I always wear a helmet, but if someone else doesn't more power to them. I don't thimk it should be manditory. we have way to many laws already.

i was in a nasty accident with no helmet. some how i didnt destroy my head though, i only had a minor cut(nice scar now) even though i flew a good 20 feet after being T-boned full speed by a truck. i still enjoy not wearing one, but the risk out weighs it.

plus sticks--rocks--toys--cans--bottles--tobacco juice--hamburgers--hot dogs--eggs--birds--bees--cigars--ash trays.........................Mer wrote:Personally I don't understand how people ride without helmets. Not only for the protection it, but for the bugs! I've had way too many "mystery" bugs hit me dead on center of my visor to ever consider not wearing a full face helmet everytime. I had one HUGE bug hit me between the eyes on the highway and it just vaporized on impact with my visor....thank goodness! I've also had a bird hit me in the helmet and I had blood splattered all over my helmet and top half of my jacket. Man was I happy to wearing full gear!! YUCK!!

Helmets should only be worn if a rider owns a brain worth protecting. You probably know who you are......

Couldn't have said it better myself.
About 1 1/2 years ago I was in a motorcycle accident, and i don't think I would be able to respond to this post if I wasn't wearing my helmet.

Thanks for all the responses. I plan to always wear a helmet, but If I was still young and indestructible getting ready to ride for the first time, seeing so many riders that day without helmets would make me wonder if I really needed one.

Yes, you need one. But I must admit that in my younger days I rode quite often without a helmet. A helmet is to biking what a condom is to sex. You can't beat the feeling without it but it wearing one can save your life.
