Every time you ride a motorcycle, there is a risk of an
injury. That is the nature of riding a vehicle with only 2 wheels. There are no
roofs and doors to cover and protect you from harm. You are vulnerable to bad
weather or accidents when riding a motorcycle.

However, there are safety gear you can wear to protect
yourself from harm. One important safety gear is the helmet.  This perhaps is the most common and most
important piece of safety gear you should wear when riding a motorcycle. You
should choose the best motorcycle
helmets that will fit your budget and needs.

The first thing you have to consider is what type of
helmet you will need. This can be determined by asking yourself several
questions like: what type of motorcycle do you have; where are you going; and
how fast do you drive. If you already know the answers to these questions, then
it’s time to choose the helmet that is most suitable for your riding profile.

There are different types of helmets namely Full face,
Modular, 3/4, and 1/2. The given list is arranged from the most protective one
to the least. Keep in mind, however, that that more protection a helmet
provides, the less comfortable it becomes.

If you use your motorcycle for racing or if you’re just a
fast driver, you might want to use a full face helmet. This helmet provides
maximum protection. By its name, it’s a full sized helmets with chin and jaw
protectors. This type of helmet usually doesn’t have movable parts which is
quite uncomfortable to wear. However, maximum protection is guaranteed with
this type of helmet.

The modular type of helmet is one of the more versatile
helmets available. It’s one of the best
motorcycle helmets designs created. It’s also a full sized helmet but it’s
more comfortable to wear because it has movable parts like the eye protector.
The lower part of the helmet is perfectly shaped for the chin and jaw.

The 3/4 type helmet is the most commonly used helmet by
average motorcycle users. Modern 3/4 helmets are considered as some of the best motorcycle helmets in the market
today. Usually, this type of helmet does not have a face protector but modern
3/4 helmets have the option for a pull down face protector. It doesn’t have a
chin protector though. This helmet is one of the more comfortable to wear
although it usually costs more because of its complex built and different types
of materials used.

The 1/2 type of helmet offers the least protection of the
4 types but it provides unparalleled comfort. The main purpose of this helm is to
cover the top of your head. It doesn’t have an ear protector. It doesn’t have a
jaw and chin protector as well. This is good for casual motorcycle ride where a
helmet is required but you want the comfort of not wearing one.

Make sure to choose the right helmet that will fit your
needs and budget. You don’t have to go with a full sized helmet if you are just
going to use a scooter.  You also do not
want to wear just a 1/2 helmet if you are going to use a big bike on a
highway.

So i went to my trip from the little back to , the flights had two stops, first at from than at from Prague and final destination San Francisco.

The things started to complicate when we were told that we can’t land at JFK due to president Obama leaving the airport. We started going in circles near New York, however after two circles we were running out of gas so had to refuel, we took a ~20 minute trip to Bradley airport.

We stayed there for two hours, either waiting to be fueled or listening to apologies on how the fueling should take less. After that time we set direction to JFK, by the time we reached the airport my connection to San Francisco was supposedly (according to an airport employee i asked) already flying :/. Problems weren’t solved by simply getting to the airport, i had to go past the customs and immigration office. They had two problems with me, one i don’t know when am i leaving the country and two i come back after being for about 9 days abroad . The first officer was just smirking and took me to the suspicious office, or however they are called. It is worth noticing that most people in there were either latinos, muslims or indians.

I waited there considerable amount of time (probably something like 2 hours) and when it finally come my turn i was done in like 5 minutes. I explained the guy that i am IT freelancer and that i like the weather and IT events in California and poof he made his decision, the rest of the 5 minutes was either typing in bureaucracy or advising me not to come again on the visa waiver before say, next summer.

Ok, so, i’m legally in the US, but i missed my flight? It is the first flight that i missed , i spent quite some time searching for Czech airlines to fix the mess they made, but i couldn’t find them. I gave up and looked for United, the airline that is supposed to take me across the US to San Francisco, they were very quick and professional, they issued a new ticket for a flight tomorrow morning at 6am.

Where does this leave me? I have food, coffee, internet but not shower :/. I stink and i have nowhere to go till 6am (nexxt ~8 hours), i guess you can’t have them all?
