I wear a helmet most of the time, but I sure am glad that when I decide that I am too hot, or when I feel like riding in the wind without my brain bucket, I can. I know it is risky to ride without one, although I am not so sure about how much more risky it is. After all, we are choosing to straddle a vehicle moving at legal speeds up to 70 MPH on two wheels! Should something happen to dethrone us, chances are pretty good that we are going to be in trouble with or without a helmet. I don't think the government should have the right to mandate helmet use, and I wish lawyers could be mandated to deal only in common sense and true justice!
