No judgement, just an honest question
We’re not going to assume that everyone enjoys wearing a helmet when they ride, and while we are of the mindset that safety is always a top priority, we realize not everyone shares our opinion about helmets. For a lot of riders, the decision is made for you based on the particular laws of that state but if given complete freedom to choose, what’s your position on wearing a helmet?

I wear a Helmet and a Leatte neck brace, plus jacket, gloves and ankle boots on and off-road. Riding pants when I am doing longer distances. Been riding for 30 years and plan to ride another 30 at least. They wont stop the morons in cages from taking me out, but they improve my chances. The Leatte brace is great on long trips, takes pressure off your neck muscles, but it takes some practice using it in traffic.
If Hailwood, Agostini and Reed needed helmets, who the hell thinks they're so damn good that they don't need a helmet?
