This one will pick up a little steam once someone posts that if you don't wear one you are stupid and if you do your neck will break. [sm=joke.gif]

Illinois here.

No helmet law. I wear one 99% of the time by choice. It makes sense to me.

I did for the first month or so when I first learned. Now I don't. Personal choice, but if I want to lose the thrill of riding I'll just take my car.

Posted this elsewhere, but my brother told me one time...The difference between a helmet and no helmet is open or closed casket. THAT makes sense to me.

I live in Florida where I don't have to wear a helmet, but I still always wear a full face one.
I started off without a helmet and then went to a 1/2 then a full face, becausethe wind was very annoying in Kansas, where I use to live. I don't have a windshield and it is more comfortable to me to have on a full face, even though I live in Florida and it is no where near as windy here.

Not required here in Florida but I still wear one most if the time. I'll leave it at home if I'm just riding along the beach during the summer.
