I have two Honda Goldwings and have ridden cycles ever since I was 18 in 1973. I was in sever accidents where the helmet saved my head form severe damage. One where the helmet was unuseable afterwards. I cannot stress enough that helmets are a necessity...............

No helmet is usable after a crash- it's designed to crumple from a single blow.

There is a choice involved.

There is a nanny state issue here.

I began riding at age ten on mini bikes in 1968 or so. I’ve had one (1) accident, and that was an Iranian pulling out in front of me in heavy traffic in 1983. Fortunately, I was in second gear, and not travelling that fast.
