Ya think we are headed for injuries?

Question

I have noticed geezers and geezerettes my age beginning to ride scooters and mopeds..many without helmets. I am sure they are being used because of the cost of democrat gasoline but with so many old folks riding scooters, I wonder (with fall rains) how long it is until accidents happen with increasing frequency. Is this happening in your community?

Answer 1

yep seen it here too,central WI, not only w/o helmets but in shorts , t-shirts, and my favorite flip flops.......if only I were plastic surgeon  

Answer 2

Geezers? Geezerettes? Democrat gasoline? Your a spunky one aren't you?

Answer 3

They're gonna die anyway.

Let them enjoy themselves while they wait.

In the street or in a sick bed,

either way you end up dead.

Answer 4

Yeah, alot of people are trying to learn to ride to save on gas.

i tell them gas is alot cheaper than a hospital bill.

   (if they survive)

Answer 5

Answer 6

We had an 82 year old Man get killed last month on a scooter here leaving the scooter store! They said He left the lot WOT (wide open throttle), crossed the road and hit a utility pole guide wire, throwing Him off onto the pavement on his head (helmetless of course) He died at the scene. He rode it all of 30 feet.

Answer 7

more riders the better, stupid to not take safety seriously.
