Wearing a helmet to me is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool.

What about your back, knees, arms, legs, feet.

I own 2 Goldwing's and was guilty of riding in the summer heat with just a t-shirt and flip flops, no helmet.

I ask myself one day: "Am I ready to accept the consequences of what could happen riding at te age of 70?"
The answer was a big NO, and sold my pride and joy.

And for you dorks that say "If I refuse to wear a helmet why should that bother anyone."
Wearing that helmet or not doesn't bother anyone, it's the %&**^$#$%^&* noise that bothers people the worst.

True Story:
My dad told me he rode Indian cycles in the early 1920's before warning and caution decals were applied to bikes.
But, one decal was on the gas tank of his Indian cycle that read: "If you abuse me, I will kill you,".
