RE: How many of you wear helmets?
I wear one now, because I have to thanks to the Communist State of Virginia. However, I'm from Texas back in the days when helmet use was not required, unlike the "gotta have 10g in insurance" crap they got now.
When I finally move to Florida, I will only wear a helmet durning commutes to and from work. Too many cagers asleep behind the wheel going to and from work for my comfort. When I'm on the backroads doing my own thing, I'll trust in my abilities just like I did from 18 to 21 in Texas.

Always wear one , even for those short hops to the store while in non regulated ststes. Was near Ocala a month ago(hwy 19 ? )and came apon a group of riders and a poor guy being hauled off on a stretcher , he wasn't moving . The Police had the road blocked to traffic in both directions while they had to scoop this guy off the roadway. I asked the cop what happened because there apeared to be little to no damage to his bike. He said that a group were riding together and one hit the other, or swerved to avoid something. They were still checking into it. I did see a single skid mark about 20 feet long. This was on a 30mph road. He then told us all that he was glad to see we were wearing lids. Never found out the exact cause. I rode Motocross for years so I am used to wearing one.I hope he was Ok .

ummm, I think the majority of HD riders do wear helmets. Even is states where it is not forced upon you, riders still wear them.

Interesting comments so far. Personally I wear a Shoei full face, Although Ive been guilty from time to time of riding without it.
I agree wholeheartedly that it should be left up to individual choice.
