That's too bad as he comes across as such a decent guy. Hopefully all will be well but I can't help but wonder if he'll change his mind about wearing a helmet now? Before I think he was comparing how it feels to ride a bike with a helmet versus how it feels to ride without one. Now maybe he'll compare how it feels to crash without a helmet versus how it would have felt if he'd have been wearing one.

I think what you're wondering is right.  I believe Terry Bradshaw told him at one point that if he wanted to drive a motorcyle, he could do it when he retires.  

Still no word on his condition but if he's unable to return to football, will be a real waste of incredible talent, imho.

Brewman:
Not a Steelers fan, but I do ride motorcycles, and I cringe every time I hear about an accident.  This morning someone hit a deer and was killed.
Last week 2 teenagers were on one and crashed the day of their graduation from high school.  They'll both survive, but they're in serious condition.
Driver of the motorcycle was breaking several laws- he was on a learners permit with a passenger and no helmet- both illegal.
The ironic thing was that they were struck by a fellow classmate who violated their right of way by turning in front of them.  

wmccall:
I was once ready to buy a motorcycle, but I now believe they can't be ridden safely in an urban area.  This isn't the rider's fault, but people are too aggresive and impatient.

When I was ready to buy I was sitting at a red light minding my own business when the guy behind me forgot to stop.  Bad luck for him. Had I been on a bike, I'd probably be dead.  Someday if I buy a house in the country maybe.
