I don't quite understand, why is it that we need to keep telling people???? I mean we see what happens all the time...if you need to be reminded to wear a helmet maybe you should not be riding.. I mean just stand up in your house go to the center of the room and let your body fall back. bet it will hurt. so if something that little hurts so much imagine doing the same this at driving speeds.... its not like any of us guys that wear gear have known some big secret. we just don't dig pain all that much.

I thank God that I live in California and there is a helmet law. I do not think I could fathom seeing someone riding a motorcycle without their helmet. I would probably go off the deep end seeing how stupid humanity can be.
My helmet saved me from certain death ONE block from my house. Just to let everyone know, the local market is two blocks from my house. Wear your helmet even if you are going to the local market.

We BADLY need a helmet law here in NM. I would say that on any given day, I'm the only guy I see wearing a helmet. It's a sad thing when it's a rarity to see someone else riding with a helmet.

for the law, i think there shouldnt be a law. just my opinion but it should be a privilege for people that are responsible and just want to "cruise" around town for a bit - dangerous, yes. .but that's their choice. It's not like drunk driving, that can kill other people - wearing no helmet will not kill anyone except the person that took the risk. Do I think it's smart to not wear a helmet? hell no.. but once again, that's the rider's choice..
I hate to hear a guy is paralyzed in a wheelchair for the rest of his life because of a bike-ride, it really sends the reality of what could happen to you. I dont think any of us would want something like the love of riding taken away from something stupid like protection. plus leathers make you look buffer muhaha. A helmet might hide your face to the opposite sex but i would rather be able to go home and look at myself in the mirror thenlooklike a burned victim- chicks do dig scars but not on the face.
god bless- wear protection

So, I was talking to Harley owner last night. He got tossed years ago...flew like 15 ft in the air. Landed on his shoulder....scars all over, including the side of his head and ear. Got really lucky. He wears full gear now.

usually someone not wearing their helmet will be killed instantly, not many make it out alive..
I guess if you want to look at it tax wise - understandable.. i think everyone else in the world would be saying the same.. seems like everyone is looking out for #1.
(your never going to get away from taxes unless your working with the government.)

helmet law should be enforced in every state. i don't understand why it isn't??
These people pay lobbyists to bribe politicians to come up with reasons why helmets should be optional.
