This is my helmet. I am DoD personnal so it is required at all times but if I was not wearing it, I would not be here today. I have a co-worker, also DoD, who believes it should be the riders choice. So to make his statement against our employer, when he is off duty, he does not wear one. He is not the smartest peanut in the turd. My helmet saved my life. NM does not have a helmet law, I think IN does but does not enforce it. I think the picture speaks for itself. Take a nice long look at it and ask yourself is it worth it?
