I always wear a helmet, last 6 months or so it's been a FF. Now that the weather is warming up I don't know how long that is going to last, I may go back to a half helmet. I have gone lidless at times when in states with no law.

 

I don't wear one when I'm in a state that allows me to choose..... but that's gotta be the best argument for wearing a helmet I've ever read...!

 

Yes and no.

To and from work in rush hour traffic, yes. In the Winter, yes (helps keep me warmer). Otherwise, no.

Wife usually won't wear one if I don't, so I'm thinking of wearing one all the time to get her to.

I have a 3/4 and a 1/2, and she has a 1/2 and sometimes wears my 3/4. The face shield helps her deal with her allergies and all the stinkin' pollen.

 

ya I dont either

 

I wear a half helmet 100% of the time. I have purchased several full face but I can't get used to them. Michigan just repealed the helmet law, but there are a few restrictions. You must be 21, passed a safety course in the past 2 years, and have a minimum of $20k in medical on your motorcycle policy (even if you already have medical insurance).

 

"To each his own" but I always wear mine.

 

All the time, everytime!!

 

One of my accidents (I've had 2 bad ones in just over 25 years of riding) I was wearing a half helmet. It did its job, but I got lucky. I was going to work on and went down in the dark. If it wasn't cold I probably would not have put the windshield on my Road King. The helmet was gouged all the way around and the windshield was almost ground through. I had no scrapes on face because windshield saved me. Now I wear a 3/4, but miss the half as it just feels better. This is why I understand when some don't want to wear helmets. I hope and pray they never have to find out whether or not they should have worn one.

 

The wife and I always wear our helmets along with long pants, boots, and long sleeved shirts or mesh jackets. Added note, in 2008, I while riding alone and T-Boned a deer and slid down the road 150 feet, thank God I had a helmet on, usually 1/2 helmet and because the weather was cool I also was wearing a leather jacket and gloves.

 

Hard to understand, Michigan says we no longer need to wear a helmet while riding a motorcycle. You still need a helmet while riding a ATV. The other thing is that I have worn a helmet while snowmobiling sense 1969 and I would say 999% of all snowmobilers have always used a helmet not only for protection but also warmth, and other reasons, This was With out any laws requiring the wearing of a helmet while riding a snowmobile. Then a few years ago a law was passed requiring the use of a helmet while snowmobiling. Why? I do not know. Now motorcyclists do not need a helmet even though others do. Go figure.
