I always wear one. In my opinion it would be like play goal in the NHL without a mask.

I find humor in people that state they always wear one on the highway but don't around town. On the highway is where it probably will help you the least. An around town collision is where a helmet would probably serve you best!!!!!

I always wear a helmet. A half in the warmer months and a full in the colder months.

Always, lost my best friend when his helmet came off between bounces after he hit the back of a Police car. He left twins that were 4 yrs old, and another one in the oven that he didn't even know about.

I always wear a helmet. 1/2 helmet when it's warm and a full face when it gets cold. I also don't believe in helmet laws and people should have the right to choose. It's your head, notthe gubmits.

Always... FF 90% of the time and anHJC AC-2M half helmet the other 10% cuz I don't believe in placing my fate in the hand of morons - cage drivers (crashes are rarely planned andusually notthe fault of the motorcyclist). The most minor of falls can easily be fatal without one. I've seen people die of head injuries fallingoff the rear bumper of apick-up truck travelling at 5 mph let alone a m/c.

Either take it or leave it. Depends on my mood for the day however on a long trip I will carry my half with me and throw it in the saddlebag if I feel like it.

Have to always wear it, it's the law here. Glad they make me, not smart enough to do it on my own and probably wouldn't.

no helmet law here but I wear one , I dont want a new color book , crayons and a drool bib for christmas every year . for those who choose not to wear its there buisness not mine . there was talk of legalizing lane splitting here if you wore a helmet , I think its just a back door attempt at getting helmet laws re-established.
