asleep at the wheel. Peery, riding North

“My helmet was shattered in every

neck or head injuries.” Peery stated
with a smile, “My first thought while
looking at the shattered helmet was that
that helmet probably saved my life.”
Peery recalls when he first became in

who advised me to purchase a helmet,
but the helmet cost forty dollars. The
man then questioned me, ‘well how
much is your head worth?’ ” With that
thought, he bought the helmet, and now
with no regrets.
