I have always been a helmet guy cause I wanna look good in the casket. I want them to say "Aw, don't he look natural" or "Aw, don't he look good" or "Aw, look at that smile on his face". The headlines read.."he was traveling at a high rate of speed when...."..
But why is it that most guys have their passengers wearing a helmet and they don't wear one? Guess they want their gal to survive them and spend all their life insurance on the new boyfriend. Or maybe they want the gal to be there to take care of them when they are a brainless, disabled burden to society. Who knows. Decisions, decisions.

Richard "Quig" Quigley was the activist in CA that went up against the CHP and made the helmet law virtually unenforceable in CA. As long as you have something on your head, you're good to go. You could probably get away with wearing a yarmulke, but I haven't tried it.

They just have them wear them so they have something to throw under the kick stand in case they have to park some place thats its soft so it wont sink in.

Helmets in general....hurt my head. Most put a RED DOT on my forehead after 15 minutes riding. So, to avoid the RED DOT....I take a rubber mallet and smash the foam in.....to make room for my head....therefore screwing up the cushioning effect of the helmet.....OR...
I can buy a novelty helmet that fits and feels good. I have a shed full of DOT helmets
suggested to me. 1/2 helmets, 3/4 ones...they all suck as far as comfort.

Coming from a state where there isnt a helmet law (CT) i dont wear one. Im willing to not wear one in my state that doesnt have the law then im willing to wear one thats comfortable in the states that do have the law. I wear the novelty helmet to apease the law.

I don't think you need to wear a helmet.
