Elio Addict
I wanted to start a thread to gather information on Elio and their progression in regards to military installations. I ride my motorcycle on base to work and, of course, wear a helmet. All military installations require helmets to be worn by motorcyclist regardless of the state that the base is in. So, even if you are in Montana, you have to wear a helmet on base. Of course, that's the safe thing to do anyway which is why the military requires it by all members. (on AND off base) Now, of course there are people who don't wear helmets off base but they are supposed to. I remember while stationed in Montana, one of our guys was out drunk at 0200 near Sturgis and hit a pedestrian while on an on ramp to the highway (he was really drunk and so was the lady walking). They hit heads and he got killed. I don't remember if she died, sorry. Anyway, a helmet would have saved him that time though drinking and riding probably would have taken care of him eventually.
Now, my point. Since the Air Force (for instance) requires I wear a helmet when I ride a motorcycle, if I were to ever be in an accident without one, it could be bad... bad enough to affect survivor benefits perhaps. What if I'm driving my Elio? Will the Air Force require me to wear a helmet while driving it?
