Helmet???????

[biglubusa1]

When i took my motorcycle class last year the instructor mentioned that rhode island is 1 of 4 states where a helmet is NOT required for the rider, only the passenger. Does anyone know if this is true and what the 4 states are.(I always wear my helmet).

Very taboo in Australia to go without helmet. I assumed (based on movies) that helmets were only worn by 50-60% of american riders....

Obviously not so....

50 State Helmet Law Review

Arizona doesn't have a helmet law, but there are way to many rocks and sand. By the way there are some pretty big bugs and killer bee's. I wear my helmet all the time.

I'm in Cali. Everything is illegal here. Helmet law here went into affect when I was a kid so I've never been on my bike without it. I would feel naked and exposed without a helmet.

i have to admit, in my cruiser days i always just wore a skid lid, my eye protection was just some shades...

wearing a full face helmet always felt a bit clausterphobic(sp?)


I have since changed my ways...

but the wind in your face actually was a pretty nice feeling...
