Has a previous biker, I can also testify that a helmet is not the only thing
you need, add some real leather gloves and pants/jacket. Averaging a close
call a week from idiots motorists, I finally gave the bike to my
brother-in-law over 12 years ago.

Gary, take it from a retired Harley mechanic, helmets are very helpful
in case of a mishap...you can just pour a guys remains in it and after a
crash at 300 mph, though I doubt there would be enough left to FILL a
helmet though....

300mph is not hard for a motorcycle. My uncle has a Honda CBX that can
top
out at 160-170 (with nitrus of course). If they're using a V10, 300mph
is
deffinitly in the cards. You have to remember, motorcycles are very
light
and very fast if you know how to tweak them.
However, theres no ammount of money that you could give me to hop on the
back of that thing! I don't think a helmet would even help if ya
flopped
it.
