I have seen a lot of hostility against helmet laws in this newsgroup, and they all seem to come from the states. Perhaps idealy it should be legal to decide for yourself whether you want to wear a helmet or not, especially if you come from the land of the free, home of the brave (or something similar crappy)!).
But why on earth would anyone *NOT* wear a helmet. A guy with a 100$ head wear a 100$ helmet. If you are not wearing a helemet at all, you must really be an complete and utter idiot! In general I consider people riding without a helmet not to be a REAL biker. From where I come from it's just stupid kids that ever ride without a helmet.
On the other side. If you can't take care of yourself, perhaps you don't deserve others to do it for you.
