I will let "natural selection" take care of those that don't wear helmets. I'd rather die from a hard hit to the ground and head trauma, internal bleeding, blah blah blah than have my brains scattered all over the road. At least I could have an open casket at my funeral.

That's hot! I see a lot of guys not wearing helmets 'cause they think it makes them look cool, Well they don't look cool, in fact they look pretty stupid to me" , now I know I'm profiling here but if a non-riding HOOTERS GIRL has it figured out, then it should be a no-brainer,(which is exactly what you will be if you don't wear a helmet!)-'nuff said
If its good enough for Hannah, its good enough for me!!

I live in Virginia & its a Helmet state. I think you have to be CRAZY to ride with out a minimum, Helmet, Jacket, Long pants & boots... I know to each its own, but you never know when you might crash & after it happens, you can't change the results...

I work in a hospital. I've seen the aftermath of brain injuries. Sure, if you crash without a helmet you might be killed. You might also live though but be completely dependent on others to perform even the most basic things for you. You could spend the next 50 years with someone changing your diaper every time you take a s**t. I never ride without a helmet in addition to other gear.

My friend that took a tumble in the desert's helmet... He needs a new helmet- not a new head.

You'd have to be an idiot to not wear a helmet. I went down a few years ago in a freak accident and over 90, and hit my head hard enough that it almost split my helmet in half.
