I feel that you should have the right to choose .....BUT .......that is as long as it doesn't affect ME . You choose not to wear one , you pay more for insurance etc. The cost shouldn't be spread out to all of us. This is difficult to enforce but I am sure we could find a way.

If you want to risk it , I have no problem with that . I understand we are all different and have our own thoughts about this stuff. The minute I start having to pay for it in any way shape or form though, then I have a problem because that is the point where what YOU want to do is being forced on someone else.

I personally where protective gear as much as possible . Helmet gloves and boots (covering ankles) are usually my minimum on road or off. Prefer armored jacket as well.....

I always wear a helmet, got a concussion in the Army once and don't want my brain rattled again. That being said, to me it should be the choice of the rider as long as they are over 21 and/or have at least 3 years of riding under their belt.

Motorcycle laws get in the way of Darwinism and that's a bad thing....although it does force dumbasses to become more inventive which is interesting.

i saw a tank drive over a dead body .it was flat when it was over.flat i said.so when on the road if your lucky in a crash i would hope a helmet would help in any way.its better to have tried to be safe then not.think of your loved ones every time you swing that leg over your bike. you do what to come home save.

Back in the day 60's and the 70's I didn't wear one except at the track.

Against, but anyone riding without a helmet should, when they crash, be left to bleed out unless they have at least $10,000,000 in insurance coverage.
