Couldn’t care less, I personally prefer a helmet. If you want to ride without one exposing your head, if laws allowed, go for it.

Riding without a helmet is great if you have a full head of hair ! Unfortunately if you're bald like me a helmet is a must !...b.

I really don't care. Personally I'd likely wear mine law or no law.

Just got to looking since I thought Sikhs was a turbine. It's a place in Canada.

Just what do you mean by the term Sikhs?

It's a religious thing. Sikhism is a religion that requires the wearing of a turbin over long hair for men (an women?). Canada requires everyone to wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle, but Sikhs are exempt from this, at least in some provinces. Some people in Canada object to this helmet exemption.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dastar

Maybe those who don't want to wear a helmet in a helmet-only state can claim a religious exemption of their own. Just think, bikers without helmets as a religious minority group. I wonder if liberals would go along with this?
