I wear one when it's required (aka mandated).
Otherwise it sits in my closet gathering dust.

I always wear a helmet, however it is MY choice as should it be yours if you do not. Its not for the gov't to decide and I'll help fight if Texas tried to institute it.

Illinois, I probably wear mine 98% of the time. I do think it should be my choice, not a mandated law.

Yes! I helped do it before, and I would help do it again, even though I always wear a 1/2 helment.

I wear one when it's cold. But it's an ACC novelty helmet, if that counts. I usually wear a pickup truck when it rains - can't see an advantage to riding in the rain, when you have a truck at home.

probably wear 95% of the time. it's a choice and to each his own, my dad doesn't wear one much, he's been wearing it more when he rides with me, but I've never said a word to him about it. It's my choice and his choice also...
