I live in CA and have since I started riding. Got To Arizona during the Laughlin run, and rode without a helmet for the first time. Now I see why people fight so hard to have bikers rights and to abolish helmet laws. It was great to feel the breeze in my extremely short hair and not have that brain bucket up there for a while. The first thing I noticed when I got back to NV and put my helmet on was the extraordinary amount of sweating that my head does with a helmet. Anyway, maybe it will be repealed here on eday too. Who knows...

 

........then maybe you or I will win the CA Lottery.

I know what you mean. Whenever I cross state lines the lid comes off.

 

Luckily I can ride helmet free whenever I'd like but I rarely take advantage of it. But I couldn't imagine not having the choice. It is a great feeling.

Congrats on your first helmet free ride.

 

Now if I could only type the letters in the proper order....

 

Laws can be appealed get enough people to fight it ... I can remember at one time when FL had a Helmet law and CA didn't ... Is the reverse now... Always believed in Freedom of choice .. Actually wear a Helmet most of the time but are days enjoy practicing the Freedom of choice especially in hot 90 degree weather where sweat so bad get a headache and can't think straight ... Am sure all these Helmet do gooders never consider that factor...

 

Ah, the forbidden fruit tastes twice as sweet.

 

I'll go helmet-free around town.

On the open road out here in Montana, I wear the helmet, though I don't have to. All it took was a couple of pieces fo gravel from a truck that I thought was far enough ahead.....

 

Feels good doesn't it?Dress for the ride,not the slide! Rode all weekend helmetless,and now my buzzed scalp is peeling from sunburn!Won't forget the sunblock next time.

 

i remember when i lived in cali and there was no helmet law "those were the days" , but wait now im in MO. and we're about to have law change "riders choice" cant wait.

 

Thats Funny ... Lucky for me don't burn like most or would definitely be peeling big time...
