The way I read that is the guys ewearing helmets will eventually develop yhin of no skull bones and will have to wear the hlemet all the time. I will stick with my normal bone headed skull thank you.

Thinking about it you helmet wearers probably have protected sex all the time so as to avoid any possibility of STD's, guess which part of the species survives.

As a fellow NH rider I think that sums it up...although I have seen a lot more riders with helmets these past 2 days.....but that could be because of the cooler temps as well I suppose

I live in a Free state I wear one when riding in city traffic and dont riding in the country. I always wore one on my jap bikes because I did more stupid (fun) things on them.
Again, your comments clearly show you know nothing of CT, yet you keep talking about it as if you do.

To the OP, it's freedom of choice. You don't get that choice when you cross the border into NY or MA, but you have it in CT. Your life, your call.

Sometimes I wear a helmet sometimes I don't.
Don't ask me why cause I don't have an answer.
One thing I do know is I like having a choice.
I do not want to be told what to do by politicians period.
