I took a lil 200 mi jaunt on my HD today & it's the first time I've used my Reo while riding. The tube mods were always a PITB to fish out & use when riding but my Grande fit squarely in a vest pocket & was easily retreived & vaped at will. You simply haven't lived till you've blind squonked & vaped on the open road at 70MPH! These reosmods are amazing & it seems I appreciate mine more every day. - Thanks for making such a great device Rob!

My best (and only) friend died senselessly in a MC accident in Fl 3 years ago because he was too much of a dumbass to wear a helmet. Would have walked away with some serious road rash if he had it on. I'll never forget the day I listened to that voicemail from his mom.

Left behind mom and dad, sisters, a teen age daughter a brand new bride and at least one dude that sometimes has a very difficult time dealing with the loss.

I understand & am truly sorry to hear of the loss Russ. On the flip side of that scenario, I was in a crash in 2000 & the surgeon told me that in his professional opinion, & evidenced from the injuries I sustained, if I had been wearing a helmet I'd likely have suffered a broken neck & died as a result. While this isn't the place for a helmet debate, we each have our own choices to make. And of course the safest bet is to not ride at all, but that isn't an option for me. God bless.

So sorry for your loss.

No debate here. Studies have shown that one of the most common auto/bike accidents is auto driver making left turn with motorcycle approaching in oncoming traffic. Over and over the motorcycle does not register in drivers' brain attributed to it being not in drivers expected frame of traffic reference. So please, always keep that in mind riding in traffic!!!!!

DH and other drivers get impatient with me being so cautious making left turn from bay, with cars/trucks in oncoming bay blocking sight of oncoming multilanes of traffic. The only accident I have ever caused was same situation, blind left turn at an intersection just blocks from my house many years ago. There was at least one similar wreck there every week. Although I was going
