I used to ride quite a bit. I have been in a few motorcycle accidents, one pretty bad one. Had I not had leather gloves on & covered my face I would have been scarred for life. But I think it is up to each person to decide for themselves if they want to wear a helmet or not. When I would cross over to PA all the bikers I know remove their helmets but me. Helmets can save lives but they also can kill you. If there are going to be laws on what to wear they should insist on proper clothing too. I've seen some road rash that left some bad scars. I see girls with hi heels & sandals & shorts & think how stupid. You never think it will be you in an accident but there is always that chance. I stopped wanting to ride when I felt people were going out of their way to cut bikes off. Now I stick to my horses & I refuse to wear a helmet. I like my cowboy hat even though I know I have no protection. Next I bet there will be a law I have to wear one on my horse if there isn't one already. I am just sick of laws. Common sense seems to be lacking in too many people.
