OUCH! I am glad you are still alive, homey. If you are still riding, do you wear a helmet now?
I live in Illinois and they do not require you to wear a helmet, but I do no think that I have ever ridden on-road without one. Hitting your head on hard objects is bad, hitting your head on hard objects with a helmet on- not so bad.

Wow, I am surprised that 90% of the riders in no helmet law states wear them.
I live in Illinois and I wear one 99.9% of the time. It just doesnt feel right to ride without one. I see the majority of riders here dont wear them.
I do. Personal choice and I firmly believe that.

Ya know... nobody is going to like what I have to say.
Does anyone remember old school football and hockey players??
Remember when those leagues started making their players wear helmets?
There were some that just went along with it. And there were those that fought it tooth-n-nail. And today... they all have to wear them. And for good reason... it helps them from dying or being crippled!

Statisticaly speaking, increasing your skills will keep you safer than any helmet. Feelings are a good thing, except when you base decisions on them.
#2 - My wife asked me to. And if I die because I didn't wear one... then I am showing her that I don't respect the fact that she asked me to or that she cared enough to even ask. And really... I think that if I die because of this... and she is mad at me for it... even my afterlife would be crappy!!
Try hugs.

Tx has done away with and gone back to the helmet law several times in my nearly 40 yrs of riding. I've always ridden with one and now it's just a good habit - plus it completes my RUB riding outfit.
