Ya This ^^^

 

I don't wear one at home, or in the truck, or at the movies. Now that I think about it, I really only wear a helmet when I ride.

Good for all you guys that are wearing one . I have been an RN for almost thirty years now and worked some time in my local Hospitals ER . Friends and fellow riders really love that pirate look, well good for them . I have seen facial injuries that are horrenous and hideous . Teeth ripped from your mouth,now your being fittted for dentures . Massive facial disfigurement ,you will not be going out in public much because you will scare the children . Your jaw may need to be wired shut for several months . Maybe a hole in the side of your face when your sliding on the pavement . Just a few things I have seen over the years .

 

I grew up in Chicago. I only wore a helmet if weather dictated it. I've been living in a helmet law state for the last 10 years. I probably will wear a helmet every time I ride now. I've just gotten used to it, and prefer the protection that comes with them. That being said, I have grown VERY fond of Modular helmets. While modulars are not the absolute best money can buy in terms of safety, they are an excellent alternative to not wearing one.

 

I think people should have the choice to wear (or not) a helmet. I've never ridden without a helmet (started age 12) and I have no plans to change that.

 

 

I almost always wear mine (3/4). I've had rocks bounce off my helmet a few times that would probably have stung like the dickens had I not been wearing the helmet. Also it helps keep my head warm on my 50 mile morning commute.

 

Only wear it when I'm in a state where helmet is required.I totalled an ultra no helmet,got couple of bruises on my face other wise all ok.Wearing a helmet won't prevent you from breaking your neck,I'd rather be dead than be crippled the rest of my life.It should be a choice not a requirement,just my .02.

 

I grew up riding bikes without a helmet. When I started racing dirt bikes, I wore a helmet of course and I guess it kinda stuck with me after that.

Here in Nebraska, you have to wear a helmet. I wish it wasn't law...I'd still wear one for the most part, but on days I'm running a quick errand in town, it would be nice just to jump on the bike and go.

 

That fairly well sums up what I was going to say, minus the expletives.
