Some one asked about helmet laws in various states or if they were required. How many here wear a helmet whether or not it is required by law? Sex, age, ride, and the reason you do or don't.
I do!
Male, 54, Honda Shadow, I think it is only common sense to wear one. My wife and daughter are/were in the medical field plus we lost a friend to NOT wearing one.

Male, 50, Suzuki GSX1100G. ALWAYS wear a Helmet, when people ask Why or say Ain't that Hot? I tell them that My head has met the pavement Twice with a Helmet on, I don't advise it without one.

Male, 31, CBR1000rr. I live in WI, where we are not required by law to where a helmet but I choose to in order to limit my risks of injury. My little brother is in need of a liver and I often joke around that a rider behaving foolishly without a lid is "possible donor", not that I am wishing them any harm just that the organ wait lists are shorter in states without helmet laws. That fact alone is enough for me to wear mine 99.9% of the time I ride. I also have an f4i that I use to race at a local strip where they require us to wear helmets.

Male, 70, 08 FLHX, I don't wear one because I don't like them, besides nobody has shown me where they do any good over about 30mph. Let those who ride decide. Based on number of fatalites per 1K accidents, the first 6 safest states do not have a helmet law. When they got rid of the helmet law in Pa. fatalites went down.

Male,46,1990 XT600E. I always have and always will wear a full face helmet. I have headbutted the rear of a car at 10mph/16kph and face planted on the track at 80mph/120kph and still have my skull and face intact. If I hadn't been wearing a good helmet on either of these occasions, my children would probably be fatherless
