Default Helmets

i have always worn a helmet because California law requires it but even if it didn't i still would for safety reasons. Anyone agree or disagree with helmet laws? Do you choose to wear a helmet or not? Thanks for any feedback

You're getting this reaction because this topic and the topic of pipes have been beat to death more often that assless chaps.

There are obviously two sides to the helmet issue and one feels as strongly abouttheir viewas the other side does.
