im always asking what states have them so i found 2 good sites.

i already heard everything on wearing helmets so i will wear one only if its a law in any state im in.

some states only require you have 10g insurance coverage or completion of a moto riding course for you not to wear a helmet.

holy crap I never knew that many states had a no helmet law.

Personally I don't care what state I'm in, I'm wearing my helmet.

Everyone is always going to have there 2 on the helmet thang.I used to wear mine when i live in the bay but when i came to chi i didnt wear one ...my view was totaly different w/o the helmet .helmets saves lifes but then again it could also kill you and thats just my opinion.....If we take long rides then ill use one in the hwy ...but other then that im all open .

I just wouldn't feel comfortable not wearing mine. I know it's a personal choice for all of us but I'm glad I had mine on when I touched ground. Otherwise part of my chin and back of my head would've been gone

I wear my helmet everytime I ride... when I went down, it sure kept my head intact..... Ive seen many foos go down, and many marks on their helmets..... pretty much save their head, I guess those who dont wear them are hard heads...LOL

Hittin' your noggin on the ground hurts even if you ARE wearing your helmet! Been there, done that!  :P

<--- don't care what state or temperature it is. I'll ride with my visor open if I have to. The helmet's stayin'! :)

from another side.....growin up in ILL i learned to ride without a helmet.... 90 degrees and you like fuck that this shit is too hot... its more of like a weather guard than safety equip... now i moved to a state that requires you wear one (TN) and its WTF its really hot why am i wearing this but.... in ILL its all flats.. in cali, TN and all these other states, the terrain is alot more challenging and there alot more fatalities on sweeps and twisties with 100 ft bluffs for a shoulder

so therefore, there are reckless riders everywhere and some states just need it to protect their precious tax dollars

and #2

if i (hypothetically) were involved in a high speed crash
or accident where helmet saves my life.... I would rather pass from riding without the helmet than be a para or for that matter a quadrapalegic because i wore it...

I.e. I would rather die doing something i lived for than live for something I can never do

would it be safe to say that if a guy puts a 45 to your head and says "You will stop riding from this day, or i kill you" you would let him kill you?
