If I could only be so lucky ;)

Where are we riding?

On the trails....helmet 100% no questions asked, goes on before I even back off the trailer.

In my yard/spare lot....no helmet. Not necessary.....flat ground, no technical terrain, not enough area for any excessive speed.

Im not a real big helmet wearer, even on my street bikes....but helmets are the law on public trails and I will follow it.

I agree with aaronrkelly in asking in what type of terrain. If some of you would have read mine closer, before blasing some of us that don't always wear a helmet, you would have read "I'm in my 3/4 acre yard" moving stuff around, I've never ridden on a trail yet.

Now, when I'm on the cycle, I always wear my helmet, even though we don't have to in our state.

Like I said if I would go to a trail, then I'll wear one.

Yup, in the yard, moving firewood up from the back, i don't wear one either. Loading up, no helmet either, but on the trails, absolutley yes every time.

Funny story, when I lived in ND, there was no helmet law. I went out, started my bike (ninja 600, and I was 50 lbs lighter) realized I forgot my wallet in the dorm, looked at my helmet when I went back inside, and thought, "I better wear that today"... don't know why. Long story short, about 45 minutes later I was laying in the road, about 20% of my skin scraped off. Don't know what happened, (found out later) adrenaline kicked in, and I hop up in a panic, feeling no pain, and my helmet falls off. The only thing holding it together was the chinstrap and the visor. I split it when I hit the ground. It saved my life for sure.

You mean like this?
 

I do. But when I was single, I always put a helmet on my soldier before sending him into battle!

Noob here, but not to ATV's

Last time I rode without a helmet was in the Sand Dunes in Central LA.....last damn time that happened. Smacked my head real hard and ended up with my first of many concussions.

always you never know what can happen in a split second

On Trails I never do..never did even riding dirt bikes we never did..not saying its the smart thing to do but ehhh ..

Funny thought though..as I was typing this up I just remembered when I left the Army I had to pay for my kevlar being as how I have no idea were it went..last I saw it I think was 91?? maybe

Crime

When I ride with my son always, trails always, around the house seldom. It depends on what I am doing around the house if I am riding for fun then yes if I am riding for work (hauling wood, sand, deer) then no.

I will always wear one when I trail ride or at the track. At the farm or hunting at the flat land rach I won't.
