Never... and I vote on these dumb things every time they come up because its my choice and you never know who might be reading. I'm sure someone on here is in the states upper up and they need to know it's my life and my choice. People like Mr. Haus need to be band from existence. Buy a Can-Am Spyder and leave us Harley boys alone.

Sorry, I live in a state that required me to wear a helmet.

I want the CHOICE to wear one or not. I do ride a lot of long distance rides and I usually wear a helmet even if it's not required.

On long trips I will wear my full face because I have issues with my eyes getting really dry. If I'm going out for an hour ride or less, sometimes I won't wear a helmet but I will wear goggle to help seal around my eyes (this is when in states that don't have the law).

For me, I just don't like anyone telling me what to do. I want the choice.

Really ? Around here, there's geeks and old people on Can-ams. You'd think it would gain more traction in the province where it was invented.

Glad that PA let's us choose for ourselves, but I always choose to have my full face helmet on whenever the bike leaves the driveway.

I wish Michigan wasn't such a **** state.

I rode without one tonight despite the stupid law. First time ever riding without a helmet. And I liked it!!
