Since some states require wearing helmets, isn't this poll misleading?
I wonder what the percentage of the population (not necessarily the percentage of states) that has to wear a helmet is compared to the polling results. :shrug:

I don't wear "dew rags"---I wear helmet liners and like helmets, I have more than one or two. The best is named "Wick it". I never believed a piece of cloth would make such a difference in helmet comfort. BTW---added a WSB and Bilt helmet since the picture. Can't wait to Daytona to see what I can try on this year!!!! (It is a sickness)
“Motorcycle fatalities are not only our No. 1 source of organs, they are also the highest-quality source of organs, because donors are usually young, healthy people with no other traumatic injuries to the body, except to the head… [a mandatory motorcycle helmet law] could put us out of business – or at least the business of organ transplants.”
—Transplant surgeon quoted in “Brain Dead: Why Are There No Mandatory Helmet Laws?” by Jerry Garrett, New York Times online, July 7, 2008.

I always wear a helmet even though my state (SC) does not require it. However, I don't like full face helmets too much, only use them when raining or very cold. I do believe that each one of us has the right to decide if wearing a helmet is important to us, therefore I oppose the mandatory helmet laws even though I choose to wear one.
I always wear a helmet, even where it ins't required. Sometimes I do wear a half helmet instead of a full face, but that is becoming more rare for me to do.
I wear a dew rag sometimes, like when t's really hot outside, but I find them pretty uncomfortable.
I always wear a helmet, no exceptions. I have ridden for a long time and I have come off the bike a few times and I have always been thankful I had a helmet on. I never know when I am going to be put in a situation when I am going to need the protection so I always wear the skid lid. I had a neighbor who got run over a block from his house. You just never know. Besides it has been proven that in hot weather a helmet actually keeps your head cooler.
Dont u remember the pumpkin and the telephone pole?
this is your head at 20mph duuhhhhhh!
I never leave home without one.
No need for a dew rag or liner washing here as I rarely wear a helmet. I only wear a helmet for extremely cold weather riding. I've only been riding for 35 years and only get to log 30k or so miles a year which I know is far less than many riders here.
Never went down while riding a bike so no extra incentive for me there. I have always wondered why on earth helmets aren't required while driving a car. Even with the advent of airbags head injuries are still the number one cause of death in motor vehicles. Or seat belts for children on a school bus.
I wonder how many motorcyclists wear a helmet in their car? .batman-smilie.
Not looking for a pissing match, but...it only takes one time. It happened to me and the helmet did it's job. My head would have hit for sure.
