hurts.
Motorcycles are not dangerous, they don’t ride themselves!
Many Hollywood actors like helmets. They're incognito and can go anywhere
Why the heck has Gary Busey not been on the podcast???? That would make my life
Joe Rogan either has a spectacular memory (which I don't doubt because he's sharp and on his game often) or he prepares some of the shit that people just love. He even knows Gary Busey's characters name from Lethal Weapon "Mr. Joshua" lol
Splitting is illegal, filtering is legal at a certain speed
Maybe in Ur state
@@tankcommander4136 in LA
Different laws for different states man. It’s absolutely legal to split in LA because of traffic congestion. I do it every day...it’s a risk but it’s necessary.
Filtering is legal in Mississippi, not splitting.
Filtering is less dangerous than sitting in stop/start traffic.
I’m broke my collarbone on my dirt bike a guy was going 50 on a neighborhood road and I was crying he got out of the car pretending it was my fault my dad beat the dogshit out of him . Wish he wouldn’t have done that so we could have sued him
I searched Gary busy not Joe Rogan
i broke a kids collar bone in grade school for throwing water bottles at me, i twisted his arm behind his back an threw him into the junglegym. it was not 30mph lol
I can't wear a helmet; I have a bad back. The weight of a helmet gives me a migraine after about 20 minutes. I'm in pain daily and if I hit the ground I don't want more pain I don't want to get up off of the pavement. Lane splitting is actually safer because it allows riders to get away from congested traffic where there is a higher chance of being hit.
There are literally so many helmets that weigh under 2 lbs now and are DOT
I broke my collarbone when I was 13 on a bicycle I was standing up riding really fast it was a BMX bike the chain popped and so my momentum through me forward off the bike
That sucks man, dirt or pavement?
Same almost exactly! Broke my left twice and my right once bmxing!
PA. Helmets optional.
Get Busey on the podcast!
collarbones are ridiculously easy to break. Ive broken both of mine gary doesnt know what hes talking about
Broke both of mine too. If you land a certain way they snap like twigs to protect the rest of your body
Helmet vs no helmet is the same as condom vs no condom. It just feels that much better without one, despite the risk
I still rather split lanes I always have a fear of getting fucked in the rear!
If you've ever been far from home and had your helmet stolen, you'll wish you could get home w/o spending a bunch of money.
