Choosing the right Motorcycle helmet can make a difference…..literally between life and death. But how does an ordinary guy in the street make an informed decision about what kind of helmets give the best protection? There are so many makes, models and styles. Wholesale Motorcycle Windshield Not to mention DOT approved, Snell approved, ECE approved! It is enough to make you go goggle eyed when confronted with so much information. Tests have shown that it is perfectly possible to suffer a fatal injury falling off a stationary bike if you hit your unprotected head on the kerb, so clearly choosing the right helmet is important.

But which one?

Wouldn’t it be easier if someone just said, “Look, when you are in a crash, you need to protect this part of you head, because this is the part that is most likely to get hurt”…Well that’s what I thought. But it wasn’t that easy. The kind of information you need to make that kind of call requires someone, somewhere to look at a whole bunch of motorcycle crashes, look at the motorcycle helmet damage, assess where point of impact occurred and put the information into a form that allows ordinary motorcyclists (like you and me) to make a decision for themselves.

However, the good news is that if you look hard enough, the information is available. A study was carried out a few years ago by Deitmar Otte, at the Medizinsche Hochschule in Hannover, Germany on the damage incurred to helmets worn by motorcyclists involved in accidents. His analysis was extremely detailed; in fact it was far to detailed for me to go into here, but it was extremely important. What I am going to do is tell you in a nutshell, what parts of your head are most likely to be hurt in a motorcycle accident, based on Herr Otte’s findings. The rest is up to you…

Take a motorcycle helmet and look at it from the front. Now imagine it is divided into three sections; the top (the cranium area) the middle (the area most likely covered by the visor) and the bottom (on a full face helmet, this would be the chin guard area). If you were involved in a motorcycle accident, and you hit your head you would have a 35% chance of the impact occurring to your chin area, 10% to your visor area, and 22% chance of the impact occurring to your front cranium area. Choosing the right Motorcycle helmet can make a difference….

Dave called me in a panic, his favorite thing in the world–a Honda CBR1000RR had been stolen. He had parked his motorcycle in his parking space and when he arrived the next morning it was gone. This was not, he painfully explained a factory Honda, he had added many parts such as a special exhaust system, brakes, and more components then I can even remember. Unfortunately, he remembered every single thing that made his motorcycle the most spectacular motorcycle in Seattle. And the one thing he told me over and over again was he would never be able to find another Suzuki with the special red racing paint job. 

As his insurance agent my job was not to find his motorcycle, even though it was the only way to completely satisfy him, my job was to provide Dave with the financial compensation through his insurance policy to get him back to where he was before the motorcycle was stolen. Weeks went by and his motorcycle never showed up.  Dave reluctantly accepted the insurance money and started shopping to replace the irreplaceable motorcycle. Eventually he found a new motorcycle. 

Two months went by and I thought I would never hear from Dave again about his stolen motorcycle. The conversation I had next with him I have never had and do not expect to ever have with another client again.  Dave spoke in an almost hushed tone as if he was worried someone might over hear the conversation. On the other hand he was giddy with excitement like a school boy describing a mischievous act he was about to do the next day. Dave was thrilled–he had found the guy would had stolen his motorcycle.  I thought he had given up on ever finding his motorcycle again but he had been checking Craig’s List every day to see if anyone was attempting to sell one his special add-on components.  As luck would have it, he found what he was looking for. 

He had set up a meeting to meet the thief the following day. At this point the hair on the back of my neck was standing on end.  I begged him–your life is more important than catching the motorcycle thief.  Secretly I was more afraid for the motorcycle thief because the thief had no idea how angry Dave was about losing his bike.  He reassured me that he was working with the Seattle Police who were helping him set up a sting to bring this thief to justice. He said he had to go and would call me tomorrow.  I hung up the phone and sat there bewildered and still a little concerned for his safety. 

The next day Dave called.  This time he was ecstatic.  He explained he not only had caught his motorcycle thief but had also helped to take down a Russian gang that had been stealing motorcycles all over the Seattle area.  When he arrived at the location where the exchange would take place, he said the Seattle Police where hiding in different locations.  He was suppose to walk over and identify his stolen parts, make a hand signal, and the police would rush in.  He described the scene as if it were lifted out of a Hollywood movie.  Apparently the thief brought his girlfriend along to sell the parts.  When the police were handcuffing her boyfriend she was screaming and cussing.  I could almost hear the Bad Boys song playing in my head when Dave described the scene.  Dave was on cloud nine.

Dave never recovered the entire bike but most of his prized components were recovered.  Since Dave was already compensated for his stolen motorcycle the components were the property of the insurance company.  The good news–the insurance company let him keep all the recovered components. 

Dave was very happy with how it all turned.  And that is how you catch a motorcycle thief.
