Do you wear a helmet?
Do you wear a helmet when riding? I personally I dont I was wondering what others policies were.

yeah, there was a huge topic on helmets before, but its long since dead, so this new one will do.
Yes, i do wear a helmet whenever i ride. Partly because the state requires me too, but i also do it because i have seen the aftermath of no helmet crashes.
I have a dirt bike helmet with goggles, gets hot at times, but all around not bad. For a while i didnt have goggles. but after 5000 bugs in eyes and dust kicked up by passing cars i had to go out and get some, they really make all the difference.

Re: Do you wear a helmet?
Yup. Started riding dirt bikes when I was about 10, and if I didn't wear a helmet I don't want to guess what kind of shape my head would be in, since I seemed to spend a lot of time with the bike laying sideways and me sprawled out on the ground. That old '73 Yamaha Enduro 80 took quite a beating.shortcal wrote:Do you wear a helmet when riding?
Any doubts I had about helmets vaporized when I totaled my '84 CX650E in university. As is typical of motorcycle accidents, I went into the ditch at almost 50 mph because of two morons racing pickup trucks. Long story short, I walked away from that accident despite the force of impact that almost completely sheared the jaw guard off my helmet. That Shoei literally saved my life.
North Carolina hits 100+ degrees in the summer, but you'll never catch me riding with anything other than a full-face helmet on. I cherish (what's left of) my noggin' too much.

I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.
