Bonneville America Forums Forums Rider Safety Forums Riding Technique Helmet? Who freaking cares?

I never wear a helmet unless passing through a state that requires I wear one. I also wear a T shirt and jeans when the weather is warm enough to do so. My choice and I love the feeling of freedom it gives me. I love the wind in my face and can not understand why anyone would want to wear all that restrictive uncomfortable gear when the point is pleasure and fun and freedom. Almost everyone I ride with chooses not to wear the gear including Wendy. I can actually see it from both angles and do understand why some choose to wear it but it should be a choice and because I choose not to does not make me any less intelligent than the person who chooses to wear all the gear all the time. All it means is I choose freedom.
