i ride a harley.
yes i know you are still on 2 wheels, but others can hear a harley better in traffic, its bigger so people can see you better, as long as you dont drive like an asshole and as long as you keep a watchful eye on others, theres no need for a helmet thats going to constriuict your vision anyways

I'm sure that helmets save some lives yet there are reports out there that occasionally the helmet may have resulted in a broken neck.
Life occurs and you make your choices. I don't like wearing a helmet but I ride as safely as possible otherwise. I don't think that there should be laws requiring helmets once you are over 18. If you are old enough to die in some god forsaken sand covered country you are old enough to decide for yourself.
Sorry, kind of got on a rant there.
And I love wearing my leather jacket but Oklahoma summers are bad enough without a coat.

that broken neck thing is a false rumor during my motorcycle course our teacher talked about that, infact there have NEVER been any cases of a helmet Hurting someone All they do is protect you.
