No bro i hear you, all vaid points, I actually do wear a helmet once in a while, but i just hate absolutely hate, the government telling me i have too, hey lets face it every one knows it is safer to wear one, its common sense, the big issue to me is having the freedom to decide, LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE BRAVE..thats what they tell us atleast, but the freedom seems to keep disappearing and its because if people dont care about a particular freedom they dont help out there buddy who might be real passionate about it, i am not sure if i am making sense, but as bikers i think everyone should be pissed when they have no choice whether they would have chose too or not.

23 Dec 2009, and 85 yr old woman turned left in front of me. I was doing 35mph. Here is why I wear a helmet all the time....
Thats my blood on the face shield.
My Poor Springer is STILL in the shop (parts are hard to find)
My Ugly mug... Note the swelling on the side of my head. This is four hours after the crash. I am now scheduled for surgery for a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder. Took three weeks before I could eat without my head and jaw aching.

Being military I don't have a choice, not that it matters all that much. It's like wearing a seatbelt in a cage, never know when you'll need it; but much better to have and not need than to need and not have.
Hell, I bought my first helmet when I started racing motocross, only because it was a requirement...don't ever remember a wreck that it helped with, but that's probly because I had it on.
To each their own, but don't come cryin when you scuff your face off in the name of freedom.
