to each their own. i wear mine and always will.

 

the benefits to a full helmet are more tan just crash safety.

i've had stones bounce off my facemask that got kicked up by cars infront before, and i'm not even talking about gravel roads..

 

NM is the same way, over the weekend my son and I played "count the squids"

 

Lost count at 200+ driving through PA on the way home yesterday. I agree that it shouldn't be mandated, but I have actually had a helmet save my life in an ATV accident. It's not even a decision for me...helmet 100% of the time.

 

i would be dead four times over if it was'nt for helmets

 

I have always wear my gear when i ride. Helmet, glove, jacket, and jeans and alpine star boots. I also have a 16 yo son that rides and he wears all his gear as well any where anytime. I have 2 HD bikes as well and wear a half helmet when riding it. It sucks getting hit by denris and road grime.


Was on my way to work today and a kid flew by me on a sport bike,helmet, t shirt, shorts and deck shoes, he had to be doing 85-90+... Thats why the popo is so bad on us riding our sport bikes. He stopped and payed the toll bnooth and i passed him. Im cruising 65 and when he passed me i thought was a d bag.....

 

Unfortunatly i got another reminder just today bout wearing helmets my heart goes out to their familys
