    My gf and my friend's gf are driving me nuts! They absolutely REFUSE to wear a d*mn helmet when on a motorcycle.......unless they are on a bike with me or if my friend is in town, and that's only because we force them to wear it.

    Now I just found out my gf is LEARNING to drive with my friend's motorcycle and had a minor accident while doing so.......and not wearing a helmet. Her response......"i don't need a helmet because I'm learning!". Wtf? Are you retarded? She doesn't understand you don't have to be moving to die from a fall. Land on a rock the wrong way and you're in the morgue.

    My friend's gf had an accident wearing a helmet (half face, almost as worthless as no helmet) and busted a tooth out, got some road rash on her face and split her knee open a couple months ago, and still healing. She should understand the importance more than my gf. But her response is, "we are on scooters, not big bikes!" or "we are just going in town to shop". Complete morons. The road is just as effin hard if you are on a 100cc scooter or a 1000cc super bike. My gf saw my helmet, the scars and damage I had after my accident so she really has no excuse either.

    If they were children I would force them to wear the d*mn helmet everywhere they went for a week. (including sleeping, eating, taking a crap, shower...so on and so on) I want to tell my friend but I think my friend would blow his top and his reaction would be more extreme than what I proposed here. I told my gf next time I catch her not wearing a helmet she can pack her crap and go home.

    Has anyone here had a stubborn gf who just refused to wear a helmet? I'm at my wits end with this issue.

    What drives me even more crazy is they laugh and role their eyes when I tell them to wear their helmets like it's some sort of effin joke. I'm going to post the picture of my X gf's face on the door from her helmet free accident. (she was inches from death after her accident and still healing and not mentally right after the accident more than a year later.)

    I don't give much of that to begin with and she doesn't ask for much.

    Another concern (which is secondary to her safety) is that I know who will be paying that hospital bill.

    I totaly agree with on this issue, they can be hard headed, not that is any good if they have an accident, maybe reverse psychology may work? Say what will do without you if you die, yea I know the answer guy’s just get a new one lol.
    A dufos come around the corner on his bike the other day kid standing on the seat in between the husband and wife almost fell off right in front of my car, his dads elbow saved the kid, put my heart up through my mouth for a second or two.

    Most motorbike drivers here take their lives for granted and they never seem to care for what might going to happen. They think that theyre driving a scooter or less powered motorbike then it'll be less fatal but what they forget to think about is that theyre not the only people/drivers on the road so dont put your life in the hands of other drivers.

    i used to give my brother a flogging everytime they go out without a helmet, back then they tend to forget and took everything i said about driving for granted till one time he got pulled over for both driver and passenger not wearing a helmet plus no license because he was only 15 back then but hard to tell because at 15 he is already about 5'11 tall so to teach him a lesson, i didnt bail him out. He was on his own!stuck for a night in prison just so he learn his lesson the hard way after that he never bothered to take the motorbike out until he finally got his student permit license and bought a helmet.

    That's at least 250kph with no helmet, shirt and brain. Dangerous to be an idiot.

    Brian, I like that psychology. Wrye should explain, that he lost is last girlfriend to an accident without a helmet. So he can only expect to lose his current girlfriend in the same way. Kind of works with the fatalistic Filipino philosophy. So therefore is she will not wear a helmet, he should start to shop around for her replacement. She might react to that.

    Blah, she already knows the girl is still alive. The "shop around for her replacement" or having a backup gf thing might show some quick results though. Ha

    Nothing gets my wife's attention faster than jealousy. I ask her if she wants to go and run around a lake with me, but she thinks it's too hard and says no. I talk about all the pretty girls out running and she is suiting up.

    Ha, Ha, now slow down lad, take a deep breath, there, thats it. now assume the lotus position and focus your mind, and relax. If that dosent work, just get those little white pills the dentist gave you for pain, the last time you were there, you know in 2005,it says take one but take two instead and wash them down with a extra large glass of coke and Tanduay, If that dosent work just go shopping for her replacment, nothing gets a Filippinas attention quicker than a little jealousy. Sounds like she is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, sometimes u just cant fix stupid. Good luck.
