I humped a 70 lbs rucksack up and down the mountains of the central highlands of Viet Nam wearing a steel pot to protect the freedom of my countrymen and me to ride a motorcycle without a fiberglass helmet.

Its my head, leave me alone with it.

More people die each year from head injuries in auto accidents than motorcycle wrecks so let them wear helmets first.

You make a damn persuasive case. ;-) And thanks for being there and doing that.

There's no adult helmet law here in NH (over 18 year old). Helmet usage seems to be about 30-40% during our annual Motorcycle Week in Laconia, and most seem to be worn by the younger riders. I'm more worried about the women in cars yakking endlessly on their cellphones or texting (which is illegal).
